Phil Sangiacomo Says:
“At the age of 25, I can now say I have 20 years of drumming under my belt. I was lucky to have a Dad who showed me players like John Bohnam (Led Zeppelin) and Neil Peart (Rush) at a young age and that had a profound effect on me. I then discovered bands like Nine Inch Nails and Tool and realized the direction I would always be drawn to creatively.”
“In college I studied various aspects of music including Music Theory, Audio Recording, Music Composition, and Performance, as well as instruction on piano, guitar and voice. Encompassing all of this knowledge has certainly helped me become a better drummer and musician.”
“I currently play in the rock band Grandfather.”
“Phil practices down the hall from BANG’s first studio. He started playing drums when he was 5! When I first heard him, I was like ‘who is this guy?’ He has monster chops with both his hands and feet….he’s a great double bass drum player. Then we met, and I realized that he had the same relaxed outlook and the kind of personality I look for in teachers….encouraging and optimistic…..and no ego about his playing despite his abilities. He is always learning new things about drums and drumming….I’m proud to have him teaching at BANG! The Drum School”
