Rusty Bonham

By the name we know Rusty was meant to drum, and yes that is his real name. Rusty has been drumming since he was in diapers. When he was 16 months old he was on a television show named heart of the country, playing jump by Van Halen. Of course he didnt hit every lick, but his timing was amazing. When he was 3 he did a commercial for a local music store. Rusty came up in bars, with influences ranging from Buddy Rich and Neil Peart to Vinnie Paul. Rusty’s father was a bass player all of his life so Rusty got the proper training as he grew to be the skinsman he is today.
