Roxy Petrucci

The Official HEAVY SLAMMIN GROOVE QUEEN!

About Me

What does a classically trained clarinetist do after symphony rehearsals? She beats the skins for her rock band.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, I grew up in a family of musicians. Playing clarinet and drums throughout high school and into college I decided the conservatory was too conservative, so I picked up my sticks and hit the road with MADAM X. We were a talented, nitty gritty, balls to the wall rock n roll band that played every club/theatre from Maine to Cali before settling in Los Angeles and signing with CBS records. MADAM X was the real deal. We had a loyal rabid fan base that followed us everywhere and anywhere. Those were wild times! The band eventually broke up so I jumped at the chance to audition for David Lee Roth. Drummer Gregg Bissonette nailed the gig but I was thrilled at the opportunity to jam with Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan…what a rush! I went on to join VIXEN and had a blast touring the world opening for heavyweights the likes of Ozzy, Scorpions, Deep Purple and Kiss.
I love playing live; the thunder of my kick drum and the crack from my snare resonating in a room full of head bangers is so indescribably satisfying, it's like an addiction. I’m anxious to get back on stage and kick in some teeth!
Check back for new music and give me some feedback,
I love hearin from ya!
It’s all about slammin down some heavy grooves and I dig it, so thanx for stickin with me!
