AAron Rossi - Drums

My name is Aaron John Rossi, I am 27 years old and live in Southern California…and I rock the drums for a living! I love my Mommy, Daddy, and Sissy, they’re my biggest fans. I was born in Rhode Island, but grew up in fabulous Rancho Cucamonga, California. I graduated from Alta Loma High School in 1999, where I played football for a C.I.F. Championship winning team, and played saxophone in the school’s Jazz band. In 2000, I hooked up with the hardcore band “SHELTER” from New York, and went on my first European Tour. The first show was in front of 500 people, and the third show in front 30,000 people! That’s when I decided to continue playing drums professionally and travel the world with different bands. I currently play drums for the legendary industrial heavy metal band “MINISTRY” on their farewell C-U-LaTour. I also play for the legendary heavy metal band “PRONG” with Tommy Victor and Monte Pittman (Madonna), and have plans to tour with Al Jourgensen’s side band the “REVOLTING COCKS” in support of their new album “Sexo Olympico”, which should be coming out October 2008. I love all kinds of music, and all kinds of food;-) I have an awesome hot girlfriend named Molly, and the best friends in the world Gregg Cash and Ryan "Big Swerve" Merrell.DISCOGRAPHY 2005 Guitarist John 5, renowned guitar instrumentalist, also known for his work with Marilyn Manson, David Lee Roth and Rob Halford, delivers his second instrumental solo record, Songs For Sanity, as a follow up to last year's critically acclaimed "Vertigo". On this phenomenal new record, John 5 exihibits incredible diversity as a writer/guitarist which further showcases him to be one of the most technically advanced guitarists in the business today. Fans of driving rhythms and ear-catching, over the top guitar work will keep this in their CD players for months on end. John 5 offers a fresh approach to guitar instrumnetal music on his new CD, which features a guest guitar solo from each of legendary guitarists Steve Vai and Albert Lee. His eclectic influences combine for a truly unique guitar oriented record that once again sets new standards in the genre. Shrapnel Records2006 By the new millennium, after two major label releases and numerous nationwide and South American tours with former band PUYA, Ramon Ortiz was feeling the need to give life to a new, heavier, more brutal incarnation of his musical soul. Ankla represents a new musical vision deeply anchored in Ortiz' lifelong passion for extreme forms of metal. While borrowing traditional elements from thrash, death, and hardcore, Ankla still explores and incorporates some of the Latin claves and syncopations that Ramon has been known for without ever stepping out of a power groove that's intended to push boundaries and evolve modern metal. Bieler Bros. Records / Produced by Bob Marlette2007 Prong is the definition of journeyman metal act. In their 20-plus years of existence, they've consistently been at the forefront of hardcore-thrash crossover and industrial metal. Guitarist Tommy Victor, who got his start manning the soundboards at legendary CBGB, has played with members of Ministry, Marilyn Manson, Killing Joke, and Danzig in addition to keeping his main project going. POWER OF THE DAMAGER features the band's current permutation of Victor with drummer Aaron Rossi and bassist Monte Pittman, and presents a lean, turbo-charged Prong. Largely stripped of extraneous elements, songs like the punishing "3rd Option" burrow into the skull with drill-like precision, while "The Banishment" rides a tight robotic groove complete with urban-disco beat and a metallic scratch of guitar that could almost be considered funky. Considering that it's been four years since their last release, there's remarkably little rust in Prong's metal. 13th Planet / Megaforce RecordsEnjoy!!Prong "Power of the Damger" on Headbanger's BallProng
