Born and raised in a Canadian city bordering Motown, the city of Detroit, Eric Dudinsky developed his initial passion for music at a very early age and picked up his first set of drum sticks at age nine. Inspired by Detroit's rich musical history and its multi-cultural scene, Eric sought the instruction of a well-known local percussionist, Carl Harris, who is currently a music instructor at the University of Windsor.Eric has been part of various Alternative bands, eventually surfacing as the drummer for a progressive-rock/jazz-fusion band, HRNJEZ. With this band, Eric played the local scene and won awards for his unique style: he was recognized as the best drummer in the area.Since his early performances, Eric has played with several bands whose musical styles have ranged from industrial, disco/funk, heavy metal, big band/jazz, to East Indian classical. Eric has played on the same bill as Canadian alternative hard-rockers Crawl (Excited Records), alternative-Gothic band The Tea Party (EMI Music Canada), Nigerian world beat artist Sonny Okosuns and his band (Stern's Music U.S.A.), Native-American rocker John Trudell& Bad Dog (Ryko), and mariachi tribute artist El Vez (Sympathy for the Indust.).Eric Dudinsky is a multi-talented and versatile drummer and percussionist, but his expertise is not limited to this field.
