About Me

Nashville-based drummer Zack Stewart was born on October 1st, 1984 in Owensboro,KY. After playing in local bands in and around his hometown for most of his teenage years Zack decided he wanted to advance his drumming skills. So, at the age of 19, he moved to Hollywood,CA to attend the Percussion Institute of Technology. At PIT Zack studied with many great teachers leading him to study privately with percussion greats Rob Carson, Virgil Donati, Andy Megna, Ellis Hampton, and Jim Bailey before relocating to Nashville. Zack toured with several bands including The Van-Dells “The Nations 1 Rock ‘n Roll Review’’ before signing on to tour with the Rick Monroe Band. Zack proudly endorses MAPEX drums.
