Vince Mariani

An amazing drummer, who had studied under Ravi Shankar and taken lessons from legendary drummers Herbie Rich and Gene Krupa. He could play so many different styles of jazz and rock, more than most other drummers at the time. He was a big influence to virtuoso guitarist [a=Eric Johnson (2)], helping to write and title some of his most notable tracks. Following a prolonged illness, Vince passed away on April 20, 2022.
