Paul Horowitz – Drums
A 40 year veteran, Paul was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia.
Starting out at age 12, in his parents garage drumming on a fruit
cake tin (stuffed with rags) with a chain on top to give a snare
sound, accompanied by a Zenith radio blasting out rock and roll music.
He cut
grass to earn enough money to buy his
first drum set. It was a mismatched
set of Gretsch and Slingerland drums
and the store owner threw in an old
sizzle cymbal. The rest, as they say,
is history.
After spending four
long years away at school with a
parade drum strapped to his left
leg (instead of sitting behind his
mismatched drum set with a hi hat
pedal under his left foot), Paul
returned to Richmond and a normal
teenage life in high school where
he was able to reconnect with music
and drumming. |

Through Paul’s many years of drumming, he has been fortunate
enough to have grown up with and been influenced by some of the best
R&B and rock bands in history, and has developed his style accordingly.

Paul
has played professionally ever
since his last year of high school,
sometimes getting home from
band jobs at 2 a.m. and getting
up for school the next day.
Since
those days, Paul has honed his
skills playing with many successful
area bands.
“Once
it’s in your blood, even
a transfusion won’t cure
it!”
When
he’s
not working or playing the drums,
Paul enjoys riding his Harley.
