Paul Labin: Drums and Vocals

I came from a very large Italian family where everyone is musically talented.  I was fascinated with my Uncle who played drums, so starting at an early age I would listen to any style of music and anything that had a beat.  I started playing professionally with bands at age twelve.  Favoring an aggresive and emotion approach I have versatile skills with musical ability to play all styles. I have a strong influence on the back-beat heavy Chicago shuffle, I have also played a gumbo of styles: funk, country, jazz, rock, swing, and blues.  I am also the owner of paldrums and percussion.

Drummersthat influence me are: Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Steve Smith, John Jr. Robinson, David Garibald, Steve Gadd, Vinnie Clarita, Tony Williams, and many more.
