Musician, Drummer
Tony Verderosa was inspired by Bill Bruford's use of electronic percussion units to write new music in real-time. After graduating from the Crane School of Music, Tony began working with a number of innovative drum products. He debuted the DTS70 Triggering Module for Yamaha and sought new ways to program and assign complete chord voicing to a given drum pad. Beginning in the early 1990s, Tony became a NAMM Show regular, often teaming up with Dave Weckl for new product launches and demos.
