Chris Vicari

Independent

My Dad started teaching me drums & percussion at age 8 and I was immediately hooked. I attended and graduated from Belmont University in Nashville, TN with a music degree and had the honor to privately study under Chester Thompson for 3 years. I've toured all over the world with The Glorious Unseen, The Rocketboys, The Ember Days, Foxhole, The Still Small Voice, played on a 2019 Grammy-nominated record and much more. My mission is to be the backbeat first, but who said that couldn't involve interesting grooves and fills, too?!

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I played a festival once with The Glorious Unseen where we played directly before August Burns Red in front of 5,000+ people. Having fellow Vic Firth artist Matt Greiner side-stage definitely inspired and amped me up that night.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    My creativity is driven by the desire to make my drum parts just as interesting and captivating as any lyric/melody that grabs a listener's attention and pulls them into the music.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I've loved Vic Firth Extreme 5B sticks since my first use many years ago. They feel great, are extremely versatile and hold up well. They are the perfect pair!
