Gaetano Nicolosi

Gaetano started to play drums at the early age of 7. Throughout his teenage years, his passion for music, and more specifically drums, found him continuously playing in both marching bands and rock groups.

In 1993, Gaetano earned his first diploma in Catania at the Music Institute, “M. Clementi”, and he earned his second degree at the Accademia di Musica Moderna in 1997.

As a music instructor, Gaetano taught at the Accademia Musica Moderna in Modica, Sicily, and the Accademia Amor Vitae in Catania from 1997 to 2000.
Since arriving in USA in 2000, Gaetano has performed over 1000 shows nationwide with national band IronHorse, headlining and opening for acts like ZZ Top, 38 Special, The Doobie Brothers, RATT, The Outlaws, Skid Row, and The Kentucky Headhunters.

Despite a hectic touring and recording schedule, Gaetano manages to find time to share his knowledge through Drum Clinics and private lessons. In 2004 he has published his first two instructional books: "Reading Rhythms In Simple Time Signatures" books 1 and 2, and in 2005 Gaetano published his latest instructional book "Play Along with IronHorse".

Gaetano is currently an independent drummer working in various studio recording projects as well performing live, and drum instructor at the "Delaware Music Academy" in Delaware OH.
