About

Rich Malloy is a musical drummer who has worked across the US, Ireland, Great Britain, and Italy. Venues range from the Bluebird Cafe and Ryman Auditorium to the Grand Ole Opry and Late Show with David Letterman. He has performed with Carmen Bradford, Brenda Lee, Lorrie Morgan, and Freedy Johnston, and appeared at the New Mexico Jazz Festival three years running.

These days

He plays the drumset as a melodic and harmonic instrument, tuning the drums to specific pitches, playing melodies on the toms with mallets, and using two independently tuned bass drums for harmonic depth. All improvised: no charts, no set forms, just a starting point and where it goes.
