Bobby Previte

Bobby Previte is a respected American drummer, composer, and bandleader known for his adventurous spirit and cross-genre creativity. Emerging from the New York City downtown scene in the 1980s, Previte built a reputation for blending jazz, rock, and avant-garde elements into a sound that defies easy categorization. He's collaborated with a wide range of artists, including John Zorn, Wayne Horvitz, and Elliott Sharp, contributing both his drumming chops and his talents as a composer.

Over the decades, Previte has led numerous projects showcasing his eclectic style, from groove-heavy ensembles to more experimental, concept-driven works. His albums often explore big ideas—drawing from myth, science, or social themes—and his performances are known for their energy and inventiveness. Whether he's behind the kit or leading from the composer's chair, Bobby Previte continues to be a bold force in contemporary music.
