John Cusinato
Biography
"Fanatical"...and at 4 years of age my brother introduced me to the drum set. I had an attachment to the colors, shape and sound. The 80's rock he drummed to was intense and loud yet soothing but it all seemed lucid as I would absorb it all and fall asleep on the couch in that basement while he played on. When he wasn't around I would play on his kit to the traditional Italian sounds of my father on the Accordion. Soon enough I had to supply my own kit with the use of assorted kitchenwares', Pringles chip tubes and flower pots... an experiment.
"Casiotone"...I received a keyboard before my very first drum set..."inapprehensible"...however, the perfect Tool for my creations of music.
At age eighteen I started the club circuit playing various festivals & touring southern Ontario in a Rock Band with old schoolmates. Later on we recorded an original album which helped shape my style as a drummer/songwriter.
"What the third person wrote"...
As a versatile drummer and composer he has the ability to apply himself to any musical genre both live and in the studio.
"John always has a knack for sharing the vision of a song with the artists he works with. He finds just what the song needs, and then executes it with precision. His solid playing and great attitude make him a pleasure to have on any session."
