Greg Szaro on SoundBetter

NYC Broadway sub drummer, Local 802 member and Berklee-trained (M.M., B.M.). Principal Drummer for Come From Away with Cunard. I record live drum tracks that sit in the pocket and serve the song, from pop, rock and funk to jazz and musical theatre. Strong sight reader: send a chart, a demo or just a vibe.

I'm a New York City Broadway sub drummer, Musical Director and member of Local 802, and I work full-time as a theatre musician. I hold Master of Music and Bachelor of Music degrees from Berklee College of Music and studied privately with Mike Mangini, Kenwood Dennard and Yoron Israel.

Right now I'm theatre drummer for Cunard's Queen fleet: Principal Drummer for the Tony Award-winning Come From Away and Resident Drummer aboard Queen Victoria, covering production shows, guest headliners and big band nights. Before that I spent eight years with Royal Caribbean International as orchestra drummer and Musical Director.

My book includes We Will Rock You, Mamma Mia!, Grease, Hairspray, CATS, Dreamgirls, The Wizard of Oz and Come From Away, alongside big band, jazz, pop, rock and fusion. I move from a full pit score to a jazz combo to a rock set in the same week, so I can match whatever your song needs.

I record on a 5-piece acoustic kit with Zildjian K and A Custom cymbals, and I also program MIDI drums, either written in or played live on my Roland TD-50, so you can get real drums, MIDI or both.

What to send me: a rough mix or demo, tempo and click, any chart or reference tracks, and how much freedom you want (play it as written vs. bring ideas).
