New York born drummer/percussionist Bobby Sher, started playing professionally as a young 14 year old. Bandleaders had to lie about his age so he would be able to play in venues that served alcohol. He studied privately with numerous drum instructors and also studied as a percussionist. As a young musician, his career was aided after being endorsed by Wolfman Jack, who at the time was one of the most powerful forces on the N.Y. radio scene and was the host of the famed "Midnight Special" TV show. This proved to be a fortuitous situation for Bobby in the 1970s, as it became the start of a successful career as a studio musician and played on numerous TV commercials. Bobby played for several rock bands, one in particular, the "New Breed," which opened for many luminaries such as Billy Joel. He honed his skills while playing for many celebrities at the now defunct "Catskill" mountain region.
