John Miceli

Drums

Before joining Meat Loaf eight years ago, John toured with "Blue Oyster Cult" on their 20th anniversary national tour, and with "Marchello", CBS recording artist, on their national debut tour. In 1997 John teamed up with Ritchie Blackmores "Rainbow" for their "Stranger In Us A" United States and European tour. John's musical accomplishments have been recognized by the industry with endorsements from "sonor drums", "zildjian cymbals", "gilbralter hardware", "evans drumheads" and "vic firth drum sticks". John also featured in an international print ad campaign for "Sony cassette tapes", which appeared in "Rolling Stone", "People", "Spin  Circus" and US magazines. When he's not touring, John teaches drums at the Long Island drum and guitar Centre and is publishing two drum instruction books featuring his unique double-bass style, "lead switch" and "sticking in the foot."

Most importantly John is the proud papa of two beautiful children: Anna and Scott.
