Chris Dalley is
an American
Drummer currently
for the Legendary Voodoo
Glow Skulls. Recognized as a "Pedigree" Punk
Drummer that takes no "Prisoners",
he still tours with Ten
Foot Pole when
his schedule allows and is best known as therelentless,
full throttle,
intense double bass
drummer for
the hardcore band Death
by Stereo (2006-2009)Born in Covina,
California, Dalley started
playing the drums when he was 5 years old and played
with several bands such as Lightweight,
Homewrecker, and Zero
Down with Jim
Cherry (founding
member of Strung
Out) before
joining Ten
Foot Pole in
2004. In September 2006, Dalley was
asked to join Death
by Stereo replacing Todd
Henning who
was leaving the band.
Dalley recorded
all 16 tracks for the new Death
by Stereo CD, "Death is My
Only Friend" in
a mere 8 hours and has
earned the reputation as the "go to drummer" for bands
in emergency situations
because of his ability to learn entire sets in 1
day.Zebrahead recruited Dalley to
start their 2008
tour in Europe with a 1 day notice when drummer Ed
Udhus injured
his leg right before the tour
and filled in
on several songs for Jordon
Burns of Strung
Out when
recording obligations prevented
him from starting the recent 2009 Strung
Out/Death by Stereo tour
of Canada/US, playing
with both bands. Chris was
then asked to join Voodoo Glow Skuls in November 2009,
and has been touring and recording with them since. Chris randomly
came to Piano Piano in 2010 and went up there and
played. He enjoyed it so much he became one of the
drummers to go to along with Jacob. He considers playing
at Piano Piano a way for him to play all styles of music
and is interested in doing this as long as he can.... ;-) |
