Episode 61: Gordon Rytmeister Part 1

Gordon Rytmeister. Drummer from Sydney, Australia. When you look at the upper echelon of any field, there’s usually a handful of people that come to mind, right? Within the Australian drumming community, Gordo is one of those people. You only need to google his name to see the enormous body of work he’s amassed over his 3 + decades on the instrument. And that work continues, as he’s still one of the most in demand drummers around. Attitude, facility and reliability keep Gordo as that first call guy, be it sessions or live gigs for jazz, big band, pop, rock, fusion and even metal. Some of the people Gordon has worked with are: Don Burrows, Steve Hunter, James Morrison, Australian Idol House Band, Steve Vizzard Show, Bob Mintzer, Emma Pask, Mark Costa, Leo Sayer, Bob James, Tom Jones, Bob Florence, The Commodores, Bob Geldof, Barry Harris, Nat Adderley, Maria Schnieder, Lee Konitz, Glenn Shorrock (from Little River Band), Alex Koritni, Tina Arena, The Sydney All Star Big Band, Roger Frampton, Bobby Shew, Anthony Warlow, Russell Watson, Rob McConnell, Don Rader, Dale Barlow, Eartha Kitt, Jimmy Barnes and many, many more.
