Chester Bruce Abbott


Drummer

Back to MKB Music home page

Chester is my brother-in-law (my wife's brother). He's been playing drums since he started pounding on his sister's head many years ago. He plays a hard-driving style that exposes his early worship of John Bonham. His diversity allows him to cover rock, jazz, funk, blues, ska, reggae, and lots more with apparent ease. Along with his brother, Mark Abbott, he and I make up the Brother-In-Law Band. That's one of the few groups to actually get out of the studio and play live on occasions. When the studio horn section joins us, we become the Horny In-Laws. This group specializes in playing whatever we feel like at whatever tempo feels right at the time. A highly entertaining improvisational group.
Chester and I have been playing together for many years. He's playing (on Erick Goldman's drums) on the compositions Piece of My Heart, Shredder, Hate Runs Deep, and Got to Get Out of Here. He'll be doing lots more work in the future in the studio.
