 Nate Morton (Drums)
Self-taught from age four, Nate's formal drum set training began during high school with Grant Menefee in Baltimore, Maryland. He continued his education in Boston, Massachusetts as a performance major at the renowned Berklee College of Music studying with drummers such as Gary Chaffee, Ed Uribe and Ian Froman.
After graduating from Berklee in 1994, he taught and played locally in Boston until moving to Los Angeles in 1999 where he has since amassed touring and recording credits which include All 4 One, Michael Bolton, Natalie Cole, Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Richard Marx, Paul Anka, Paul Stanley, Pink, Paulina Rubio and Cher. He was also the hard hitting force behind the houseband on the Mark Burnett series', ROCKSTAR:INXS and ROCKSTAR:Supernova. He cites Animal from The Muppet Show as his first and biggest influence.
Nate's endorsements include Pearl drums, Zildjian cymbals & sticks, Roland electronics, Remo drumheads, Rhythm Tech percussion equipment, and EPad practice pads.
"The bottom line is I hit things with sticks for a living, and that's a pretty fun job."
