Ralph Rolle is a drummer from The Bronx, New York (Bronx River Projects, home of Hip Hop, Afrika Bambaataa was his neighbour). As far back as he can remember he's marched to the beat of a different drum. He has been playing professionally since the age of 18 when he toured with disco band Musique and it is no surprise that with more than four decades of professional experience, within the music industry, he enjoys an illustrious career as a much sought after drummer, producer and clinician.
His performance and recording list include Nile Rodgers and Chic (for which he is best known and for whom he currently plays), Sting, Bono, Bette Midler, Paul Simon, Aretha Franklin, Queen Latifah, Slash, Eric Benet, Erykah Badu, Toshinobu Kubota, D'Angelo, John Legend, Paul Simon, India Arie, Elvis Costello, Smokie Robinson, Slash, Mickey Dolenz, Gwen Stefani and many more.
Ralph also appeared in the David Bowie Tribute in the 58th Annual Grammy Awards in 2016. He recently played a stunning set with Chic, at Glastonbury Festival, wowing over 220,000 attendees with his performance of Let's Dance.
