Chris Reardon was born circa late 1960's in Newark New Jersey and still can't figure out why he is proud of this fact. He took up drums at a very young age and has been fortunate enough to study formally with legendary teachers like Glen Weber, Joe Morello, Jim Chapin and Dom Famularo. While still in his teens Chris began playing the original club circuit earning $12.34 per gig, not including parking, (which was $25.00), and quickly diverted to playing in bands of various musical styles that could actually earn a profit. For many years Chris predominantly played Blues, Funk and Jazz for many acclaimed artists within these genres and has held down house gigs at legendary NYC venues like Chicago Blues and B.B. Kings. Chris has also performed in other notable places like Madison Square Garden, NJ PAC, Disney World and even Adam's Beer Garden (for which he is most proud). Occasionally he still ventures into the aforementioned musical styling's and also maintains a teaching practice. Chris would like to thank: DW DRUMS, SABIAN CYMBALS and VIC FIRTH DRUMSTICKS for making the best products available, his wife for letting the best products available take up a third of the house, "drumbassador to the world" Dom Famularo for education, insight, support, breakfast and giving up coffee, Mousey for driving home from NYC on Thanksgiving Eve 1993, Joe Franciscone for snoring on the L.I.E., Larry Crocket for making sure someone in France can do a one handed drum roll, and everyone that doesn't yell out song requests in the bathroom.

What I want to be when I grow up: The next JAMES BOND Favorite toy: X-BOX Favorite cartoon character: BETTY RUBBLE (and the way wears a tight blue dress like the animated little minx that she is) Favorite sexual position: Anything that involves midgets and duct tape What I like most about being in a band: Being able to legitimize the constant purchase of expensive musical equipment to my wife (you keep buying shoes honey, and I'll keep buying drums) People always tell me: You're really putting Tabasco on that? I want to be re-incarnated as: Someone who never has to fill out questionnaires Favorite alcoholic beverage: GUINNESS (it's not just for breakfast anymore) Favorite part of the female (human) anatomy: Her smile (seriously) Favorite quality in a woman: Her ability to change into a bikini and oil up properly before a catfight. This is very important and far too often overlooked. Shoe size: 12. If Elizabeth Hurley is reading - it's really 15 baby, (just don't want to show off) What women like most about me: My ability to not stare at their cleavage when I talk to them (I've found that this is an applied discipline that can only be achieved through constant negative reinforcement) If I was an animal, I'd be: A Monkey (and everyone could touch me) Favorite food: Melba Toast Least favorite recent experience: Paying to have my infected wisdom tooth removed after learning that there are some things that Jack Daniel's and a file can't fix. Most favorite recent experience: My Catholic school upbringing does not allow me to answer this honestly without feeling guilty about it therefore there is none, although, I did enjoy watching Jim McGreevy come out of the closet amidst intense government scandal and personal humiliation.
