Solid, right there, powerful, creative….  These are just some of the words used by Brian Clark to describe the drumming talent of Brian Martini.  Clark should know because he has been playing professional bass for more than 30 years and has played with a lot of drummers.  Martini himself has covered a lot of musical ground in his tenure behind the kit.  In his earlier years as a hard rock & metal player, his bed-rock sound was always an integral part of any band he was in.  He really hit his metal stride in the 80s with the Christian metal band Philadelphia.  His fully customized and rather elaborate stage setup of those days went seamlessly with his over the top playing style.  No other drummer in this area could deny that Martini’s performances with Philadelphia were anything less than a sonic and visual display of skill mixed with a genuine love for the music.  Not being a one hat kind of musician, Martini has grown over the years musically.  Like any musician, you can sit out for however long you want but the music is still in you.  These words could not ring more true than with Brian Martini.  He has found himself at yet another junction in his life where the passion for playing music is strong again.
