Mitch Germansky -- Drums & Percussion

At age six Mitch started studying drums with his dad, Al, a well-known professional drummer and teacher. Focused on classical percussion, jazz,and rock, he played with various bands during his K-12 years. As a young teen he started teaching drums and playing professionally while also performing with the NJ All-State High School Band and Orchestra, and the first All-State College Jazz Band. Mitch pursued a BA in Math and MS in Computer Science embarking on a journey as a computer scientist in the 70s. During the past 30 years Mitch has enjoyed computers, teaching, and drumming in diverse musical settings including jazz, rock, classical, shows, dance bands, club dates, and his newest foray into Scottish pipes & drums. He lives in Berkeley Heights, NJ with his wife, two children, and Frieda, the white whippet.
