Other People in Other Professions who Play Drums

Actor Chevy Chase played drums with Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. Actor Sam Shepard played drums with the Holy Modal Rounders.

Chevy also played drums in National Lampoon’s Lemmings. I was surprised to see that credit in the record sleeve.

Wasn’t John Stamos endorsed or maybe still with Ludwig?

I honestly thought he was a drummer who acted on the side. His Wikipedia page appears to say the opposite, though.

David Letterman can play, not sure how well. Allegedly, this is why he had Drum Solo weeks on his show.

Letterman is already one of my top 3 most favorite people/influences...this just seals the deal. Love it!!!

Johnny Carson
Will Farrell
Beto O'Rourke
Drew Stafford of the Buffalo Sabres
Zdeno Charra

Does Will Farrell, only playing cowbell (more cowbell than anyone else, though) when he was with Blue Oyster Cult really count?

Paul Rudd plays an e-kit in Ant-Man and The Wasp, I don’t know if he actually plays, but he looked like he knew what he was doing.

Also the giant ant from Ant-Man and The Wasp plays the same e-kit (although he’s not really famous and, well, not real).

Chick Corea - Pianist/Composer
Michael Brecker - Sax Player/Composer
Ron Guidry - Pitcher, NY Yankees - 1975-1988

I didn't know Michael Brecker played the drums. I'm a huge huge fan of his sax playing. Now I know something new about him. May he RIP.

How is the Biebs not mentioned?

There's a good reason he's not mentioned.

And as for Fred Armisen, also known as Jens Henneman, his Complicated Drumming Technique videos taught me more than all the lessons I've taken and videos I've watched throughout my life, combined. I think he's the greatest drummer of all time. I think he deserves a spot on the Drummerworld 500. Check out Polynesian Nightmare. Insane.

If I had seen that before, my nic would be Flamming Resticles. I gotta get fourteen more toms! (She IS NOT gonna be happy!)
