Rich Galichon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rich Galichon (born August 21, 1968) is an independent studio drummer based in New York. Galichon formally trained at the Downs School of Music. While studying there, Galichon emerged as a three-time gold medalist in the Long Island Drum Teachers Association. Later he expanded his studies with legendary jazz drummer Joe Morello (Dave Brubeck Quartet) and classic-rock drummer Simon Kirke (Bad Company).

Mostly known in the underground New York music scene, Galichon's drumming achieved a cult following, garnering praise from well-established drummers such as Tommy Aldridge and Bill Bruford. [1]

Legendary guitar artist Les Paul presented Galichon with an autographed custom Gibson Les Paul guitar at a Beacons in Jazz award gala.
