Born in Geneva, New York, DiDuro learned to play drums at age 5. He played with various local bands during high school, including a band called "Madden." He moved to Orlando, Florida in 1991 and played with Donald "Duck" MacDonald in the band Playground for 5 years.
He joined The Kill in 1997; in 1998, the Kill won a contest called "Kick Start Your Career," [1] which was a Battle of the Bands-type competition that the band Mötley Crüe was sponsoring; one winner in each city got to open for the Mötley Crüe show- the Kill opened in Orlando. The Kill also won the 1998 Orlando Music Awards for best Metal Band.[2] They released one album [3] on Forbidden Records in 1998. He then played with Brizz (one of the original founding member of the band Lyte Funky Ones[LFO]) from 2001-2003.
In early 2004, he replaced Skid Row's drummer Phil Varone, who had abruptly left the band, citing personal reasons.[4] He also appeared in the Skid Row video "Ghost." In late 2004, he auditioned for Slaughter and has been a member ever since.
He has also played with Vince Neil, and currently plays with Mark Slaughter's new band Scrap Metal. Scrap Metal consists of Mark Slaughter and other platinum-selling singers such as Gunnar Nelson (Nelson) and Eric Martin (Mr. Big).[5]
