On drums: Ty Gellis
 |
Coming from a musical family, Ty first started playing drums at age 8. After growing up in Michigan listening to such locals as Grand Funk, Ted Nugent and Bob Seger, to name a few, he moved to L.A. in 1979, eager to make music on his own. He began to study privately for a few years, while engaging in many local Top 40-Classic Rock Bands. After surviving the Metal period of the '80s, Ty decided to take some time off music for a while to go back to school. During this period he developed a strong liking for jazz, fusion and blues. After seeing years of incredible musicians in many small L.A. clubs, it inspired him to eventually get back into playing music again once his career was intact. Fast forward many years, Ty lives up in the Bay Area, works for a great innovative company, and is now getting to finally play the blues. He still loves to go out and see live shows whenever Serious Condition isn’t performing. Ty also drums for another local blues band, and does studio work whenever he can. Ty's list of two best-ever musical experiences are getting to meet Frank Zappa and Ringo Starr. |
