Cole Marcus

Only a select few drummers can boast major appearances on TV shows, endorsements with well-know percussion manufacturers, and the admiration of more experienced peers. Even fewer drummers can lay claim to all the above by the age of 5. Cole Marcus has been impressing audiences and industry alike since he was two years old. In the ensuing three years, his precocious drumming skills have earned him appearances on NBC's Americas Most Talented Kid (he won), The Today Show, Inside Edition, Access Hollywood, Extra!, The Sharon Osbourne Show, The Wayne Brady Show, The Mark & Brian Radio Show, The Tony Danza Show, and a featured article in Modern Drummer magazine.

Cole has also performed at Youth Outreach concerts across the country in front of audiences of 10,000 or more. At a recent performance on the same bill as Switchfoot, the members of that band asked him for his autograph! The young drummer was also being considered for the role of drummer-boy "Chris" in a new version of the Partridge Family, and has an upcoming role playing drums in the new film "Birthday Boy", scheduled to start filming in the Spring of ’05.

All of this exposure has earned Cole endorsements with Mapex Drums, Zildjian Cymbals, Vic Firth, Apple’s LOGIC pro-audio, Factory Metal Percussion, and Phat Foot.

Not bad for a kid who is still looking forward to entering the 1st Grade!
