[edit] Extreme
In November 2007, Kevin joined the reuniting band "Extreme" including original members Gary Cherone, Pat Badger, and Nuno Bettencourt, with whom Kevin performed in both Satellite Party and DramaGods. Kevin effectively replaces mentor Mike Mangini, who took over drum duties from Extreme's original drummer, Paul Geary, from 1994 until they disbanded in 1996.
