Freddie Gruber (May 27, 1927 – October 11, 2011) was a jazz drummer and teacher to a number of professional drummers.[1][2]
Gruber grew up in the nascent New York be-bop scene, and played with Charlie Parker, among many others. Gruber's student list is long and varied. It includes such drum luminaries as Frank Zappa's Vinnie Colaiuta, Neil Peart of Rush, Bruce Becker of David Becker Tribune[3] Steve Smith[3] of Journey, former Chick Corea drummer Dave Weckl.
On Saturday, January 15, 2011 (at "The NAMM Show", Anaheim, California), Gruber was honored by Zildjian cymbals. The two daughters of the late Armand Zildjian, presented him with a beautiful award for educational excellence throughout his lifetime.[4] The large framed award featured a classic photo of the musicians PaPa Jo Jones, with Freddie Gruber and Buddy Rich. Under the photo was a plaque, and also a cymbal that was signed by the two daughters.[5]
