Carmine Appice (b. December 15, 1946, Staten Island, New York) is a versatile and well-traveled rock drummer. He first came to prominence as the flamboyant drummer with the late 1960s psychedelic foursome Vanilla Fudge, before teaming with Vanilla Fudge bassist Tim Bogert (and vocalist Rusty Day and guitarist Jim McCarty) to form the blues-rock quartet Cactus. Appice and Bogert left Cactus to join Jeff Beck in the power-rock trio Beck, Bogart and Appice in the early 1970s. He later joined Rod Stewart's backing band, and played drums on such Stewart hits as "D'Ya Think I'm Sexy?."

Appice counts among his influences the jazz drumming of Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa, combined with an extensive classical training.

Appice's discography includes recordings done with Stanley Clarke, Ozzy Osbourne, Ted Nugent, and Pink Floyd. He is perhaps best known for his work with Vanilla Fudge, a psychedelic-era rock band. He is the boyfriend of New York City radio personality Leslie Gold, better known as The Radio Chick.

He has also played in the bands King Kobra and Blue Murder.

Quotes
