Claude Coleman, Jr. is the former drummer for the alternative rock group Ween.[1] He has also worked with Eagles of Death Metal, Chocolate Genius, The Wooden Soldiers, Elysian Fields and currently 3 Input Woman.
A multi-instrumentalist, Coleman is also the singer/songwriter for his own group Amandla. In 2007, he released his second album as Amandla, titled The Full Catastrophe. In June 2013, Coleman raised $11,158 through Indiegogo to fund his third album.
Coleman survived a near-fatal car accident on August 7, 2002, in which he suffered multiple pelvic fractures and brain injuries. During his extensive and difficult recovery, members of Ween organized a series of benefit concerts on October 7 and 8, 2002, New York's Bowery Ballroom. Josh Freese performed with Ween in Coleman's place. Coleman ultimately recovered sufficiently to resume his touring and recording activities, and remained an active member of Ween until their dissolution in May 2012.
Coleman is also active in music education through the Paul Green School of Rock, and through the New York City music program Music Ascension.
He is a graduate of Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ.
