Philosophy and Comments        

Theo Mordey's Bio:
Theo Mordey is a drummer, percussionist, recording engineer, and producer. He was born during the golden era of vinyl records in the time when the best rock and roll music was created. He began his drumming/music career (inspired by the rock bands Queen and Kiss) at the tender age of seven playing the snare drum at an elementary school Christmas concert banging away on the famous tune, “The Little Drummer Boy.”
Theo’s drumming style is influenced by Roger Taylor, Neil Peart, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Dennis Chambers, Louie Bellson, Dave Weckl, Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, Peter Criss, Gary Husband, Phil Gould, Nicko Mcbrain, Peter Erskine, Anton Fig, John Bonham, Nick Mason, Ringo Starr, Gavin Harrison.
Theo started taking drum lessons from several local instructors until he was 18 years old. In that time, he also recorded many solo drum compositions, taught drum lessons, and played drums in cover band and original music projects. In his 20s, he attended Cal Arts in sunny Valencia, CA where he got his B.F.A. in World Music/Percussion. He then was hired to play drums for the National Tour of “Jesus Christ Super Star” starring Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson and soon after he played on tour with “Tommy” and “ Evita.” He also played in two prog rock bands with some of his friends from Cal Arts, Lefty’s Head and The J.S. Bach Experience (J.S. Bach compositions in rock style).
In his 30s and 40s, Theo continued to play in many music projects: numerous regional musical theater productions, live work and session drumming. He taught drum lessons for many years, and also delved into recording engineering. In 2008, he attended Video Symphony where he received a Certificate Of Completion in Pro Tools/Audio Engineering and won “best drummer” at The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame at a Corporate Battle Of The Bands Event. He was also put on the drummer sub list for the Las Vegas production of “We Will Rock You.” Some of the recording engineering projects he has worked on include the 2010 version of “The Homecoming Queen’s Got A Gun” by Julie Brown, sound design for a live play by Pixote Hunt (Director of Fantasia 2000, and Tarzan) compositions by Jean Michel Byron (Toto), Kim Norton (guitarist for Roger Daltrey- The Who), Estradasphere, Masahiro Nita (famous shamisen player), Kevin Kmetz( main shamisen player on “Kubo And The Two Strings”). He produced many audio dramas for The Colonial Radio Theater, post production sound for countless well known audiobooks for Audible and many other fun projects. He is currently playing drums at The First Presbyterian Church in Newhall, as well as for a Pink Floyd Tribute band called “Eclipsed By The Wall.” He is still doing recording engineering and working on other music projects. Theo has over thirty years of drum teaching experience.
