and recorded with Rock legend Alice Cooper, appearing on his “Fistful Of Alice”
live album. Known as the quintessential
drumming pinch hitter, Jimmy has been

learn the material quickly, but to master it like he’s been on the gig for
years. Most recently, powerhouse
rockers Dokken and Ratt have called on DeGrasso to provide the driving force
they needed. He’s been featured at some
of the world’s biggest drum festivals, including Modern Drummer Fest,
Australia’s Ultimate Drummer’s Weekend and the UK’s Drummer Live. Jimmy’s latest news is becoming a member of
Black Star Riders…the new incarnation of mega hit -makers Thin Lizzy. Soon to begin work on their sophomore release

most influential drummers and will plan to release a signature model very soon!
