Bob Scott has been a professional drummer since he was 14 yrs old.
His parents could not afford to buy drums so Bob made his own drum set out from waste paper baskets, plywood chairs, thermos bottle lids, and tin pie pans nailed on broom sticks for cymbals.
In the 7th grade he joined a garage jazz band and played his drum contraption.
§
A year later a local music store recognized Bob's nutural ability for drums and encouraged his dad to buy him a real drum set. His dad reluctantly loaned him the money.

Bob got enough gigs to pay back his dad before entering the 9th grade.

§
After graduating from University of Nebraska he moved to San Francisco and studied drums at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

He has performed non stop in the musically diverse San Francisco area for 30 years with many great musicians as a drummer/singer and continues to compose songs in many idioms.
