Rob Bourdon
Rob was born in Calabasas, California. Rob started to playing the drums after watching an Aerosmith concert. His mother, Patty, is friends with Joey Kramer, Aerosmith's drummer. This friendship meant they could go backstage and see the entire production. Kramer also gave Rob a kick pedal. Bourdon played in a few bands with friend during his early teen years. He met his current bandmate, Brad Delson, and they played together about a year in a band Relative Degree. Relative Degree eventually broke up after achieving their goal of playing at the Roxy Theatre.
