.

Born December 15, 1946, in Staten Island, NY, Carmine Appice was voted the 'most musically inclined' in high school. In 1968 the liner notes of Fudge's album The Beat Goes On read: "...[Carmine] would like to acquire more formal training, perhaps studying with a top jazz drummer". Today Carmine teaches others, in addition to performing. He is universally considered as one of the most innovative and influential drummers to emerge from the 60s.
