1950

Terry John Bozzio (born December 27, 1950) is an American drummer best known for his work with Missing Persons and Frank Zappa.

He has been featured on nine solo or collaborative albums, 26 albums with Zappa and seven albums with Missing Persons.

Terry Bozzio was born on December 27, 1950, in San Francisco, California.

He started at age 6 playing makeshift drum sets.

At the age of 13 he saw the Beatles' premiere performance on The Ed Sullivan Show and begged his father for drum lessons.

1968

In 1968, Bozzio graduated from Sir Francis Drake High School in San Anselmo, California, where he received a music scholarship award, and later went on to the College of Marin.

During this time he studied concurrently with Chuck Brown on the drum set and Lloyd Davis and Roland Kohloff on a percussion and timpani scholarship.

He also played Bartok-Dahl-Cowell & Baroque chamber ensembles with the Marin and Napa County Symphonies.

Bozzio became a staple of Zappa's live act, not only because of his drumming capability but also by playing the role of the Devil in the song Titties & Beer.
