Timeline
Jeff Plate (born March 26, 1962) is an American professional hard rock/heavy metal drummer.
He plays with the group Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Jeff moved to Tampa, Florida in 1981, but soon returned New York, before moving once again to the Boston area.
There, while working in a cover band with some hometown friends, he met Boston guitarist Matt Leff.
Leff had been playing in a band Wicked Witch, whose lead vocalist was Zak Stevens.
In the fall of 1992, Zak got the call to join Savatage, replacing recently departed Jon Oliva.
Zak accepted and made his Savatage debut on 1993's Edge of Thorns.
Wicked Witch folded soon after, as they couldn't get a replacement for Stevens.
In 1993, Plate moved back to upstate New York to regroup, joining a country rock band called Voodoo Rodeo.
After hearing of the death of Criss Oliva, guitarist and founding member of Savatage, Jeff called Zak Stevens to see how he was doing, and was surprised to learn that Savatage was committed to regroup and continue.
Replacing drummer Andy James, he joined the band for the Handful Of Rain U.S tour in the fall of '94.
Plate recorded three more albums with Savatage: Dead Winter Dead, The Wake Of Magellan, and Poets and Madmen.
He is best known as drummer for American heavy metal band Savatage on their albums since Japan Live '94, and was also a member of Metal Church from 2006 to their break up in 2009 and again from their reunion in 2012 to 2017.
Plate was born in Montour Falls, New York, and grew up on a farm in Horseheads, New York.
As a youth, he dreamed of becoming a pitcher for the New York Yankees, but his plans were halted when his hip popped out of joint at the age of 12.
On crutches for 4 months, he was advised to give up playing sports for two years so the hip could heal properly.
After watching Kiss perform on The Midnight Special, he began taking drum lessons.
In 2006 Plate recorded "Long Time No Sing" with vocalist John West.
Plate joined American heavy metal band Metal Church in 2006.
During his 11-year tenure with Metal Church, he recorded four albums and did several world tours with them.
In 2009, Jeff would team up once more with former Savatage bandmate Zak Stevens and former Wicked Witch bandmate Matt Leff to relaunch Wicked Witch under a new moniker, Machines of Grace.
They recruited bassist Chris Rapoza, re-worked and re-recorded the original Wicked Witch material and ultimately released a self-titled album.
After some member changes and a brief hiatus, they reformed in 2012 and released two more albums (Generation Nothing and XI) before Plate left the band in March 2017.
He played again with the band at Wacken Open Air 2015, their first show since 2002 and continues to be a member.
The success of the single "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" from Dead Winter Dead lead to the formation of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO).
Plate has performed on every TSO release to date, including Christmas Eve and Other Stories, The Christmas Attic, and Night Castle.
He has performed on every Trans-Siberian Orchestra Tour, including the annual Winter Tours and several Spring Tours.
In addition to his work with TSO, Plate has performed on the solo albums of fellow TSO and Savatage member Chris Caffery, as well as shows with former Trans-Siberian Orchestra violinist Mark Wood and his Electrify Your Strings Program.
