Drummer for Tammy Faye, Beautiful, Hairspray, The Rocky Horror Show, Footloose and many others!
Tammy Faye is a biographic stage musical with music by Elton John, lyrics by Jake Shears and a book by James Graham, based on the life of Tammy Faye Messner.
Clint de Ganon, from Hastings-on-Hudson, NY, started drum lessons at 6 years old. Before leaving high school, he'd studied with Sonny Igoe, been tutored by Mel Lewis, played for Buddy Rich, and was presented with drumsticks from Gene Krupa himself. His fate was sealed early on. Clint went on to college for classical training with the timpanist and percussionist of the NY Philaharmonic.
To date, Clint's played on over 1,000 recording sessions and over 75 tours.
For 7 years, Clint played drums with Hiram Bullock's band, a power trio that featured the singing and playing of Hiram, Clint and legendary bassist Will Lee. The band made 5 recordings, and toured no less than 25 times. Recently Clint joined guitarist John Tropea's band, which features another legendary bassist, Anthony Jackson. On Tropea's lastest recording, "Standard Influence 2," Clint shares the drum chair with Steve Gadd.
Some of the other the artists Clint's toured and/or recorded with are The Blues Brothers Band, Bob James, Tom Scott, Michael Franks, Special EFX, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Chuck Loeb, Curtis Stigers, Art Garfunkel, Billy Preston, Warren Bernhardt, Mark Cohn, The New York Voices, Mitch Forman, Cornell Dupree, Cissy Houston, Edgar Winter, and Linda Eder.
On television, Clint's appeared with the Saturday Night Live Band, and has performed with various artists on David Letterman, MTV, Bravo, Good Morning America, & The Today Show.
Clint created the drum books for several Broadway shows, including the Grammy Award winning "Hairspray."
