Keith Carlock

Keith Carlock is a professional drummer currently residing in New York City, NY. Born in 1971, Keith hails from Clinton, Mississippi, near the capitol of Jackson. He has played and toured with such musical luminaries as Sting, Steely Dan, The Blues Brothers Band, Leni Stern, Wayne Krantz, Harry Belafonte, and Grover Washington, Jr. Perhaps the greatest testament to Carlock's mastery of the drums lies in him being the exclusive drummer for every track on Steely Dan's latest CD Everything Must Go (Steely Dan has used multiple drummers on each of the last several albums they've released over the past three decades, presumably because Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, with a reputation for relentless perfection in the studio, wanted a "specialist" drummer for each different groove required for a given song). While in the Jazz Studies program at The University of North Texas, Keith studied with many teachers including Ed Soph. Keith is also the long time boyfriend of Ruff Ryders/Ruff Pop pop/rock singer/songwriter Lynne Timmes. In October of 2009 he released an instructional DVD called "Keith Carlock: The Big Picture".
