As of Saturday 6/1, I have decided to step away from my short-lived position as the drummer for Crossbreed. The reasons as to why are mine alone, so please don’t ask. I’m disappointed that I won’t be doing these upcoming summer shows/festivals, but I need to do what’s right for me. 🖤 With that being said, I’m putting myself back on the “beat market”! 🤣 Billboard charting drummer with pro gear. 28 years of playing experience. 23 years of touring experience (national and international). Credits include Dope, Genitorturers, PIG, Crossbreed, Sw1tched, The Undead, Rikets, and other bands. Founder of Team Cybergeist and The Rock Box Music School & Stage. Artist at DW Drums, PDP Drums, Zildjian Cymbals, Evans Drumheads, Vater Drumsticks, Westone Audio, Skygel Damper Pads, and ODT. I also have a small studio where I can record drum tracks. Advisory: If I decline, please don’t take it personally. I have a family, I own a business, and I have other responsibilities (we all do), so I’m going to be super choosy about who I decide to play with. With that being said, I am readily available for studio session work. See you all soon. 🖤🥁🤘
Sucks for the band, but I get it. Thanks for your contributions over the years. I hope your future is bright and I hope their next drummer is what they need.
@@angelbartolotta outside the OG version, I think you do it the best. Not to take away from all who have been CxB drummers but, you keep the essence alive!!! Keep up the good work, bro🤘🏻☢️🪰☢️🤘🏻
Really enjoyed this video... I was not aware of just how EXTENSIVE your career has been and was most interested in learning about the complexities that have brought you to this point. Wishing you continued success and longevity!
Thanks! Yeah, I’ve been doing this for a while. 🤣 By the time we met, I was only playing with Team Cybergeist and teaching. Then I opened The Rock Box and everything else was put on hold. Getting back into it now, though! 🤘
I really wish I'd caught that Ohio show! I really need CROSSBREED to get to Wisconsin for a date in Milwaukee! Also, was Gen your vocalist for the Milwaukee date for the Carnival of Madness tour in 2011 or 2012? Got to see Team Cybergeist and remember talking fairly extensively with you and Sally, and my then 7-year-old daughter glomped on to you guys hardcore!
Crossbreed is playing Rock Fest in Wisconsin this summer. Also the Inkcarceration festival in Ohio. 🤘 At the one show Team Cybergeist did on the Carnival of Madness tour, Cassandra Calo was singing for us at the time. 🎤 Gen took us out on our first tour. As awesome as she is (and I’ve known her and we’ve been friends since I was 19), she has never collaborated with Team Cybergeist. Live or studio.
@angelbartolotta Thanks for the info! Caddot is 4 and a half miles, one way, versus Milwaukee being 45 minutes in bad traffic. Lol. If I could manage to get up passes and camping for all 3 days, I'd definitely consider.
So are you or Daniel Fox playing the shows coming up? Also (If Possible) can you play Painted Red in a video since it still has yet to be played live yet for whatever reason?? 😈🤘
@@TrashPanda_87 We did “Painted Red” on the tour I did with them in 2006. Not sure if they’ve done it since. Killer song. 🤘 I left the band last month (see my previous comment). They got another drummer after me, but I guess it didn’t work out. Dan stepped in and is doing these summer shows and festivals. Dan is awesome. They’re in good hands. 🤘
@@angelbartolotta For sure man! I follow Dan as well, killer drummer! I was more leaning towards like a drum playthrough of how you played the song like Underlined with your twist. Ive seen one or two videos of it live but its blurry in the vids. 😈😈🤘🤘

Thanks! I’ll keep doing the ol’ razzle-dazzle! 🤘🤣
I just love how this song begins🤘🏻☢️🪰☢️🤘🏻 Thank you bro! That was awesome!!!
Thanks! I play the intro fill pretty differently than the other drummers, but I dig it. 🤘

Love the Back stories as well!!!
Historyyyyyyyyy!!! 🤘
By far the busiest man we know! You've got our vote when you decide to run for office.
🤘 Love the track🤘
No political offices for this guy! 🤣
Can't wait for some new crossbreed. ❤
Same! The stuff I’ve already played on and the demos I’ve heard are all badass. Get ready for some pure awesomeness! 🤘
Nice! We should double drum jam sometime. I'm close In NP, FLA!
🤘🥁🤘
Drum shed!
Definitely remember all the bands you played in. I’m glad you posted this on Facebook. Huge fan! Also night tinjin drop. I’d love to have those tracks
Tinjen had some killer tracks. Sucks we never did any live shows. Still good times though. 🤘
I see my live footage in there! This was a great video, Angel! - Chad G.
Sweet! 🤘 Which clip?
@@angelbartolotta The mosh one. I believe it's the live Saints of Grey from Night to Dismember!
@@APX1138 Badass! 🤘 I just grabbed a bunch of clips from Facebook and UA-cam. Hope that’s okay. 😜
@@angelbartolotta Oh, I love it! It's totally cool.
Hell yeah! Still crossing fingers a west coast tour is in the cards for you guys! Never have been able to see you guys live yet.
I’d love to get back to the west coast. 🤘 It’s been way too long.
I love every band you've been in! Had to have seen you play at least a few times
🤘🖤🤘

Switched, Crossbreed, and Dope have been bands that I've gone back to many times over the years. Been so hyped to get more Crossbreed
Hell yeah! 🤘🖤🤘
Still waiting on that new Team Cybergeist cd to come out..
One day. ☢️
@@angelbartolotta I hope! Been waiting 12 years for it! I still remember that dry erase board in your garage studio.
@@angelbartolotta let me know when I have to start hiding in flower bushes again..
Fuuuuuuuck yeah bro!!!!!!
🤘😝🤘
@@angelbartolotta fucking nailed it!!! I love the intro stories you're doing as well!!! Keep it up. You're such an underrated machine of a drummer.
@@DiZzAzZtErPrOdUcTiOnS Thank you! 🖤

Where the action figures ever released ?
@@Texasmetalmusic No clue. They were painted wrestling toys. I think James sold them on eBay. 🤷♂️

I still pound Team Cyber all the time.
