Brian Rosenworcel

Brian Rosenworcel (born July 23, 1973) is the drummer for the band Guster. Brian is different than most drummers in that he plays with his bare hands rather than with drumsticks for most songs. Instruments he hits with his hands include (but are not limited to) bongos, djembes, snare drums, cymbals, and tambourines. Brian is famous in the Guster community not only for his drumming technique, but also for the authorship of the band's Road and Studio Journals, which are available for public view at Guster's website.
