Welcome to Drummer Steve Pemberton's Official Website

REVIEWS: Palm Beach Daily News: "A Benny Goodman medley... gave the audience an opportunity to enjoy a great, exhilarating drum solo by Steve Pemberton. Gene Krupa himself would have surely enjoyed his display of rhythmic mastery." - Nicole Rattinger (February 23, 1999)


LA Jazz Scene: "Pemberton urged the band on with his powerful, swinging drumming, while getting in a strong solo on this tune."  They also said, "and once again, Pemberton pushed the band with an exciting force." - Bob Comden (February, 2006)
