Tom Nelson began his two stick journey at the age of nine when his dad passed down his own drumsticks and has been playing the drums ever since, earning a Masters in Music Education along the way. In addition to a career as a public school music teacher Tom has been an adjunct professor of percussion at Bucknell University and has authored his own Drum method book. Beyond the role of “Mick Fleetwood” in Tusk, Tom actively performs with a variety of musical groups on the side ranging from jazz to rock to classical. In his free time Tom writes and records his own music and enjoys spending time with his family. He is an avid outdoorsman and a faithful follower of Jesus Christ.
