Meet Tony Palermo, the powerhouse drummer driving the beats of the multi-platinum rock band, Papa Roach. With his high-energy performances and precision drumming, Tony has been a vital force in the music industry for years. Behind the iconic hits like “Last Resort” and “Scars,” Tony’s dynamic drumming has helped shape the raw, emotional sound that resonates with millions of fans worldwide.

But when he’s not rocking the stage with Papa Roach, you’ll find Tony channeling that same passion and focus on the golf course. His journey with golf began as a casual escape from the relentless pace of touring, but it quickly grew into a serious pursuit. The meditative and strategic nature of golf offers a perfect counterbalance to the high-octane energy of his drumming career.

“My name is Tony Palermo and I am the drummer for the rock band Papa Roach. Music grabbed a hold of me at an early age and I have now been drumming for 42 years.

The stage is where I’m most in the zone and nothing comes close to the feeling of connecting with a live audience. Another love of mine is for the game of golf, which started about 25 years ago.

Touring has allowed me to play some of the most amazing courses around the world. As I improve my game, the love I have only deepens. I am so committed to this game, and I look forward to playing it for the rest of my life. “
