ROCKET is best known as the drummer with PRISM. During his time with the band they released 7 gold and platinum albums, had 21 charted singles, sold out every ice-rink from sea to sea and … won the 1981 JUNO Award for Group of the year.
ROCKET started in 1964 with The legendary SEEDS OF TIME, then the ROCKET NORTON BAND, and PRISM. He has continued to play and perform for 60 years.
At age 69, after almost 55 years in the drum chair, ROCKET went back to the basics and began taking drum lessons. In the few years since then he has focused his newly acquired technical skills to composing 2 separate musical pieces for drums and accompanying music.
He worked with the maestro, Craig Zurba on the music:
Sonatina di Norton Numero Uno
(13 minutes & 4 seconds in length)
Sonatina di Norton Numero Due
(12 minutes & 57 seconds in length)
ROCKET performs the Sonatinas live on drums. He plays to pre-recorded music performed by Craig Zurba.
Every performance to date has earned a standing ovation.
The ROCKET NORTON name and brand is known across the country. ROCKET is a saleable asset to any event – especially any classic rock event.
