The kit was an old Rogers jazz set that Austin learned his first diddles on.

He looks up to these drummers because of the impact they have had on music and the unique sound they each bring to the artists they play with.

Rob Rodriguez has always had an intimate relationship with music. He lost his musical innocence with the piano in second grade; but after a longtime relationship, he decided he needed a more edgy, wilder instrument. Naturally this led him to the bass guitar, which he has continued to play since the eighth grade. With widespread music taste in everything from The Rocket Summer and Ben Folds, to jazz artists such as Avishai Cohen, and even more abstract music such as The Mars Volta, Rob has become a very versatile musician. When Alton Kelly needed a bass player they new Rob's ability to play multiple genres would add another dimension to the Alton Kelly music. Rob enjoys music as both an art form, as well as an entertainment. His favorite part about Alton Kelly is the delicate balance between structure and improvisation.
