Kenny Aronoff (born March 7, 1953) is an American drummer who is a noted session musician and has played with a wide array of rock bands.
After graduating from Indiana University in 1976, Aronoff passed on several symphony orchestra offers and decided to head for the East Coast where he studied drum set in Boston and New York. During this time he began to concentrate on jazz and fusion music, and in 1977 he returned to Bloomington, Indiana and spent several years in a popular local band, playing throughout the Midwest. In 1980 he joined John Mellencamp's band, recording 10 albums and touring with him over a 17-year period.
Aside from his work with Mellencamp, he is probably well-known for his work with John Fogerty, but has also played with other musicians such as Melissa Etheridge, Jon Bon Jovi, Michelle Branch, Joe Cocker, Trey Anastasio, Richard Thompson, Meat Loaf, Willie Nelson, The Rolling Stones, Alanis Morissette, Bob Seger, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Waylon Jennings, Bonnie Raitt, Mick Jagger, Alice Cooper, Belinda Carlisle, Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Tony Iommi, and alternative rock group The Smashing Pumpkins for one tour.
In the mid-80's, Kenny began to develop an enormously successful career as a studio musician, playing on hundreds of records with renowned artists. Kenny has also performed live and toured worldwide with many artists.
