'''Gregg Bissonette''' (born June 9, 1959{{citation needed|date=April 2023}}) is an American rock [[drummer]] and vocalist. He is the brother of bassist [[Matt Bissonette (musician)|Matt Bissonette]], with whom he frequently collaborates. Bissonette is known for playing and recording many different styles of music. That experience led to him winning the 2023 ''[[Modern Drummer]]'' readers poll for best "All Around" drummer and also winning their 2015 category of best "Studio" drummer. He has played on albums by dozens of recording artists, including [[David Lee Roth]]'s first three solo albums and has toured as part of [[Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band]] since 2008.
==Career== One of Bissonette's first recordings was on jazz trumpet legend Maynard Ferguson's ''Live from San Francisco'' in 1983. Brother [[Matt Bissonette (musician)|Matt]] was also in the band and on the recording. He later appeared on Brandon Fields' ''The Other Side of the Story'' in 1985. It featured [[David Garfield]] on keyboards. A few years later Bissonette would start playing shows with Fields, Garfield and [[Steve Lukather]] on guitar and with John Peña on bass as Los Lobotomys. These shows took place at the Baked Potato, a jazz club and restaurant in Los Angeles, California, playing rock, Latin, and jazz.
Bissonette got his big break joining former [[Van Halen]] frontman David Lee Roth. The band included guitarist [[Steve Vai]] and future [[Mr. Big (American band)|Mr. Big]] bassist [[Billy Sheehan]]. During 1985–1992 Gregg appeared on all three US [[Billboard 200]] hit albums ''[[Eat 'Em and Smile]]'' (no.4) ''[[Skyscraper (album)|Skyscraper]]'' (no.6) and ''[[A Little Ain't Enough]]'' (no.18)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/david-lee-roth/chart-history/tlp/ |title=David Lee Roth |website=Billboard.com |access-date=2020-04-15}}</ref> and the subsequent world tours.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://greggbissonette.com/bio/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110318190215/http://greggbissonette.com/bio/ |url-status=usurped |archive-date=March 18, 2011 |title=Bio ‹ Gregg Bissonette |website=Greggbissonette.com |access-date=2020-04-15}}</ref>

In late 1995, [[Toto (band)|Toto]] was beginning their ''[[Tambu (Toto album)|Tambu]]'' tour when [[Simon Phillips (drummer)|Simon Phillips]] developed back problems. Phillips asked Bissonette to fill in for him during the tour's first leg.
He played drums on one track on [[Santana (band)|Santana]]'s album ''[[Supernatural (Santana album)|Supernatural]]'' (1999).<ref name="AM credits">{{cite web |title=Supernatural - Santana |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/supernatural-mw0000243930/credits |website=AllMusic |access-date=21 December 2018}}</ref> In 2007, he recorded on the album ''La La Land'' by Daniel Glen Timms.<ref name="danielglentimmsdiscography">{{cite web |url=http://www.danielglentimms.com/albums.html |title=Daniel Glen Timms: Discography |access-date=2013-02-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110709155126/http://www.danielglentimms.com/albums.html |archive-date=2011-07-09 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
In 2001 he was set to play on the [[Electric Light Orchestra]]'s [[Zoom Tour Live]] with his brother Matt on Bass. The tour was cancelled after two televised performances: one at the [[CBS Television City]] on [[PBS]] and one on [[VH1 Storytellers]].
Bissonette started playing double drums with [[Ringo Starr]] in 2003 in his band Ringo and The Roundheads. This band also included his brother Matt Bissonette on bass. Gregg has been a member of Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band since. (2008–present) [[File:Bissonette.png|thumb|Bissonette in 2018]]
After appearing on a 2007 album by Spinal Tap's [[Harry Shearer]], Bissonette became the drummer for the parody heavy metal band [[Spinal Tap (band)|Spinal Tap]] for live dates and on their 2009 album ''[[Back from the Dead (Spinal Tap album)|Back from the Dead]]''. Credited under his own name on the actual album, when Bissonette appeared with the group live (including at the 2009 [[Glastonbury Festival]]), he drummed under the name Scott "Skippy" Scuffleton. In keeping with the band's tradition of their (fictional) drummers dying from bizarre causes, Scuffleton was later said to have sneezed himself to death.
In 2013 Bissonette released his 3rd solo album where he plays drums and sings called ''Warning Will Robinson''. This album also features his brother Matt on bass and backing vocals.
Bissonette played on Steve Lukather's 2021 album, ''I Found the Sun Again''. With eight songs on the album, he played seven songs while Ringo Starr played one.
2021 was the release of The Reddcoats debut album. The album features Gregg and Matt Bissonette on drums and bass with Andy Timmons on guitar, Wally Minko on keyboards and Mike Medina on percussion.
Also in 2021 was the release of the debut album of [[The Red Locusts]], again with Gregg on drums and his brother Matt on bass with Rick Springfield on guitar and vocals.
Bissonette can be heard on a number of rock instrumental and [[progressive rock]] albums, including ''The Extremist'' by [[Joe Satriani]], ''Temporal'' by Shadrane, ''Deep Forest'' by Deep Forest, ''Bass Invader'' by Martin Motnik, ''Inner Galactic Fusion Experience'' by Richie Kotzen, ''Shadow King'' by Steve Fister, ''Revolution Road'' by Rocket Scientists, ''In the Eye of Time'' by Vox Tempus, ''Bug Alley''<ref name="bugalley">{{cite web|url=http://garyhoey.com/discography/bug-alley/|access-date=2013-02-24|title=Gary Hoey: Discography|publisher=GaryHoey.com}}</ref> and the soundtrack to the movie ''The Endless Summer II'' by [[Gary Hoey]].<ref name="endlesssummercredits">{{cite web|url=http://garyhoey.com/discography/the-endless-summer-ii-soundtrack/|title=The Endless Summer II: Credits|publisher=GaryHoey.com|access-date=2013-02-24}}</ref>
In 2012, Bissonette played drums on several tracks featured on Docker's Guild's album ''The Mystic Technocracy: Season 1: The Age of Ignorance'', the progressive rock space opera masterminded by the French-American musician, teacher, and ethno-musicologist [[Douglas R. Docker]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lionmusic.com/cd/mystictechnocracy.htm|title=LION MUSIC - the progressive, neoclassical & hard rock label|website=lionmusic.com|access-date=2017-12-05}}</ref>
