Peter Erskine is best known for
his versatility and ardent love of working in various musical settings.
He began his career at the age of 18 with the Stan Kenton Orchestra and
has since played with such groups as Weather Report, Steps Ahead,
Maynard Ferguson, Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan and the Yellowjackets, not
to mention recording over 400 albums. He has also won numerous awards
for his work, including a Grammy, the Modern Drummer Readers Poll, and
an Honorary Doctor of Music Degree from the Berklee School of Music.

Peter Erskine recently celebrated
his 50th birthday by playing the drums on Diana Krall’s latest album
(“The Girl in the Other Room”) and world tour. Peter continues to
present clinics whenever his schedule allows, and keeps busy in the
recording studio when he’s home. Recent projects include new albums by
Al Jarreau, Hugh Jackman, Queen Latifah and pianist Bill Dobbins (on
Erskine’s FUZZY MUSIC label), and playing on the film scores for “13
Going on 30″ and “New York Minute.”

In 2003 Zildjian, in collaboration
with Peter, introduced the K Custom Left Side Ride. Conceived to be the
Jazz Drummer’s all-important “2nd” Ride, Peter explained how the idea
for the Left Side Ride came about:

“I asked Zildjian to create a
cymbal that could complement my Ride and Crash choices, a cymbal that
would add a new dimension to my music, with warmth, clarity and variety
but still with a unique sound: in short, a cymbal that could be my main
Ride cymbal’s “best friend”; and this is how the Left Side Ride was
born”
