Blue Max drummers
The Blue Max band has been around since 1982, and since we play in so many different parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota we often times need to play with different drummers. We feel pretty lucky to be making music with such a talented group.
Bron Allison Westland III aka Bronson A. Drummer (1953-1999); original Blue Max drummer.

Few people get to experience a friendship such as ours. We are proud to have called Bronson our brother.
Tom Ouimette, a powerful drummer from Chippewa Falls. Tom was our main local drummer from 2001 to 2007. You can find him playing with the local rock band Phoenix these days. Rock on Tom!
Mike "The Hammer" Johnson is our southern Minnesota drummer for the past few years.
If your passing through southern Minnesota be sure to catch the "Hammer and Clay in the Morning" show on The Buzzard 105.5 FM.
Bill Weiss aka "Wild Bill" is a neighbor of ours that plays with us occasionally when he's not gigging with the D-Boys Band out of Menomonie, WI.
Kim Slye is from Green Bay, WI. Kim plays with us mostly in the eastern and sometimes north central parts of Wisconsin.
Kim has played with The Wails, The Grass Roots and Dr. Hook.
Jason Introwitz is a neighbor of ours that also fills in occasionally. Jason can be found playing in Mojo Terry and the Boilermakers, Thick Shoe and the Catfish Walker Band.
Terry Nirva is the last Wednesday of the month drummer at the Blues Jam at Nighthawk's Tap Room in La Crosse, WI. Terry also plays with Bill Miller.
Clyde Stubblefield and Howard met at jams in LaCrosse and Madison in 1986. In 1995, Howard and Deb toured Austria with Clyde and recorded their CD, "Live in Gleisdorf, Austria".
Clyde is famous for playing drums with James Brown in the late 60's.
Tom Swearingen aka "Skin Tite", plays with us occasionally in northern Wisconsin. Howard met Tom in 1973, and later they played together in the Mickey Larson Band. Tom also played with Luther Allison and James Solberg. Currently he is playing with the Deep Water Reunion Band.
Tom Hagedorn aka "Cousin Tommy" played with us from 1994 through 2000. Tom also played with Howard years earlier in the Nels Tiller Band in the late 70's.
