Robbie Bachman

Robbie Bachman

Robbie Bachman (born Robin Bachman, 18 February 1953, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) is a drummer and the youngest brother of Canadian guitarist, singer, and songwriter Randy Bachman.

Robbie Bachman was the original drummer for both the Brave Belt and Bachman-Turner Overdrive bands. While growing up, Robbie practiced the drums at home, often playing along with his older brother Randy. When Robbie was age 18, Randy offered him the Brave Belt drumming job, and Robbie accepted. [Gormley, Peter. "BTO (Bachman-Turner Overdrive) Frequently Asked Questions," 7/31/97.]

When Brave Belt decided to change their name they came up with Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO). Robbie Bachman has been credited with designing the BTO "gear" logo. [Rob Bachman interview at XMFan.com]

Bachman today enjoys semi-retirement along with his wife, Chrissy. He is an uncle of Tal Bachman.
