Paul Goldberg

Paul Goldberg (born 25 April 1959) is an American jazz/rock/R&B drummer.

Goldberg was born in Bethesda, Maryland. At age seven, relocated to Atlantic City, New Jersey. Graduated from Atlantic City High School (where he played lead snare drum in that school's marching band's drum line). He studied music at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, graduating with a Bachelor of Music degree in "drums and percussion." Goldberg also studied drumset privately with Kenwood Dennard, and Gerry Brown. He went on to perform in casino shows in Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and Lake Tahoe, before moving to Los Angeles, California. This excerpt was quoted in a 2005 article on Goldberg, (part of a Modern Drummer Magazine feature entitled "On the Move"). It read:quote|"However, Paul's impressive performance and recording credits are not what make him a perfect fit for this column. In addition to his successes as a sideman, and as a top LA studio musician, Paul is currently forging new ground as a producer and bandleader with the release of his solo discs. The albums feature Paul and other prominent LA musicians on selections of jazz & fusion classics".

Goldberg now works as an independent studio and touring drummer, including work in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" (Band leader/Hawaiian bar scene), "American Carole", "The Last Samurai", "Along Came Polly", and "Rumor Has It" (were on camera appearances), "Poseidon" (Soundtrack, featuring Fergie from The Black Eyed Peas on vocals), "" (Soundtrack, featuring Eddie Murphy on vocals), "Rush Hour II" (soundtrack), "American Dreams" (theme soundtrack), "HOUSE"(soundtrack, and appearance), "Starter Wife"(soundtrack),"The Drew Carey Show" (on camera, and recording), "Boston Legal" (featuring Carl Reiner on vocals), "Desperate Housewives" (in Zach's Band), "Eli Stone" (new Disney pilot), "Cavemen" (new Disney pilot), "Girlfriends" (soundtrack), "Less than Perfect" starring Eric Roberts (Band leader/Marching Band), "American Pie (prom scene)", "Taurus World Stunt Awards Show" (Televised "Featured Drum/Percussion squad"), "VH1's Vinyl Justice", and "Good Morning America" (Paul's Philly band / recorded TV performance) to name a few.

Goldberg has featured in articles in "Modern Drummer" magazine, entitled "The Drummers of Atlantic City", "On the Move", and "News Updates". He also transcribed "The Terry Bozzio Solos" in that magazine's "Best Of / Treasury issue", and the founder / editor Ron Spagnardi said in print ("Great Bozzio transcriptions from the pen of Paul Goldberg"). Paul has also been featured in several reviews in "LA Jazz Scene", and LA's "Music Connection Magazine". Here is an excerpt from Bob Comden's January 2005 article of Paul's CD release party from The LA Jazz Scene: quote|"I have known Goldberg for many years, and have been a fan of his marvelous drumming. I happened to be sitting next to Les McCann, who seemed to really be enjoying the band. Goldberg had a first rate quartet, and he kicked the band with his powerful drumming, and kept a strong rhythmic groove throughout. The crowd loved it! I enjoyed the groups' energy, spirit, & musicianship. They did a great job covering many different styles, doing them all well. I really enjoyed their outstanding performance."

Goldberg teaches drumming selectively in Los Angeles, and also studies "musical drumming concepts" with friend, mentor, and drum Guru Freddie Gruber.
