Torrance Heather Castellanofact|date=March 2008 (born January 8, 1979, in San Francisco, California [imdb name|id=0144716|name=Torry Castellano] ) is the drummer of The Donnas. Her birthday is the same as bandmate Maya Ford month, day, and year. She is the cousin of actress Laura San Giacomo.

Early in her childhood, she moved to Palo Alto, California, where she met her bandmates. She was asked to be part of the band by Allison Robertson, and agreed even though she did not have any experience. The band rehearsed everyday in her garage.

She used to date Tre Cool, the drummer of Green Day, and she has made several appearances as herself in episodes of the "I Love the…" series on VH1.

Before the release of The Donnas' album "Gold Medal", Torry developed tendinitis. On October 2003, she had surgery for it. During her recovery, she had to take drum lessons to re-learn to hold drum sticks the correct way. For "Gold Medal", she recorded with her recovering wrists, but could only play for short periods of time.

Torry is on the Artist Roster for Pearl Drums and uses Vic Firth American Custom SD2 drumsticks.
