Rock Star Drummer, Mark Schulman has performed with musical greats including Velvet Revolver, Pink and Cher and when 'not on the road', facilitates empowering drumming workshops world-wide. A cancer survivor, is an inspiring and motivational individual who shares his insights through his Drumonstrations: Philosophy with action creating powerful unity!

Born and raised in L.A., Mark Schulman became interested in pursuing music as a mere toddler. At age 3, he witnessed the phenomenon of Beatlemania: "…I remember seeing The Beatles on television with my brother and my folks. I saw Ringo playing the drums and something resonated so deeply with me. Then I saw all the screaming girls, and at that moment, I thought to myself, 'I want THAT!"

Mark has parlayed that desire into a major career. Schulman is a first call drummer for world class rock, pop and jazz artists.  Most recently, Mark finished one of the most successful tours of the last decade in 2006/2007 for Grammy-Award winner P!NK on her ‘I’m Not Dead’ tour, playing 190+ dates in North America, Europe and Australia, Africa and the Middle East including appearances on local television and several international MTV award shows. 

Mark’s resume reads like a "Who's Who" of international Rock n' Roll royalty including acts such as SHERYL CROW, FOREIGNER, STEVIE NICKS, DESTINY'S CHILD, BILLY IDOL, CHER (Mark was drummer on the ‘Believe’ and ‘Farewell’ tours, two of the most-attended tours in music history)

He has drummed with VELVET REVOLVER at Ozzfest and for crowds of 200,000 at Glastonbury Festival with SIMPLE MINDS.  Mark is the recipient of numerous Gold and Platinum discs and has appeared on nearly every American and European variety show on television including David Letterman, Jay Leno, Paul O’ Grady, Wetten Das and more.

Schulman is a classically trained cellist and as a teen, played with the Los Angeles Junior Philharmonic.  He is also a trained audio engineer and an active educator having taught at the LOS ANGELES MUSIC ACADEMY and as one of the World’s most sought after drum clinicians hosting clinics in countries around the world. 

Music is not Mark's only driving force; he is the chairman of the board of directors of Create Now!, a non-profit organization founded in 1996, to help change troubled children's lives through creative arts mentoring.  A cancer survivor himself, Mark has also motivated children through his work doing seminars with the RONALD McDONALD HOUSE.
