Brad Roberts playes drums in the bizarre outfit known as Gwar. He joined the band in 1989, replacing previous skinsman Rob Mosby after the release of Gwar's 1988 album "Hell-O". As Gwar member Roberts is better known as Jizmak Da Gusha.



Brad Roberts recalls:

"At the age of ten, I wanted to quit playing drums, almost as soon as I had started. It was my mother's encouragement to make me finish what I started, that made the difference and allowed the learning and discipline of playing music a passion for me. I find it odd that I've managed to carve out an enjoyable career as a musician over the past fifteen years performing as a prominent creative member of Gwar."

His career accomplishments as an international performing and recording artist include two Grammy nominations, sixteen MTV videos, eight commercially released long form videos, sixteen commercially released albums, five motion pictures, approximately one thousand live performances, and countless television appearances across the world on various variety and music programs.



Roberts also played with the Dave Brockie eXperience (DBX). DBX's debut album, "Diarrhea Of A Madman" was released on 20 March 2001. The follow-up, "Songs For The Wrong" was released in 2003. It still looks uncertain whether or not they will record more albums.`



Roberts also formed the band No Deal in the winter of 2001 along with guitarist Jeremy Smith (sound engineer/tour manager for GWAR and DBX) and guitarist Micah Binns (Step Child, Before Falling).



2002 saw the re-emergence of two former Gwar members, Zach Blair and drummer Brad Roberts in the Dallas, Texas Pop Rock outfit Armstrong.





Besides Buddy Rich, it were artists like Alex Van Halen, Bill Stevenson, Dave Lombardo, Mikkey Dee, Bill Ward, and Billy Cobham who inspired Roberts when he started playing:

"You name it, I listened to it. I wanted to study everything.

For sure I like Billy Cobham! I think the most important quality a drummer should have is to not just be, “Oh, I’m so great and I can do all this stuff,” but he should play within the context of the song. The drummer’s job is to make that song swing."
