Drummer Cliff "Rigg" Ross (New York, 1979) used to play in Hatebreed, Self Decay, Skarhead and Merauder.



Nowadays he plays drums in Rag Men, the New York-based band featuring frontman Jorge Rosado (Merauder, God Is I), guitarist Mitts (Skarhead, Crown of Thornz) and bassist Ian "Bulldog" Edwards (Freya, ex-Earth Crisis).



Rag Men's self-titled debut album was released in January 2004 through Eulogy Records (Gangstyle Records in Europe).



Rigg Ross is also part of hardcore legends Madball. The drummer joined Madball to record their 2004 EP "NYHC" and the 2005 album "Legacy".



Rigg never received lessons but is fully autodidact. When Rigg Ross started playing drum it were John Bonham, Igor Cavalera and Dave Lombardo who delivered musical inspiration. Nowadays Rigg names Kenny Schaulk and Paulie (No Neck) Antignani as musical heroes.
