When original drummer Casey Jones left California based hard core band Ignite in 1997 while on tour, it was Craig Anderson who took over his place.



Craig Anderson was also touring drummer in Engine, and has played with Seven Witches. Anderson is currently playing drums in Crescent Shield, the "high-energy power/traditional metal" band featuring the talents of vocalist Michael Grant (Onward), guitarist Dan Delucie (Destiny's End), and bassist Melanie Sisneros (Sinergy, The Iron Maidens and New Eden). Craig Anderson joined the band in 2003, replacing a drum machine.
