Drums - Mario Paoloni

Mario Paoloni a.k.a. "Super Mario", Moses and Liquidrummr.

Worship background: I was the drummer for the worship team at Southside Community Church in So. Sacramento for over 7 years. I still fill in on drums, guitar and bass from time to time. I also play drums in my brother Armand's Christian heavy rock band "Under Fire". I got my start in Christian rock over 25 years ago drumming for Altar Ego, an opening act for Twyla Paris, Charlie Peacock and others.

Instrument(s): Drums- RCI Starlite acrylic drums, Pearl Masters and mapex drums. Guitar- Rickenbacker, Epiphone, Taylor and Fender 6 and 12 string guitars. Bass and vocals (have my own mic's, stands and Shure wireless headset). I am also able to play and sing at the same time.

Styles of worship I can play: Most contemporary, rock, hard rock and traditional hymns. I have over 40 years experience in most styles of music, rock, jazz, country, rockabilly, prog rock, etc.

Personal: For the past several years I have worked with Celebration Concerts, Tolar Sound, AV Vegas, JC Muzk and other organizations setting up and producing Christian concerts, events and festivals (SWC, J Fest, etc) around California.

My brother and I run a stage production crew known as "The Santa Rosa Mafia. We do stage, lighting and sound systems. We have the opportunity to work with many of the top artists in Christian music (Jermy Camp, Chris Tomlin, Amy Grant, Red, SDS, Skillet, Kutless and many others) and have the opportunity to witness to lots of young rockers. I also occasionally play the drums for my brother's band 'Under Fire". His nickname is Gunns and mine is Moses and when we perform together it's billed as "The Return of Gunns and Moses"
