Morris Palter is one of the best drummers in the world. His contemporary/classical chamber and solo percussion music are top-notch, and he also plays novelty ragtime xylophone and drum kit quite well. He’s also a very talented composer and university professor who was a founding member of the band Treble Charger.

Treble Charger was originally an indie rock group until its 1997 album Maybe It’s Me, which was the band’s transition to pop-punk. In 2001, Wide Awake Bored was their first official bubblegum pop-punk album.
