Ron Gatzen
Drums and Vocals
Drums and Vocals
Ron Gatzen originally from the Netherlands, born to a Dutch mother in a painful manner, because of the pair of Vic Firth 5 A drum sticks he had in his hands. After banging on anything within reach, Ron got his first kit and lessons when he was 8 years old and never looked back. After playing in garage bands in middle school and the Jazz and stage band in High School, and NO he never went to band camp, Ron formed a popular band in Salt Lake City called Transit to Scorpio. The band had some local success playing original music as a power trio, did some recording work, but never realized it's potential and after 5 years came to an end.
Fast forward to the present and you'll find Ron operating a transportation brokerage firm he owns, during the day, and proudly laying down the beat for BooDaddy at night. The biggest kick he gets, is when BooDaddy is playing and the band is on their groove and the audience is smiling and dancing and returning the love back to the 5 guys on stage. Ron enjoys the covers they play that people like to dance to, and gets great satisfaction in helping his gifted fellow musicians, create the original songs that BooDaddy is constantly putting together. Ron also gets a big kick out of his 24 year old son Sean, also a drummer, playing live with BooDaddy and letting Ron get up front and sing with the boys. Not to worry, his passion is the drums, he'll never stray too far from them. Ron wants to give lots of love and credit to his wife Toni, for letting Ron keep his practice kit set up in the middle of the living room so he can work on his chops, and for her smiling and supportive outlook when she's in the audience enjoying what the band has worked hard to produce.
