Career
Roberson is known foremost as a versatile drummer with years of musical experience in jazz, rock, Latin, funk, R&B, hip-hop, and gospel. As an internationally endorsed drummer, his career history spans 20 years.
Roberson was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, and is a self-taught drummer. He began playing professionally at the age of 16 with gospel music legend Daryl Coley. Remaining true to his gospel roots, Roberson continues to play at his local church and has recorded with artists such as Demetrius Tolefree, James Jackson and Juanita Wynn just to name a few. Wanting to gain exposure to a wide variety of music at an early age, he started touring with Oakland-based group African Rain and International Drum Master Baba Olatunji. Roberson's interest in jazz, fusion and world music was further developed while playing with Jazz greats such as Robert Stewart (saxophonist), Joe Lucito, Juan Escovito, Ricardo Scales & Lloyd Gregory. Known as an "on demand" drummer, Roberson has played with The Coup, Too Short, The X-ecutioners, and The B.L.A.C.K. Experience. No stranger to funk and R&B, he grooves with Robin Duhe, Dwayne Wiggins, and continues to support local musicians in the Bay Area music scene. Roberson can also "Get Big" when he gets his rock on with San Jose Hard Rock band LoveKraft.
Most recently Roberson has added musical director & producer to his resume, and as result, he has collaborated on a number of television, film, commercial, and video game projects. Roberson can be seen on Comedy Central's "Weekends at the DL" where he performs with the Dwayne Wiggins Band. On any given night Roberson will let loose with some amazing chops and always, a tight groove. If that isn't enough, he is currently on tour with award-winning artist Eric Benet. Roberson recently made a special guest appearance with fellow drummer Mike Johnston on mikeslessons.com, where he taught the 200th lesson.
