BOOM > Larry Rifkin

Larry Rifkin has been behind a drumkit since the 6th grade. Then, as now, backing up the vocal stylings of Steve Mednick, in a band called THE AVENGERS.

Rifkin continued drumming throughout his life for his personal enjoyment, while pursuing a career in television and radio. For his fiftieth birthday, he assembled many key elements of what has become the band, BOOM.

The performance at Crossroads Cantina in Waterbury on June 8, 2002 set the stage for band's development. Rifkin has recorded with BOOM and on Steve's solo projects. In addition to his unique left-handed, traditional drum styling for the band, he sings and has composed original compositions which the band performs.
