Forrest Raup started playing the drums at an early age, on his dad's vintage Ludwig kit. After a few years of taking pointers from his father, listening to bands like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and shedding in his parents' garage, he started playing in bands with friends then eventually with professional musicians. After attending the acclaimed Berklee College of Music in Boston, Forrest returned home to Colorado to pursue his truest passion: performing live music. While not playing with the Austin Young Band, he teaches drumming, and plays with Denver-based band, Eldren, as well other local acts.
