A founding member of the Dixie Dregs, Rod Morgenstein lends raw rhythms to any project he joins. From the heavy-metal band Winger, to the progressive sounds of the Rudess/Morgenstein Project, Rod can easily shift his powerful sound into rock, jazz or blues mode.

Morgenstein has maintained several ties to members of the Dregs. He's played in the Steve Morse Band, and sits alongside T Lavitz in the Grateful Dead tribute group Jazz Is Dead. He is a member of Modern Drummer Magazine's Honor Roll, and a regular columnist to the publication.

Morgenstein has served as an Associate Professor of Percussion at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and produced a series of well-received instructional videos and books.
