Thought I heard Steven Ferrone say he's been Toms drummer for a number of years now, enjoyed having a steady gig.

Yes Steve Ferrone has been Tom's drummer for the past 23 years.

Ferrone met guitarist Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers when the two played a show with George Harrison as part of his Hara and the Hijack band at Royal Albert Hall. He became the band's full-time drummer after the firing of original drummer Stan Lynch in late 1994. Ferrone's first album with the band was Tom Petty's second solo outing Wildflowers, released that same year. His first live appearance as a member of the Heartbreakers in Louisville, Kentucky, on February 28, 1995.

One of my favorite rockers..R.I.P.

Some of my favorite songs by him were this one he did after the L.A. Riots of 1992.



He also did one of the best early MTV videos/songs.



You Got Lucky, The first video and song I ever heard from him. It is my favorite song of his. Cool video. Rest in Paradise Tom!
