Larry Cox (January 10, 1961) is an American drummer and voice actor. His dual-profession career has spanned four decades. His drumming career began in 1985, while his concurrent career as a voice actor began in 1999.
Career
editHis first professional work was in 1985 with the Buffalo, NY rock band Looker, which recorded one album and toured the USA with Cheap Trick, Steppenwolf and Kenny Loggins.[1]
In 1986 Cox relocated to Los Angeles, CA where he played in a succession of recording and performing bands through 1991, while also doing session work. Notable artists he recorded with included singer Johnny Edwards (Montrose, King Kobra, Foreigner), singer Jeff Scott Soto (Yngwie Malmsteen, Journey, Soul Sirkus, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Sons of Apollo) and RCA recording band Joshua, featuring singers Rob Rock (Impellitteri, M.A.R.S., Tobias Sammet, Axel Rudi Pell and Warrior), Robyn Kyle Basauri (Die Happy) and guitarist Joshua Perahia.[2]
From 1991 forward he spent the majority of his career behind the scenes as a session drummer with a resume that spans television and radio commercials, video game soundtracks, recording artist demos for record labels, TV show and movie soundtracks, and many other drummer-for-hire projects.[3]
Cox started doing voice acting in 1999 as a result of his connections within the recording industry and has done thousands of voiceovers to date, most notably voicing commercials for Ridgid Tools, Guitar Center and Michael's Stores.[4]
Since retiring from full-time work in 2015 Cox is still involved with select drumming and voice projects, but has focused mainly on drum clinics, motivational speaking and education through his website.[5]
In recent years he has also recorded with two of his own ongoing bands, Deaf Symphony and Kick Tommy, which have released a combined four albums, which he produced and co-wrote.[6]
Social Engagement
editCox is an active drum clinician, motivational speaker and educator.[7]
Entrepreneurial Endeavors
editIn 2008 Cox released the instructional programs Do-It-Yourself Drums and DIY Road Cases (originally Do-It-Yourself Road Cases), which debuted at the 2008 Winter NAMM Show.[8] The DIY Road Cases product line went on to feature not only an entire educational suite, but a full selection of parts and materials for building road cases.[9]
In 2010 he created and opened the restaurant Crepe Expectations in Las Vegas, NV with his wife.[10] On July 17, 2015 the restaurant was featured on the television show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Season 23, Episode 1, "A Bowlful of Soul."[11] The restaurant is still a top-rated dining destination in Las Vegas.[12]
In 2023 Cox launched the Larry Cox Rocks website, which is dedicated to helping aspiring drummers and voice actors. The site hosts a wide variety of instructional media, tutorials, guidance material and personal coaching options, as well as several podcasts covering different subject areas.[13]
