Carmine Appice (born December 15 1946) is an American rock drummer best known for his associations with Vanilla Fudge, Cactus and Beck, Bogert & Appice. Appice is known for his showmanship which includes stick tosses and twirls. Appice was the first rock drummer to conduct "Drum clinics" held at college campuses, theaters and drum stores. He is also credited with influencing drummers like John Bonham, Ian Paice, Tommy Lee and scores of others through his drumming book "Realistic Rock".

He was born in Brooklyn, New York and is of Italian ancestry. He is brother to Vinny Appice, who also plays drums professionally with Heaven and Hell, Dio, and Black Sabbath. Carmine was influenced by the jazz drumming of Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa and had a classical music training.
Appice first came to prominence as the percussionist with the late 1960s psychedelic band Vanilla Fudge. Appice contributed distinctive background harmonies with the bassist Tim Bogert, adding to the group's high decibel sonic assault. After five albums, Appice and Bogert left Vanilla Fudge[1] to form the blues rock quartet Cactus[2], with vocalist Rusty Day and guitarist Jim McCarty. Appice then left Cactus, with Bogert to join Jeff Beck in the power trio Beck, Bogert & Appice[3]. Appice joined Rod Stewart's backing band in 1977 , co-writing songs such as "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" and "Young Turks," and played drums on Paul Stanley's first solo album in 1978. He was a member of KGB, featuring Ray Kennedy, Rick Grech, Mike Bloomfield also Barry Goldberg, and has recorded with Stanley Clarke, Ted Nugent and Pink Floyd. He has also played with King Kobra and Blue Murder with John Sykes. He appeared on the Ozzy Osbourne music video which promoted "Bark at the Moon", and played drums on part of the tour for the album with Osbourne. During 2000 he was reunited once again, with Vanilla Fudge. His Guitar Zeus albums that he produced featured some of the greatest rock guitarists in the world. As a producer, Carmine produced performances of guitar gods Brian May, Ted Nugent, Richie Sambora, Yngwie Malmsteen, and many more. These albums were some of Carmine's best works as far as drum tracks and song writing and production.
His new drum show SLAMM is a high energy theatrical percussion experience which has been described as "STOMP on steroids". After doing a video for ESPN for NASCAR and many shows in 2008 SLAMM came in at #2 in the DRUM magazine poll for drum shows right behind BLUE MAN GROUP. SLAMM also appears on the Modern Drummer festival DVD after a surprise appearance at the magazine's 2008 drum festival. SLAMM received a standing ovation.. This is a show to see... His girlfriend is Leslie Gold "The Radiochick", a popular NYC radio talk show host.
