Russ Maddox, with his One-Man Band, is Birmingham, Alabama's most unique and versatile performer. He covers a wide variety of hits, including current rock, classic rock, pop, dance, and country. 

After performing in bands as a drummer and singer for many years, Russ Maddox decided it was time to offer something entirely different. That's when he decided to incorporate a new instrument into the show and step to the front of the stage as the lead singer.  

The new instrument Russ plays is called The Zendrum. The Zendrum is in the electronic drum family. But rather than pads played with sticks in a traditional set-up, the triggers are mounted on a guitar-like set-up and played with the fingers. In addition to the traditional drum sounds, other parts of the music can be triggered as well. So his solo performance can provide the same full band sound and recreation of music that would normally require a large band. 

"I want to offer a full band sound in venues that normally could not accommodate a band. Additionally, I can play private functions like wedding receptions and corporate parties and offer the full sound and personality of a band." says Russ of his new venture.
