Who was Adam Ferraioli?
Adam Ferraioli, an experienced drummer with an unwavering love for Led Zeppelin’s music, dedicated his musical journey to bringing the iconic sound of “The Mighty Zep” to life on the grand concert stage.
Not just an impersonator, but a genuine fan, Adam co-founded Get The Led Out, a collective of skilled musicians who shared his mission to honor one of the greatest rock bands in history.
While there were other drummers who inspired him, such as Jerry Shirley (Humble Pie), Keith Moon (The Who), and Clive Bunker (Jethro Tull), none had the same impact on Adam as Bonham’s playing did. “Although he was technically brilliant, it was his feel that truly captivated me. It was beyond measure!”
Throughout the years, Adam has been a part of various Philadelphia-based bands, including “Britney Fox,” “Tangier,” and his first cover band, “Thrust,” which performed a Zeppelin set every night.
“We were quite impressive back then. Rob, our singer in Thrust, did an outstanding job channeling Plant! Many bands attempted to play Zeppelin during that time, but most of them lacked the vocal prowess to do it justice! I remember stepping off the stage back then and collapsing after playing a set of Zep.
We poured our hearts into it! That’s what convinced me to join GTLO. Their passion for music and delivering the best performance possible is unparalleled!”
Adam and guitarist Jimmy Marchiano had a sporadic musical partnership that lasted for a decade.
When Jimmy and Paul Hammond first played together, they immediately sensed a special connection. Adam vividly remembers the moment they all rehearsed together, as it felt like being part of a close-knit family. The harmonious tones and overall vibe were just right.
The arrival of Andrew Lipke, who contributed on keyboards, guitar, and vocals, among other things, was the perfect addition to the group. According to Adam, Andrew was not only an incredible person but also an exceptional musician.
He brought the final touch that the band needed to faithfully recreate the music of Led Zeppelin.
Adam couldn’t envision himself playing with any other band, as for him, there was no other band that could compare to Led Zeppelin.
