Biography

Ross Federman started drumming from a fairly early age, and was friends with Tally Hall member Joe Hawley at Lahser High School. Ross was also a member of the school's marching band, and later at the University of Michigan he would play drums for many bands on campus.[1]

He joined Tally Hall in 2004 after the band's original drummer Steve Gallagher quit in May of 2004. Ross was invited to try out for the band by Joe after remembering a time him and Ross met years back. Ross recalls another very good drummer by the name of Mike Swain also trying out at the same time and assumed there must not have been quite as good a personality mesh with Swain, because his talents were enough to get the job.

Ross was an undergrad, studying science, but put his studies on hiatus to play and tour with Tally Hall. Ross later went back to finish the degree that he started.[2]

Though primarily the drummer for Tally Hall, Ross sang the lead vocals for Mucka Blucka, and also sang for their live cover of Everyday by Buddy Holly.[3][4] He also contributed his voice as the rapid-fire auctioneer in The Bidding.[5]

In Tally Hall's Internet Show Ross is the shark that can be seen drumming in various locales.[3]

Ross moved to Brooklyn in 2008, where he discovered a love for DJ'ing and composing song mash-ups. He DJs under the name of Mr. F.

Between the years of 2013 and 2017, Ross has had 7 published scientific papers[6][7]

In 2016, Ross furthered his studies by studying for a Ph.D. in Immunology at the Yale School of Medicine[2][8]

In 2011 Ross co-produced 'The Good Company EP' by Shane Maux. According to the bandcamp page for the EP, Shane describes it as: "a collection of songs I made after Ross Federman (from the band Tally Hall) asked me if i wanted to rap over some beats he made." [12] Shane Maux later contributed vocals to ミラクルミュージカル's track Labyrinth from the album Hawaii: Part II[13]

Ross recorded, produced, and mixed The Carrels' self-titled EP, as well as playing a number of instruments for the recording. The Carrels EP was released June 19th, 2011[14][15]
