Biography

Ross Federman joined Tally Hall in 2004 after the band's original drummer, Steve Gallagher, quit. Ross was invited to try out for the band by Joe. 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 Mike, because his talents certainly were enough to get the job.

On the 2006 website, Ross' bio read thusly:

ross, like joe, rob AND zubin is from that same suburban detroit neighborhood that everyone loves so much. He went to school with joe, while zubin and rob went to the OTHER high school. While there, ross was very active in a variety of musical endeavors, including but not limited to band.
