MEET THE TROUPE

Alex “Alexander the Grateful” Speredelozzi is an intellectual at heart and connoisseur of fine foods, Alex does not limit himself to any particular style of drum. While he currently plays snare, he is experienced on the bass and can often be heard playing his full drum kit in his spare time. And holy hell, can this man dance!

Allie “AllieLoop” Boyer is a pied piper, gathering kids and kids at heart into her hooping circle. She believes the hoop is a circle that symbolizes inclusivity, wholeness and endless possibilities. Her smile is infectious and mirrored in the gaggle of little ones that follow her every move at each performance.

​

Devon "Crushee" Carreira is the Troupe's youngest member and the cutest by far. Barely bigger than his bass drum, Devon smashes every gig he plays. Given that Bonecrusher is his mom, it's kind of inevitable that he's a natural.

​

​

Demetrios "Cymba" Metoharakis is beyond...just beyond. He glides into gigs on his bicycle and so begins his performance, making noise on any and all surfaces available.

Duncan "El Dunco" MacDougall might just be the happiest drummer in the Troupe. Whether he is leading the bass line or banging on his water drum, El Dunco is sure to be smiling.

Kayla “Fife” St. George credits “Hamilton the Musical” for her obsession with drumming, but these days, it's the Troupe’s rendition of Pitbull’s “Fireball” that gets her juices flowing. A welcome addition to the bass drummers, Fife’s career as a zookeeper has prepared her well for life in the Troupe.

​

In addition to his proficiency in all things “flow,” Chad “FlowChad” Anctil is a certified fire performer, best-selling author and puppeteer. Despite having the best hair in the Troupe, FlowChad is most recognizable when he is underneath his giant puppet creation, “Gumdrop.”

If there is something weird and wonderful going on, there is a good chance Jeff "Rev" O'Neill is part of it. From hosting Zombie Night, burlesque shows, emcee'ing roller derby, and variety shows to officiating over 200 RI weddings, he can be found almost anywhere the strange, beautiful and artistic meet to spread love in all its artistic ways.

Mary "Rose Noir" Langlois is a sight to behold...but you'll have to look up to see her. Mary spends a lot of her Troupe time more than 10 feet in the air playing her bass drum while on stilts. This is nothing new for this aerial arts flyer who is an accomplished dancer and yoga teacher. ​

​

Alexandra "Sasha" Chilikina seemingly floats above the ground as she dances her way around a PDT performance. Belly dancing since 2009, Sasha has got moves! With hips that don't quit, her energy, style and appeal cannot be beat.

​​​

​

Greg "Scred" Bass is never hard to spot whether he is dressed as Evil Kneivel or silver and glittering from head to toe. Scred tends to ignore the "black" in "black and bling" while leaning heavily into the "bling." His easy smile and drumming talent make him a perfect fit for PDT.

​

Thomas "Thunder" Ferreira is a drum prodigy who has been accepted into Berklee School of Music despite being only 16 years old. With his curly mohawk and crazy alien sunglasses, Thomas has already found his "look" for when he hits the big time.
