Bob Weiner has toured and performed with Harry Belafonte, Itzhak Perlman, Betty Buckley, Jon Lucien, Dianne Reeves, Andy Statman, Rebecca Paris, Kenny Werner, Gabrielle Roth, Bob Moses and Tiny Tim. He is also the co-author of "Afro-Cuban Rhythms for Drumset" with Frank Malabe and "Brazilian Rhythms for Drumset" with Duduka da Donseca, both books of which share his knowledge of unique musical prospects.
