Anthony also formed a quickie group in Vegas called "Rockweiller". They recorded one song that I know of, "Don't Wanna Shy Away", a very convincing 80s hair metal ballad on which Anthony sang. Don't Wanna Shy Away. Yeah.

If this is the Correct Anthony Parulli I know, He was my Drum Instructor at Durango High School band in Las Vegas, NV
He currently Worked at the Luxor as a Blue Man in the show.
I got a chance to see that show and it was awesome!
but when I was one of his students, I built my own PVC xylophone at home and Used it in a couple of the Drumline Competitions in Las Vegas. When I moved, I left the PVC instrument at the school. And I believe he has it at home.
(He even wanted to buy it from me) Theres some other stories I could tell. If you wanna hear them E-mail me at the address posted

I've known Anthony Parrulli since before he was a "star." Before he graced the big screen in the recent Block Buster hit "Ocean's Eleven." Before he appeared on Wheel-of-Fortune. Before he played in the Scottish Pipe band, in Scotland. Before he was a Jammitor, before Waffle ever played at Gasoline Alley and before Cerburus set foot on a high school battle-of-the-bands contest stage.
I was in the 5th grade, learning percussion, when Anthony appeared with the Safety Harbor Middle School band, playing in front of a sold-out Oldsmar Elementary School crowd. It was there that I say Anthony (we called him "Boner" due to his resemblance to the character from Growing Pains) perform his version of the greatest drum feature in the elementary world of percussion... yes you know what it was... Wipeout! And as I sat in awe, watching the tornado of arms and sticks tear across the kit with reckless abandon, Anthony Parrulli inspired me to pursue my percussion destiny.
He continued to teach and mentor me throughout my percussive career, teaching me that when someone asks if you are good at the drums, tell them "I hold my own" even if you know that you ARE really good. He was the best hide-and-seek player I ever knew, staying hidden for hours upon hours never to be found, sustaining himself on snacks he had prepared the night before. I guess that what I'm saying is that while he was and is a phenomenal percussionist, more importantly, he's honestly a great guy who always there to help his friends. So, come on man, hook a brother up with some tickets to the show or something!
I beefed a bus with him one time.
