Gary Young

Gary Young (born May 3, 1953 in Mamaroneck, New York) is an alternative rock musician who garnered a degree of notoriety as the original drummer for the band Pavement.

During the band's initial period in 1989, Young, then in his mid thirties, had singer-guitarists Stephen Malkmus and Scott Kannberg record at his in-home Stockton, California studio, "Louder Than You Think". A multi-instrumentalist, Young sat in as their drummer. Within the span of three years, the band released three EPs and an LP; "Slay Tracks (1933-1969)", "Demolition Plot J-7", "Perfect Sound Forever", and their debut album, "Slanted and Enchanted". By 1992, other members were brought in to make Pavement a full-fledged band.
