==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:
