Richard Allan Ream (born August 8, 1961), better known by the stage name Rikki Rockett, is an American drummer best known for his work with the glam metal band, Poison. Born in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, Rockett was the younger of two children to Norman and Margaret Ream. He attended Cedar Cliff High School in Camp Hill. Before founding Poison with vocalist Bret Michaels, Rockett worked as a hairdresser, lifeguard, dishwasher, Emergency Medical Technician and a suit salesman.
Rockett was always an integral part of Poisons success. The tattoo photo featured on Poisons 1990 album Flesh and Blood is Rocketts right shoulder. The logo was already done a couple of years prior but he added Flesh and Blood in support of the title. The original album cover still has the blood running from the new tattoo though it was airbrushed out soon after its release.
Rockett and Brian Cocivera joined forces creating custom built drum kits called the Chop Shop Custom Drum Company.
After almost twenty years with Poison, Rockett released his first solo album, Glitter 4 Your Soul on January 7, 2003 which was distributed online. The album was a tribute to 1970s glam rock. He also guested on Britny Foxs Bite Down Hard.
In April 2006, Rockett made a guest appearance on TLCs new Wrecks To Riches auto overhaul series, helping to restore a 1969 Dodge Dart before giving Poisons new version of Were an American Band a spin on the cars amped-up sound system.
On April 26, 2007, Rockett announced the creation of Rockett Drum Works Inc. It is a drum manufacturing company, specializing in the creation of ultra custom drum kits, snare drums and custom accessories. Prior to setting up his enterprise, Rockett worked for Chop Shop Custom Drum. He departed after conflicting opinions with Chop Shop founder Brian Cocivera[1]. Rockett recruited most of the staff from Chop Shop along with some newer staff members.[2]
In conjunction with the 30th anniversary of Star Wars in May 2007, Rockett discussed his lifelong love of the series during an interview with Maul Stanley.[3] Rockett wore a Star Wars patch on his vest in Poisons Fallen Angel music video and he claimed that his favorite character is C-3PO.
On September 19, 2007, Bosphorus Cymbals unveiled the Rockett Ride; a custom ride cymbal in 20 and 22 sizes, designed to Rocketts exact specifications.
In October 2008 Rockett married long time girlfriend Melanie Martel. On July 14, 2009, they had their first child, Jude Aaron Rockett.
