Rey Washam (born Reynolds Washam, March 14, 1961, in Austin, Texas) is a Grammy [2] nominated drummer who has been performing for more than 35 years. He has collaborated with many bands, the most notable of which include: Scratch Acid,[3] Rapeman, Ministry,[4] the Big Boys, Helios Creed, the Didjits,[5] Lard, and Tad and Butthole Surfers offshoot Daddy Longhead. When Jason Schwartzman of Phantom Planet left that band, Washam was hired to fill in on drums for a tour which never materialized. Washam also played jazz with a band, Euripides Pants,[6] that recorded an unreleased album.
