thumbnail Kyle Woodring (February 27, 1967 – September 8, 2009) was a studio and concert drummer living in the Chicago, Illinois area. Born and raised in Mason, Michigan. He began playing drums at the age of four, and studied percussion privately for ten years before enrolling in the School of Music at MSU after graduating from high school. ==Career== After college, Woodring moved to Chicago, Illinois with musicians Jan James and Craig Calvert as the percussive force behind the blues/rock band Jewel Fetish. While recording with the band, Kyle was introduced to a number of Chicago area musicians and producers who helped him establish a base in the competitive Chicago music scene. In 1989, Kyle began a stint as the drummer for the Chicago rock band Survivor. He recorded the video ''Didn't Know it Was Love'' from the album Too Hot to Sleep with the band in 1988, which was featured on MTV. Kyle also recorded a track for the band's "Best of" recording in 1988. Woodring performed briefly with John Mellencamp in 1996, a project which led him to begin touring and recording for the next eight years with country music star Deana Carter. In addition to Carter, Woodring began performing with Dennis DeYoung, the founder and former front man for the band Styx. From 2000-2009, Woodring was the drummer for DeYoung, who plays concerts with both a five-piece band and, at times, a symphony orchestra. Woodring was featured in the Soundstage production of Deyoung's music, released in 2002. In 2007, Deyoung released a new CD in Quebec, Canada entitled ''One Hundred Years from Now''. The title song went to the #1 spot in the Quebec charts during the summer of 2007. In January 2008, Woodring completed the recording of two additional tracks for the American release of the CD, scheduled for the summer of 2008. In October 2007, Woodring began a stint as the drummer for the Chicago production of the hit musical Jersey Boys.
