American drummer

Scott Rockenfield (born June 15, 1963), also known as SRock, is an American drummer and composer. He is best known as the drummer for the progressive metal band Queensrÿche, which he co founded in 1982, and the hard rock band Slave to the System.

Rockenfield was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. That Christmas, his parents got him a cheap drum kit. he took special interest in music and film. Guitarist Kelly Gray, who would be a guitarist in Queensrÿche between 1998 and 2002 and with whom Rockenfield played in Slave to the System, went to the same high school and graduated in the same year as Rockenfield. They covered songs from popular heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Rockenfield and Paul Speer wrote and recorded an instrumental progressive rock album in 2000 entitled Hells Canyon, which is inspired by places and events in the Idaho region of Hells Canyon. The album received good reviews. In 2001, Rockenfield collaborated with former Queensrÿche guitarist Kelly Gray and the Brother Cane members Damon Johnson and Roman Glick in a hard rock project named Slave to the System, releasing one eponymous album. Their album was re released in 2006 on Spitfire Records. In 2017 Rockenfield took a hiatus from Queensrÿche which was originally supposed to last for a few months but then prolonged indefinitely. Former singer Geoff Tate later expressed concern for Rockenfield, suggesting that he was in a difficult life situation and current singer Todd La Torre suggested it was unlikely Rockenfield would ever return to the band. A November 2023 court filing in Snohomish County Superior Court in the state of Washington, cites the parties agreeing that "all claims, counterclaims, and crossclaims between" Rockenfield on one side, as the plaintiff, and Wilton and Jackson on the other side, as the defendants, should be dismissed "with prejudice," with Rockenfield and his former bandmates "to bear their own costs and fees with regard to all such claims, counterclaims, and cross claims. ".

Out of all the members of Queensrÿche, Rockenfield is the most active musically outside of the band Queensrÿche. In 1997, Rockenfield and Speer created a music and video work named "TeleVoid", for which they received a Grammy nomination in the "Best Longform Video" category. In 2013 he scored the trailer to the films After Earth and he will be scoring the trailer for the 2014 remake of RoboCop. They have three children. His hobbies include photography.
