| Drummer Seth Ceders began his musical career playing with Hip Hop and Heavy Metal bands in Southern NH, in the late nineties. Well traveled as a youth, he had experienced much of the different environments of America, and with that instinctual rhythmic ability, Ceders was soon to become a huge force in the regional scene. After a short hiatus, Seth became the founding drummer of the five piece funk/rock outfit Dr. Sloptapus. Seth also sang some leads and backup vocals for the group, which was membered by members of the larger funk conglomerate Sweet Motha’ Child led by future Pfunk member Danny Bedrosian. Danny was also in Sloptapus, and upon the demise of SMC’s third drummer Dave Smith, Seth Ceders was given the daunting task of being both Sloptapus’ and SMC’s drummer, a task that required him to learn up to 80+ songs, with a huge 18 member ensemble that played long, long shows. One SMC show held at University of NH lasted nine and a half hours, and among being the largest attended party in UNH history, Seth played almost the entire set, with Bedrosian giving him a break for one or two songs. Seth contributed greatly to both the Dr. Sloptapus debut album, as well as the final SMC album Monofunksitism, released in 2001 and 2003 respectively. SMC broke up in late 2003, and Seth moved on to continuing work with remaining Sloptapus members, moving en masse to Tallahassee, FL upon their former band mate Bedrosian’s successful jump onto George Clinton’s Pfunk Mothership, as their newest keyboardist. Sloptapus enjoyed a short lived return to form for a short time in FL, and at the same time, Ceders was also playing in Pfunker Jerome Rodger’s Rock and Roll band The Church of High Voltage. Upon the eventual demise of both bands, Seth turned largely to studio work, playing drums and programming on some of the Danny Bedrosian/Secret Army material released from 2005-2006. He was drummer for both the Som’n Fierce band, as well as the current Secret Army, which is brainchild of Bedrosian, and membered by Pfunk’s Dewayne “Blackbyrd” McKnight, and Lige Curry, among other great musicians from Dr. Sloptapus, The Soular System, and others. Seth also played in Tallahassee folk-rock band Red Flag Hitchhikers, the Florida based rock/funk group Unfunkwittable, led by guitarist/vocalist Dwayne Dungey, as well as another newer project alongside bassist Duane Day and guitarist MattMan, doing a Pop/Jazz genre that is both unique and viable. Seth continues to challenge himself, and move forward, with a drumming style that is funky, hard hitting, emotional, and individual, contributing to his rock band alongside Marc Munoz, called Midnight Chainsaw.
