, and eventually hit the club scene by the time he was a high school senior.
Quickly developing into one of the hottest drummers in town, he then joined local up-and-comers, Juggernaut
, with whom he made his official recording debut, aptly titled Baptism Under Fire, in 1986. A second album followed but by then Bobby had already been tapped to join seminal New York metal band Riot
for their CBS comeback release, Thundersteel
, a power metal milestone that also yielded the MTV video 'Bloodstreets.'
As a member of Riot
, Bobby toured throughout the US, Europe, and Japan and recorded a total of 5 studio and a pair of live albums, including The Privilege of Power
(1990), an eclectic semi-concept album featuring the Tower of Power
horns and guest vocals by Joe Lynn Turner

In 1993, Bobby also reconnected with his younger brother, noted guitarist Ron Jarzombek
of WatchTower
fame. Joined by Riot
bassist Pete Perez, the duo formed madcap tech/prog metal outfit Spastic Ink
whose 'anything goes'-approach owed as much to the spirit of Frank Zappa
and cartoon music icon Carl Stalling
as it did to the brothers' early prog heroes such as UK
and Rush
. The band went on to release two highly acclaimed albums, Ink Complete (1997) and Ink Compatible (2004).
In the fall of 1999, Bobby was asked to submit a package to former Judas Priest
vocalist Rob Halford
whose new project was deep into the pre-production phase for their debut album. Halford was duly impressed by what he later described as "seeing a videotape of the sickest drum solo I've seen in my life. It takes a lot to impress me 'cause I've been around the block! I knew Bobby from Riot but had never seen him play live. He's like an illusionist on the drum kit. It's effortless and entertaining, and he's just brilliant."
Bobby became the drummer for Halford
and was subsequently part of every recording - Resurrection
(2000), Live Insurrection
(2001), Crucible
(2002), and the Fourging The Furnace EP (2003)—and tour, highlighted by an appearance in 2001 at the massive Rock In Rio
III festival in Brazil in front of a quarter million fans. Halford
went on indefinite hiatus when Rob Halford
rejoined his former band, Judas Priest
, in 2003.
In 2004, Bobby was asked by future Howard Stern
sidekick Richard Christy
to take over his drum duties with Iced Earth
who were in the middle of their U.S. tour in support of The Glorious Burden
. The following year, Bobby recorded Touched by the Crimson King
with Iced Earth off-shoot Demons and Wizards and was also approached by former Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach
who was in need of a touring drummer. With Iced Earth on hold due to guitarist Jon Schaffer
's persistent back problems, the Bach gig became permanent. In 2006, Bobby toured worldwide with Bach supporting Guns N' Roses
whose frontman Axl Rose
put in a guest appearance on Bach's 2007 album, Angel Down
.
Bobby also filled in with long running progressive metal outfit Fates Warning
at their 2007 'Evolution Festival' appearance and was the drummer on the band's European tour later that same year. In September 2009, Bobby sat in the drummer's chair for the Progpower USA
Fates Warning performance. In May 2008, it was announced that the members of Riot
's classic Thundersteel
-era line-up - Mark Reale, Tony Moore, Don Van Stavern, and Bobby Jarzombek - would reunite for a new studio album which is currently slated for a late 2009 release.
In 2009, he was a session drummer for several vocal tracks of Sega
's video game Sonic and the Black Knight
. His drumming can be heard on "Through the Fire" and both versions of "With Me", the final battle version and the Crush 40
"Massive Power Mix" exclusive to the original vocal soundtrack: Face to Faith.
