On March 26th, 2008 Rocket was arrested at LAX airport on a rape warrant issued out of Mississippi. Rockett is a well-known vegan, animal rights activist and holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Renato Magno.
Rikki Rockett was born Richard Allan Ream, 8 August 1961, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. He is (age 46) best known as the drummer for the American glam metal band, Poison.
In April 2006, Rockett made a guest appearance on TLC's new "Wrecks To Riches" auto overhaul series, helping to restore a 1969 Dodge Dart before giving Poison's new version of "We're an American Band" a spin on the car's amped-up sound system. On 26 April 2007 Rockett announced the creation of "Rockett Drum Works Inc". It is a drum manufacturing company, specializing in the creation of ultra custom drum kits, snare drums and custom accessories. Prior to setting up his enterprise, Rockett worked for Chop Shop Custom Drum. He departed after conflicting opinions with Chop Shop founder Brian Cocivera. Rockett recruited most of the staff from his old drum concern, the Chop Shop Drum Company, who he recently left, along with some newer staff members. He created the new company to express his personal concepts and create unique, high quality custom percussion instruments. On 19 September 2007, Bosphorus Cymbals unveiled the "Rockett Ride"; a custom ride cymbal in 20" and 22" sizes, designed to Rikki's exact specifications.
