Caryn Havlik

Zelenaya

Caryn Havlik has been playing drums for more than 20 years, and is the drummer for the metal-folk band Zelenaya.

Previous gigs include playing with Mortals (Relapse Records), Slayer cover band Slaywhore, electro-grunge outfit Clinical Trials, the Red Hook Ramblers, mathrockers Broadband, and she has even drummed in an off-off-broadway play, "Love Sucks."

She teaches drums, keyboard, and audio production to folks aged 5 to 65 at the Willie Mae Rock Camp and through private lessons.

She is also a long-time radio producer at WNYC, (New York Public Radio), on the show New Sounds with John Schaefer. Her articles, interviews, and reviews on music, drumming, and not sucking at softball have been published in both Decibel and Tom Tom Magazine, the latter of which she served as the Metal issue’s co-editor (No. 13.)

When not breathing music, Havlik is a competitive softball player on three different teams, and avid swimmer, kamikaze biker, and acupuncture junkie. Little known facts: she holds a B.A. in Japanese Language and Literature and studies Polish on her phone in her spare time; she grew up as a classical pianist and had a pretty sweet gig as second-string organist at her church as a teenager; she very much enjoys Gilbert and Sullivan operettas and The Great British Baking Show.
