Kreutzmann began playing the drums as a teenager and co-founded the band The Warlocks in 1964. After performing together for a year, the band became known as the Grateful Dead. Kreutzmann combined with fellow drummer Mickey Hart to create one of the most iconic and legendary percussion partnership duos.

Later in their career, Kreutzmann and Hart earned the nickname of “The Rhythm Devils” by the music industry. The Grateful Dead have been recognized as being one of the greatest and most successful bands in the world. Each member was inaugurated into the Rock and Hall of Fame. Kreutzmann played with the band until 1995 when the Grateful Dead split after the death of Jerry Garcia. Since the Grateful Dead, Kreutzmann has formed his own band called the 7 walkers. The band released their first studio album in November 2010.
