Richard Christy spent his childhood in Redfield, a city in Kansas, the son of a Vietnam veteran. At the age of 10, he started playing drums in his elementary school band Uniontown. His inspiration to start playing was Alex Van Halen’s drumming in the song entitled “Hot For Teacher”, by the band Van Halen. At the beginning he played snare drum, and later his parents bought him a Gretsh drum set, so he could practice every day after school.

After graduation, Christy decided to move to Florida, hoping that he would meet the leader of the band Death, Chuck Schuldiner, and did so in the mid-1990s, soon auditioned and eventually became the new drummer of the band Death. He stayed with the band until Chuck`s death in 2001 after he lost the battle with cancer. Richard was on the band`s seventh studio album “The Sound Of Perseverance” (1998), and was also on tour with them, later that year, of which two concert albums were released, “Live In Eindhoven” (1998), and “Live In L.A” (1999).
