Correct, he migrated with his family to New York. Erdélyi Tamas was
Jewish, and was born in Budapest, Hungary, to Jewish parents who had
survived the Holocaust by being hidden by neighbors. Many of his
relatives became victims of the Nazis during the second world war. He
came to New York in 1957. He grew up in Forest Hills, Queens, he
attended a yeshiva of the Lubavitch Hasidim in Brooklyn. He played on
the Ramones band's first three studio albums. In 1978 he stopped
drumming for the band, but he stayed on to produce. I his later years
he performed in a bluegrass-based folk duo called Uncle Monk.
