Antonino "Tony" Currenti (born 26 June 1951) is an Australian rock drummer of Italian descent, best known as a session drummer for Australian hard rock band AC/DC (1975 debut album High Voltage, the "High Voltage" single, and 1984 album '74 Jailbreak) and various Vanda & Young projects – including Stevie Wright (international hit "Evie") and John Paul Young (hit singles "Yesterday's Hero" and "I Hate the Music").

[2][3] He migrated to Australia on SS Galileo Galilei in August 1967 with his parents, brother and sister at the age of 16,[3] with no knowledge of English.

[4][5] In 1972, they recorded a cover version of The Who's "Join Together", which was released as Grapevine featuring Jackie Christian with B-side called "That's Life".

[4][9] It was during this time in early 1974 that George Young approached Currenti and asked if he would record with his two younger brothers in a band called AC/DC.

[1][4] Several months later, Jackie Christian & Flight split up and Currenti stayed on with Vanda & Young as a session musician, which included working with Stevie Wright on an album called Black Eyed Bruiser in 1975 (Tony was drummer on all but two tracks) and even his international number one hit "Evie" (specifically Part Three "I'm Losing You") released the previous year.

He recorded tracks for John Paul Young including hit singles "Yesterday's Hero" (1975) and "I Hate the Music" (1976).

"Love" by Jackie Christian & Flight features on two compilations: The Vanda & Young Story Volume 1 (Albert Productions/Drum, 1976) and Their Music Goes 'Round Our Heads (Columbia, 1992).

Currenti's drumming on John Paul Young's "Yesterday's Hero" appears on the compilation Sharpies: 14 Aggro Aussie Anthems From 1972 To 1979 (Sharps Rock Records, 2013).

[10] Currenti completed a number of tours of the UK and Europe with various AC/DC tribute bands and received civic honours in his hometown of Fiumefreddo di Sicilia in Sicily.

The 2017 touring show, a tribute to Bon Scott, featured Currenti, James Morley, Mark Evans, Filippo Olivieri, Skenie and Simon Wright.
