Pullman Gerald "Tommy" Pederson (1920–1998) was a U.S. trombonist and composer, often described as the foremost authority on the art of playing the trombone.Pederson began to play the drums and viola at age four. However, his career as a percussionist ended early. As a youngster he was a pit musician at a silent movie theater. During a gruesome battle scene in the film The Big Parade, he was supposed to execute a rimshot whenever a character was shot or bayoneted. Instead, Pederson fainted.At age 13, Pederson began getting up before dawn to practice the trombone instead of the viola. He began his professional career traveling with the bands of Gene Krupa and Tommy Dorsey while still in his teens. He also worked for Woody Herman and Benny Goodman. (Pederson adopted the name Tommy out of respect for his boss, Tommy Dorsey.)
