Early life
Schwartz grew up in Phoenix despite being born in Chicago. He came from a musical family; his father was a guitarist and piano player, and his brother, session guitarist and producer Richard Bennett, has performed with many well-known artists in Los Angeles and Nashville; and Mark Knopfler has spent time touring and recording with him.
Schwartz began drumming in 1965, and by the mid-1970s, he had begun playing regularly with a few bands and doing some recording work.
Later life
Schwartz first saw "Weird Al" Yankovic at the Dr. Demento Show on KMET in Los Angeles, September 14, 1980. Since 1981, he has performed drums at every "Weird Al" show, except for three shows on the 2003 Poodle Hat Tour; a minor illness barred him from playing the drums; bassist Steve Jay's brother and collaborator Pete Gallagher, who was working as a tech on the tour, sat-in on the drums, while Schwartz handled the electronics, cues, and vocals from behind the drum riser.
Schwartz is also the official band historian, who has compiled an unsurpassed number of unique retail and streaming video products from around the world that feature "Weird Al" Yankovic either as a performer or producer in a cameo appearance, or as a character or photograph on the product. Schwartz has an unmatched number of photographs, memorabilia, and information about his time with Yankovic, and he is often searched for rare and unusual photos, videos, and articles pertaining to Yankovic.
Schwartz continues to perform with other Los Angeles artists and bands, as well as the album Biblical Graffiti, where he appeared on seven of the tracks), Lousy Little Gods, Brian Sisson, Crown City Bombers, and The Zero G Band.

In 1995, he created the official "Weird Al" Yankovic website, which later became weirdal.com. He is an administrator for the World of "Weird Al" Yankovic and Drummerworld forums, and he regularly posts in various forums under the name "bermuda."
