In his first year of high school, Price ventured into the band room after having no interest in woodwork or metal work. The teacher instructed him to sit behind a snare drum, due to requiring a drummer and this would change his life forever. Following a brief stint in his high school marching band, he was recruited to play drums for the school's band. He then worked as a roadie for the band of his high school friend, keyboardist Cory Lerios, but when the drummer quit, Price became the new drummer. The pair then played in a band called Together and were recruited to play in San Francisco band Stoneground, which turned out to be a big break. Stoneground also performed in the 1972 horror film Dracula A.D. 1972 (starring Christopher Lee).
Alongside guitarist Dave Jenkins, Lerios and bassist Bud Cockrell, Price was a member of Pablo Cruise at its conception in 1973 and stayed until early 1981. In 2004, Price and Lerios rejoined Pablo Cruise and Cockrell left the group. Price joined a Sacramento side project, Mr. December, in 2008. During his time away from Pablo Cruise, Price went on to become a leading figure in providing E-learning and also formed his own aerial photography company.
At one stage, Price was virtually the in-house drummer and percussionist at The Record Plant in Sausalito. He now lives in Rio Vista, California.
In a 1981 live performance with Pablo Cruise, Price augmented his drum kit with temple blocks, cowbells, agogo bells, timbales, crotales, bells, triangles, mark tree and Syndrums.
