Richard Lepinsky started playing drums at age 11, taking lessons from Del Wagner at Al Sprintz Music in Winnipeg, MB Canada.
He started out playing community club dances, and later played full time around Winnipeg and western Canada. He also taught drums to a handful of students.
During this time he played with Sing Out Winnipeg, lounge singer Roy Petty, King James Show Band, and a six piece horn band Bounty who opened for Arrowsmith in Winnipeg.
