Robert Sweet is the drummer of the Christian Metal band Stryper. He and his brother Michael, originally founded the band as a secular group called 'Roxx' or 'Roxx Regime'. Robert became known as the "Visual Time Keeper" for his wild drumming and eye captivating drum kits. Sweet also played a key role in the visual direction of the band itself as well as being a significant contributor to the group.

After Stryper broke up in 1994, Sweet went on to play in a variety of different acts and projects largely Christian oriented (King James with former Stryper bassist Tim Gaines and former WhiteCross Guitarist Rex Caroll), to studio spots in projects such as Shameless and Titannic to name a few. Sweet went on to record a solo album titled "Love Trash" which demonstrated an eclectic side of his writing and performing capabilities. Later, Sweet co-founded Blissed. Sweet played a key role in the reappearance of Stryper by taking part in 2000's "Stryper Expo" and Costa Rica shows. The successful reception led Sweet to push for a re-union of the band which came in the form of a request by Hollywood Records for a new Best of collection. The band decided that rather than doing another Best of Record that they would record two new songs and then tour behind it. 2003 saw Sweet tour with a re-formed Stryper. In 2004 Stryper returned to the study to begin working on their new release "Reborn". Sweet is currently touring with Stryper in support of this release.
