I have been recording scratch drum tracks for a new 8 son CD. Great players fun tunes. Groove rock instrumentals. I hit the studio in mid March to record my actual tracks. Look out for videos as well as song samples. More info to follow.

I have been writing tons of double bass drumming exercises. Several will be published in upcoming Modern Drummer magazines. Breaking in my new Ludwig Atlas Pro double pedals in the process. Hands down, they are simply the best pedal I have ever played!

Check out the June 2012 issue of Modern Drummer Magazine for another one of my double bass drum lessons.

After thinking about it for far too long, I am up and running on my new website design. I cannot thank my friend Rich and his new company, FastFroggy enough. He is whipping me into shape as far as adding posts, new lessons and videos.  New video lessons will begin this week!

Ludwig made a new 6 1/2 x 14 Classic Maple snare for me. Loving it!!

Here is a snapshot of the Paiste main web page, pretty cool, THANKS guys!

Went out to the Paiste office in Ca today to pick up my new 2002 series cymbals.

15″ Sound Edge HH, 18 Medium crash, 20 Power Crash and 24″ Ride
