I cannot believe this amazing demonstration of stupidity and incompetence. Probably shared on both sides. Long story short: -Drummers Collective moves to a new building where they are assured sound proofing in this new building. -They spend mad money building rooms inside new building, move into to...

The best drum school in North America- I feel like although I paid for my education- they gave me a career. All the folks running it are NYC bred so they just got caught up in BS I'm sure. I sincerely hope they can rise above this and continue their amazing work. I'm also an alumni of The Collectiv...

Hey- I'll be at NAMM. Is there an official hang? I would love to meet up with some of you. Unfortunately, it's going to be a pretty quick trip this time around as I'll only be there for Thursday & Friday. I have an artist signing at the Sonor booth at 4:00pm on Friday, but other than that I'll j...

One of the hardest things to get a handle on is balance. Everything has a price.

One clip was put up by Evans on their site and the other clip was put up by my friend Simon Yu (he's also the incredible guitarist in the clips). They were bo...

to you also, Tobias.

It will be great to meet you Da Chooch! Where and when is the HoD hang?

I play a lot of DNB and I really like to try and incorporate it into all different facets of my playing when I can. Playing this type of music made me think about how to use just a kick, snare and hi-hat. This set up encourages a "less is more" approach that has helped me focus on soloing ...
