I'm off to L.A. tomorrow and I'm looking forward to meeting some you at NAMM. Safe travels to all.

I just checked the video links (takes me a while sometimes since YouTube is blocked here, I forget to check, and so on). Very nice playing, Tobias! Inspiring, makes me want to practice. Great flow of ideas. I'll be looking for the DVD, too. Thanks for your kind words! So far, I have not yet been gi...

I'll be at NAMM. I'm performing in two 20 minute slots at the Sonor Drums booth on Friday, January 20th and Saturday, January 21. I perform at 3:00pm on each day. DANG Tobias.. yeah..! go git yu sum! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHhu6I2VZxY Thanks Da Chooch! Hopefully I can meet some of you from ...

Willyz- I can sympathize with how you feel. I've been in this situation many times and I'm sure that it will happen many more times in my career. When a group disbands or another drummer is brought in just to "try out" right under your nose (and you're even asked to "rehearse" hi...

Hey matthugen- Yep, guilty. That's me behind the Sonor kit! I would love to make a few of those shows, especially Bozzio. But basically, it just depends on what my reps. from Sonor and Paiste have planned for each evening. So, we'll see what happens. Hey Rodge- No, we didn't play "Why" las...

Hey matthughen- Thanks for your kind words. I've been extremely fortunate to play with so many exceptional talents in my career. I just played a benefit show last night with 24/7 Spyz for Ronnie Drayton's son in NYC (Living Color played too) at Highline Ballroom. It was a phenomenal show! Actually, ...

I'll be at NAMM. I'm performing in two 20 minute slots at the Sonor Drums booth on Friday, January 20th and Saturday, January 21. I perform at 3:00pm on each day. I'll also be kicking around the Paiste booth. Hopefully, I can connect with some of my fellow HoD friends while I'm out there. I'm there ...

Obviously,I'm late getting to this thread...as usual. Better late than never. I love the guitar and likely would have aspired to be a guitarist had the drum bug not bitten me when it did. Some of my favorite guitarists that I have been fortunate enough to play with are: Adrian Belew Dave Fiuczynski ...

Yes, I was fortunate enough to be there (in Long Island, NY) because I was the recipient of the first Buddy Rich Memorial scholarship. It was an amazing night to see all of my heroes on one stage. Just incredible. A night that I will never, ever forget. It was a thrill to win the award especially be...

I will definitely be a NAMM. I will be spliting my time between the Paiste and Sonor booths. Hope to meet some of you.
