Rest in peace and thank you for all the positive inspiration.

Sad. I remember his old (pre YT) Vic Firth vids, used to watched them over and over again. Loved his enthusiasm. RIP Dom.

Among many experiences with him, one stands out:

My friend Anders and I had gone to Hamburg to see a series of clinics with international drumming stars. Dom was the MC and after the show we hung out with him and a lot of others on the top floor of the SAS Radisson in Hamburg until 3-4 in the morning. We had spoken to him briefly during the evening, spending more time talking to others and each other.

We had to leave early and at At 6:30 we went sleep-drunk to the breakfast buffet, where Dom was already sitting drinking coffee, in a freshly ironed shirt and with a tight tie. He didn't hesitate for a second when he saw us and shouted: "GOOD MORNING GUYS! Did you see: They have DANISH!!"

We laughed so hard.

Those old-school drum industry guys were a different breed.

Dom was definitely a different breed.

Thanks for all the inspiration Dom.
