Week of March 28th

Hey Drummers,

Just a reminder that the Disciple reunion concert is less than two weeks away, so if you’re planning on going you need to get your tickets now!  You can get the tickets at Trees in Dallas.  Tickets are $20 per person, yeah I know that’s pricey but the club sets the price, sorry.  The show is Saturday, April 9th.  I think we will probably go on around 10 or 10:30pm – I’ll keep you posted.  Hope to see you all there.

Also, I wanted to let all my students know that Vic Firth has just sent me another drum instruction book to use and review for their site.  The book is called A Fresh Approach To The Drumset by Mark Wessels.  I will be using parts of this book with all of my students and would love feedback from each one of you on how effective you think it is.  At first glance it looks like a well put together and comprehensive book for beginners as well as intermediate drummers.  The book also includes a MP3 CD with lots of tunes to play along with.  Keep a lookout for my review on it.

Finally I want to remind all drummers that daily practice is Super Important!  It is the only way to achieve the level of musicianship you dream of, so grab those sticks and get to it!  See you all soon!
