I am now a proud endorser of Vic Firth drumsticks. As part of my joint clinic appearance at PASIC '09 with Zoro, Vic Firth and Alfred Publishing joined forces to release a special new poster called "We Want The Funk." The poster takes you on a journey through the history of R&B drumming, beginning in 1946 and going right up through the late 1970s. 25 seminal grooves are covered in this fun, colorful and informative piece of wall art!

You can see a hi resolution PDF of the poster here.

DG will be the Special Guest at Drummer's Recording Seminar - April 22nd
I will be the special guest drummer at the Drummer's Recording Seminar, hosted by Mark Schulman, drummer with Velvet Revolver, Billy Idol, Cher, Foreigner, Stevie Nicks, Pink, Sheryl Crow and many others. This full day intensive seminar - held at Mark's studio in Venice, CA - is open to drummers of all ages and levels; it's a hands-on experience that will teach you the "how-to's" of pro studio drumming.

Mark is a veteran drummer, engineer and producer - his seminar will give you a detailed breakdown of studio drumming techniques, an easy understanding of drum tuning, sizes, and heads, and a lesson on how to talk to producers and engineers to get better results and more gigs!

Because of the small class size, you are guranteed to get a great deal of actual recording time, and a personalized analysis of your playing! At the end of the day, you will walk out with a CD recording of your playing before and after!

Of course, I will be there too, providing a lot of tips about working with vintage drums and getting that cool "vintage sound" that is so desirable in today's recording industry.
