Vic
Firth presents "We Want The Funk" poster:
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.
If you teach drum lessons or are an educator at a school
or music store, Vic Firth will be happy to give you
free copies of "We Want the Funk"
for all of your students. For more information, contact
Daniel directly.

| 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. |
