How did the Journey gig come around?
The short answer is I was playing in a band that was opening for Journey; they heard what I was playing, liked what I was doing and asked me if I wanted to join the band.
I feel like I need to ...

Steve Smith, shiny headed drummer extraordinaire has done it again! Standing on the Shoulder's of Giant's is Steve's tribute to all the greats that came before him (and he does them justice.) Steve Smith's Jazz Legacy was originally Buddy's Buddies, a tribute band to the work of Buddy Rich. As they went on, they started expanding to the work of other jazz drumming greats. Eventually the name was changed to Jazz Legacy because they had ...

These are Tala Wands. The top one is the smaller and more sticklike bamboo version and the bottom one is the bigger birch model and feels more like a rod in the traditional sense of the word. These things came into being when Steve Smith started getting into indian rhythms. He started playing with giants in indian music like his current favorite drummer Zakir Hussain.He noticed that the drum-set, when played with sticks, was overpowering ...

You owe it to yourself to watch this classic video of Max Roach performing Mr. Hi-Hat.
[youtube:http://youtube.com/watch?v=dNpDQztqWQw]
Although I'm not sure of the exact date of this video, judging by the clothing, Max's age, Jo Jones' age (he died in 1985), and the video quality it looks to be late early 80's-ish.
Here's a later version of the same solo.

This dvd is kind odd in the sense that it accomplishes two very distinct goals as opposed to one vague one. The first dvd in the set is like a clinic with general drum technique in mind. The second one is like a themed showcase concert, the theme being the history and development of the U.S. beat. I'm extremely satisfied with the set as a whole but the second dvd is the thing that makes ...

Hudson Music has put out a dvd called "The Art of Playing with Brushes." Not to be confused with Clayton Cameron's "The Living Art of Brushes" or his "Brushworks" products. Incase you are wondering, no, Clayton Cameron doesn't appear at all in this dvd.
First off this DVD isn't for beginning brush players and it certainly isn't brushes' answer to "Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer." A brainchild of Steve Smith and Adam Nussbaum, this dvd ...
