Influences
Sounds LikeTerry Bozzio:
A legend and an innovator, Terry's unique and immense DW kit make him one of this years 'Must See' performers. Terry's noted performances include those with Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, Jeff Beck and more recently with Korn.

Thomas Lang:
Thomas has become one of the world's most renowned figures in contemporary drumming. His awe-inspiring technique is matched only by his CV which includes Robbie Williams, Kylie, Gianni Naninni and The Clash. 'Das Machine' remains one of the industries most sought after session players and one of the worlds most talked about clinicians.

John Tempesta:
John Tempesta was the drumming driving force behind White Zombie and then Rob Zombie as well as Helmet and now The Cult. John’s incredible double-bass drum chops truly get a work out in the midst of his monstrous kit. Combining blazing heavy-rock chops with modern electronic loops and programs makes him the perfect foundation for Zombie’s signature hard-edged electronic Rock.

Steve White:
Precision, groove and clarity - Steve's long term association with Paul Weller and his regular clinic appearances have made Steve a firm favourite internationally - a mod hero.

Jeremy Stacey:
A British drumming hero whose early career was spent with Aztec Camera, later he joined the likes of Finn Brothers and Sheryl Crow, Black Crows and Joe Cocker.

Russ Miller:
One of todays top touring session players, Russ has worked with Multi-Platinum and Grammy award winning artists including Nelly Furtado and Ray Charles. Recently voted one of the top 5 players in world, Russ continues to wow audiences at events round the world.

Chris Pennie:
Now writing and playing for one of the world's most exciting bands 'Dillinger Escape Plane' Chris is known for his blend of "rudiments with jazz inflected expressions" and creative use of triggers and effects via foot pedals.

Mike Terrana:
A hard hitting Metal legend if ever there was one! He is currently playing with Rage and has played with guitar legend Yngwei Melmstein. Mikes creative use of jazz funk swing and Metal has made him one of the genres most innovative players.

Bobby Arechiga:
US Born Bobby Arechiga (formerly of Danger Zone, Strongheart and now John Parr) is one of the UK’s most respected and sort after session drummers, teacher and drum clinicians. Expect a fusion of customary hard hitting with technical skill and flare of a level that is rarely seen in clinics.

Dom Famularo:
Dom Famularo has been travelling the globe preaching the gospel of drumming for over 30 years. An intense performer, Dom is one of the most respected solo drum artists in the world, with a career built solely upon his unique skills as a drummer and motivational speaker.
