   About Marty Knepp
I have been playing the drums since I was 6 years old. I started playing Big Band while at Arundel High School and I cant get enough of the style. I have fallen in love with Latin music and can't get enough of it. I went To Shenandoah Conservatory of Music. I had the opportunity to play all the time. I am currently working on a Big Band drum book. Over the years I have learned a couple things about playing Big Band drums. The thing that has help me the most is, leading a couple of big bands. I am also teaching at AACC, I direct the Jazz band. These has given me much insight about how a big band is supposed to play. I am also working on some type of online lessons or podcast about big band., Stay tuned..

Too bad no drums for that show as I believe it is a BJA event. Would have been nice to see you there and share Miche' updates.
