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..
THANKS FOR THE NICE COMMENT ABOUT THE MUSIC AND ARTICLE. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN TO RECORD WITH LIEB, MARK WALKER AND DAVID CLARK. I SEE MARK IS ON YOUR FRIENDS LIST. HE NAILED IT ON THE RECORDING.
