Afro-Cuban drumming - An overview for the drumset - For even more details and special insights into the DVD, you can read Phil's interview here in the blog section. Look for "online interview"
Influences	I love African descent music. The cultures, people. The incredible variety. The genres are so vast. You could spend your whole life listening and never hear the same song twice. In my DVD you can see I have a great love for Afro-Cuban music. Even as expansive as this genre is, it's just one countries music. There is soooo much music out there. And so beautiful. When I first started to play, Afro Cuban music gave me a gift. I became a better musician, a better drummer, and most importantly...I was able to develop an even greater appreciation for having this wonderful instrument in my life. The drumset. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

READ ALL ABOUT IT!! >>Here!!

Phil was raised in a family of musicians and was drawn to the drums at an early age. His exposure at that time to the great artists of jazz helped to develop his great passion for the music. When he was 16 he began his first serious study, with jazz drumming great - Roy Mc Curdy. Under Roy’s "wing" he learned the language and art of jazz drumming. This set him on an irreversible course, towards his life long dream. By the age of 18 he was touring the united states. Touring and recording with different artists gave him the live playing experience neccesary to become a professional musician. By 1986 he had 7 albums under his belt and 2 Top Forty hits. At the age of 23 he graduated from the Musicians Institute - "P.I.T" - and soon after was asked to join the P.I.T. teaching staff. He taught core curriculum and private lessons there from 1987 - 1997. This gave him the opportunity to develop and teach his very innovative and well received methods "Working the Inner Clock" and "Latin Soloing for the Drumset". Phil’s products are now distributed by Hal Leonard Publications and will be available at your local music store. Phil now resides in New York city and continues to work in a wide variety of styles, doing everything from Afro-Cuban music, Big Band, R&B, Straight Ahead jazz, Rock, World music, even Punk Rock!
