Greetings all, Welcome to the myspace home of the RHYTHMELODIC MUSIC Global Network.
RHYTHMELODIC (rith'eme-lod'ik) is an independent music venture founded by my wife, singer-songwriter Katy Tessman, and myself in 1999 to promote our creative work. Katy is currently retired from active performing, preferring instead to be home to raise our two beautiful children, Louis and Maxwell.
I look forward to using this site, as well as our NEW sites on youtube, Drum Tube, and Facebook as satellite stations to our home base, www.rhythmelodic.com, to encourage communication and cross-traffic with old friends and new.
Enjoy a look around. There's a bit of original music & video from Katy & myself as well as a highlighted gig schedule. Be sure to also visit the home site, www.rhythmelodic.com, for my latest news, complete gig calendar and FREE online drum lessons. Also watch for articles of mine in that will be featured in upcoming issues of MODERN DRUMMER magazine.
