PAT MASTELOTTO DRUMS & DIGITAL DIGITS
Very rarely does a drummer go on to forge the most successful career on demise of their former hit band. Phil Collins and Don Henley have managed it, so too has Pat Mastelotto, a self taught drummer, who has also been involved with pushing the envelope of electronic drumming. Pat has spent a lifetime jumping genres from pop, to prog,to electronica to world music with, among others, Mr. Mister, XTC, David Sylvian, The Rembrandts, Kimmo Pohjonen and for the last 15 years with King Crimson.

MICHAEL BERNIER CHAPMAN STICK / DRUMS / VOCALS
Multi~instrumentalist Michael Bernier is considered to be one of the world's best Chapman Stick players. He is credited in Tony Levin's 'STICKMAN' album for "Advanced Stick Techniques". You can always find Michael inventing new and exciting playing approaches to the Stick.Michael also brings the added element of another drummer to the Stick Men mix. For more info on his other projects see his Myspace music page...

Well, that's one of the advantages in playing bass. You basically only need your instrument, a cable and an amp (though there is so much equipment you could add). Next time I'll go and help him. I'm good at breaking down drumkits (or at least better than playing them...).
Anyway, another question: Now I've got "a special edition release". When will the "official edition" be in stock? My drummer is a bit jealous, you know...
Thanks for the great, indisciplined Firebirdsoupshow last night. By the way: Where was Pat while Tony and Michael signed the CDs? I'm missing one signature!
