I’m not Stewart Copeland from The Police, but I’ve studied just about all of his drum parts. Everybody is inspired by something–celebrity, actor, sports figure, fashion, nature, a teacher, a chef, musical groups, etc. When I first heard The Police, my brain melted! I spent all of my money on the recordings, various Rock Magazines, a Modern Drummer subscription, and attended my first live concert at Shea Stadium, Queens, New York. Interestingly, REM opened up for Joan Jett, who in turn, opened up for The Police’s Synchronicity Tour. My drumming life began in the 80’s and it’s still going strong…

TRUE STORY:
Roughly 7 months ago, I attended my first jam at CC’s Wine Bar in Sebastian. To be honest, I was extremely nervous and didn’t know what to expect. A drummer friend, Duane Marshall, encouraged me to attend this jam. I signed up on the jam list and they called me up to play White Rabbit, by Jefferson Airplane. It was my first time playing this ever. The performance speaks for itself, and I hope you enjoy it. When you take lessons from great teachers and practice, you can do anything!
