Jazz Drumming Origins
Mon, 10/10/2016 - 11:09am
How did we get to where we are now? The birth and growth of jazz music is an intriguing element of United States history. And one of the most interesting aspects of this growth is the progression of jazz drumming.
The history of the drum set is deeply entwined with jazz history, as it evolved through the explorations of early jazz drumming going back to percussionists in New Orleans. These so called “drum set inventors” made drum sets that provided them with the ability of creating sounds that came to their mind, and that could match what the other musicians were playing.

Around The World in 5 days...

Hello from Johannesburg, South Africa! After 30 years on tour, I finally made it to the continent of Africa, and am totally enjoying the experience. Last week, clinics for Yamaha on their incredible new keyboard, the Montage, then back to LA for 5 days, now to Johannesburg with a great band fronted by Bill Champlin (from Chicago, wrote a bunch of hits including "Hard Habit to Break" and "Turn Your Love Around"), Brenda Russell (who wrote "Piano In The Dark" and "Get Her (If You Can)), and Deniece Williams ("Too Much Too Little Too Late", "Gonna Take A Miracle", "Let's Hear It For The Boy"). Whirlwind rehearsals, much jet lag, and many tracks to do from the hotel room for various projects!
Below is my "hotel rig": MacBook Pro, Bose noise-cancelling headphones, the iRig Pro 37 keyboard and, just entering my rig, a replacement breath controller that I just integrated today. And of course, the all-essential pot of coffee!
