I Just Try To Approach And Serve

I Was In Every Band Class I Could Get In, Like After School Jazz Band And Marching Band, And That's Where I Really Learned To Read Music From Elementary All The Way Through Junior High And High School.

For Live You Need A Microphone For The Snare And The High Hat, The Kick Drum, A Nice Stereo Overhead And One For The Toms - You Can Get Away With Using Four Mikes.

Drums All Have Their Own Particulars - Each Drum Has A Place Where They Sound The Best - Where They Ring Out And Resonate The Best, And The Head Surface Isn't Too Loose Or Too Tight, Mainly So You Get A Good Rebound Off Of The Head.

I Had Sort Of Exhausted All The Avenues Playing In Detroit. So Again, Through The Stewardship Of My Brother, I Ended Up In California And Went To The Musicians Institute In L.a. I Wanted To Get Better As A Player.

In Some Of The L.a. Clubs, People Can Act Too Cool To Get Into Your Music. That Can Get To Be A Bit Much.
