  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    The creativity of a jazz drummer can be stimulated by several factors: 1. Listening to Other Musicians: Listening to other jazz drummers and musicians from various genres can offer new ideas and techniques. 2. Improvisation: Practicing improvisation allows for exploring new rhythmic and melodic combinations. 3. Collaboration with Other Musicians: Playing with other musicians can inspire new ideas and approaches through interaction and musical communication. 4. Experimentation with Instruments and Techniques: Trying new instruments, sticks, mallets, and techniques can lead to interesting discoveries. 5. Practice and Discipline: Regular practice and discipline help develop a solid technical foundation, freeing the mind for creativity. 6. Rhythmic Experimentation: Playing with rhythms, time signatures, and polyrhythms can lead to new ideas.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I chose Vic Firth drumsticks for several reasons: they offer superior wood quality, a variety of models suitable for different styles and ways of playing, or a personal preference based on balance, feel, and durability. They are drumsticks that I find everywhere in the world, and wherever I am, I feel safe ... I feel at home with Vic Firth.
