Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. Customers usually ask."What kind of music do you play?" I can honestly answer "EVERYTHING" .I play pop, rock, blues ,jazz, country, punk, disco, techno , swing, fusion and even older "hard rock". The only WESTERN music I don't play is the newer Black Metal, or Dark Metal......but I can try !
Q. What are the latest developments in your field? Are there any exciting things coming in the next few years or decade that will change your line of business?
A. Automation is perhaps the scariest thing for drummers. Drummers have been put out of work with drum machines since the 1980's. I see my role as a "drummer" changing dramatically over the next few years. Drummers are now playing electronic drums and DJs are triggering even whole drum and bass "grooves". For a drummer to keep busy, he/she must also learn some of these other "drumming" techniques to take back some work from the DJ. Keen timing will allow you to trigger precisely "on time".
