🤘 How I almost “made it” and crashed and burned in the #musicindustry.
🚢 How I failed at my first #cruiseship gig.
🥁 When I studied with a renowned #drum instructor who told me the only way to a perfect grade was by achieving world peace and then showed me how to swing the same way Miles Davis showed him.

The people you meet as a musician are incredible. This is the story of one of the best people I met, who taught me more about drumming than any book, video, or teacher ever could.
Chunky is my FAVORITE Bruno Mars tune, so I just had to find a copy to drum to.

Well, here it is. I have been working on this track for a few weeks. It is from a GREAT play-along Series called Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Play-Along. This was from Volume Two. I highly suggest you pick-up this play-along.
Personally, I feel pushing a big band is the toughest gig a drummer can do. Reading, timing, color, and setting up the hits for around seven minutes is a real workout. It is even harder on an entry-level Roland Td-11… I’m not gonna’ lie…but quite doable when you use some technology tricks, feel out the kit, and work within its limitations.
I just released this FREE drum track for all of you singers, songwriters, and producers who want to see the quality studio drum tracks I can provide for your next demo, album, or other musical projects. You can download Boot-Scootin’ Two-Step here.
Check out my recent groovy jam to Track 41 from Tommy Igoe’s Groove Essentials 2.0 on my Roland Td-11 running through Logic and Steven Slate Drums. Enjoy!
