I had an awesome time this weekend in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin drumming in Scrap Metal! Everybody in the band, as well as those running the organization were not only awesome musicians but awesome people! Special thanks go out to Gunner Nelson, Mitch Ballard, and Howie Simon for running the show. Extra special thanks go out to Gary Corbett, Eric Martin, Ted Poley, Phil Lewis, Mark Holt, Janet Gardner, Tim Luce, and Barry Goudreau for their awesome musicianship! Let’s do it again sometime!

DRUM VIDEO SHOOT WITH JOHNNY MISSO
A fun day of intense drum rudiments (or, as much fun as one can have doing drum rudiments for an extended period of time- lol) with Johnny Misso at his Extreme Drum and Groove School! It was a fun video shoot-Johnny was a great host- I’m looking forward to checking out the final results!
ALL STAR JAM FUN
It was a great time recently at Ironsmoke Distillery participating in the All-Star Jam on April 25! Lotsa great people and musicians were there. We jammed some classic Deep Purple, Joe Walsh, and Bad Company. Great venue – hope to do it again sometime.
