drumchannel.com is going “live” twice a week!
I will be hosting my own show every tuesday starting June 30th. It will be a “One on One” show with more in depth focus on my guest, and most importantly a lot of time to jam & play together!!! In the style of DC Live w/ Curt Bisquera on Thursdays, we will stream live on Tuesdays to interact w/ any chat questions, & will put it up 2 days later for you to enjoy at anytime.
My first show will focus on the importance of a good local teacher & my guest will be my friend & wonderful local educator Al Velasquez who has played with: Benise (currently), SugarLoaf, Big Bad Voo Doo Daddy ( on congas), Perla Battalla (latin singer @ TRAP) & Rafael Aragon (Flamenco). Al has studied w/Gregg Bissonette, Marc Craney, Steve Houghton, The Reyes; Walfredo Sr, Jr. & Danny & David Garibaldi.
This Thursday July 2 @ 6PM PST, join Curt & I for DC LIVE with our special guest Chad Wackerman!

Hello all my friends,
I’m sorry that my site has been so dead for so long!
It is now undergoing a re-design that enables me to be more directly in control of it…
The first thing I want to tell you is that I have been very busy working at DRUMCHANNEL.COM, a new website for drummers. Please log on & join (it’s free) & tell all of your friends to check it out.
The most recent playing I have done on DRUMCHANNEL was shot on Thursday… it’s called DC LIVE, hosted by my dear friend Curt Bisquera. It featured Tony Royster Jr., who was here promoting his new DVD “Evolution” which I am proud to say features me as well as the great Dennis Chambers. If you don’t know about Tony, I think he is probably the HOTTEST & most talented drummer on the planet right now. Not only can he lay it down w/ Jay Z, & shred everybody with his chops, but he is one of the most musically deep young men i have ever met.
Coming up this Thursday will be the mega star drummer of Rush: Neil Peart, joined by Jethro Tull’s Doane Perry & myself, for a Progressive Rock discussion and some jamming! It airs Live at 6 PM PST, & if you miss it we will rebroadcast it next week until the new episode airs on the following Thursday.
I will be hosting my own live show soon on Tuesdays… meanwhile I have tons of content on DRUMCHANNEL.COM… including Master Class Lessons, Interviews of my favorite drummers, Jams with my favorite drummers etc.etc. etc.
GO THERE NOW! (more about me & my stuff later!)
