Jazz Can Be So Serious, No Sense

Going Up North With The Redwoods And Driving Along The Coast, It's Got Everything, Man. It's Got The Desert, The Mountains, And The Ocean. It's Beautiful.

I Had Sort Of Exhausted All The Avenues Playing In Detroit. So Again, Through The Stewardship Of My Brother, I Ended Up In California And Went To The Musicians Institute In L.a. I Wanted To Get Better As A Player.

The Juxtaposition Of Words - The Color, Feeling, And Sound Of The Words Together - Has As Much To Do With The Story As The Narrative Itself Does.

Playing Well With Others Is Important - Not Being Too Flashy, Just Keeping Good Time And Of Course Coming Up With Cool Beats. A Good Snare Drum, Kick Drum, High Hat. Just Getting Good At The Hand Feet Coordination.

Playing Along With Records Is Key. And As Far As Equipment Goes It Has Gotten So Much More Affordable And The Drum Sets Are Of Great Quality. I Play Pearl; Their Export Series Is Great For A Beginner.
