Eli Pedone Interview - Central Florida Drummer

Orlando, Florida will forever best be known as the home city of the happiest place on earth-which can either be a blessing or a curse. Nevertheless, there's nothing Mickey Mouse about the Orlando music scene, unless you count that place where they make the boy bands. With live act venues abounding, fans have plenty of small and large venues from which to choose if they want some non-theme park related entertainment…except of course if you go to a theme park. Eli Pedone has been a long time friend and advocate of Drummer Connection since we've started our journey on the world wide web. Born in Passaic, NJ, Eli moved to Florida in 1980 and started playing the drums in 1982. Since then Eli has been an active presence in Orlando's music scene, having been blessed to play with some of the most talented musicians in Central Florida. He has also built a sturdy and respectable reputation over the years as a local educator and performer. Literally the "Kevin Bacon" of drummers-he knows almost everybody who sits behind a kit. In this long awaited interview, Eli discusses influences, gigs, and his experience working within one of the most active music scenes in the country.

Yael - Interview

Submitted by King on: Monday, Jan 25, 2010

In 2005 a collaboration of artists from around the globe set out to redefine the modern day recording process of how studio albums are created. By foregoing a more traditional approach Yael, accompanied with a cast of colorful and talented musicians decided to step "outside of the box" to see what happens when people just get together and start making music. The process developed into a whirlwind of innovative ideas encompassing a journey almost 4 years in the making…. The Lo ... more »

Bobby Figueroa - Interview

Submitted by King on: Friday, Jan 22, 2010

Since the band was formed in 1961 the Beach Boys have become a staple of American music culture. The group has had thirty-six U.S. Top 40 hits (the most of any U.S. rock band) and fifty-six Hot 100 hits, including four number one singles. They have often been called "America's Band" and Allmusic.com has stated that "the band's unerring ability… made them America's first, best rock band." Although the lineups have changes throughout the years B ... more »

Bo Swanger - Interview

Submitted by King on: Friday, Jan 22, 2010

NAMM is the ultimate shoppers paradise, just being able to see all the vendor booths is a challenge within itself. With just about every major manufacturer being represented, it's easy to get lost in the spectacle of NAMM with all this gear at your fingertips. Everybody has a specific feature and sales pitch for their product, but having the inside perspective always helps when determining your final purchase or endorsement with a company.Bo Swanger is and independent artist out of Denver, ... more »

Stanton Moore - Interview

Submitted by billy ashbaugh on: Tuesday, Jan 12, 2010

Stanton Moore has a love for New Orleans that runs deep down to the very core of who he is. Taken to his first Mardi Gras parade at just 8 months old, Stanton has spent his entire life becoming acquainted and immersed within the city's rich heritage and music culture - a history spanning across the many years and countless souls who've inhabited The Big Easy since it was founded in 1718. One of the original members and founder of the New Orleans-based funk band Galactic, Stanton and th ... more »

Hannah Ford - Interview

Submitted by King on: Wednesday, Jan 6, 2010

The contraption known as the "trap set" or "drum kit" was developed out of necessity over 100 years ago and has since revolutionized the way we play drums. People of all ages, races, and creeds have made their contributions to perfect the instrument and how it's played. However, women who have found themselves underneath it's spotlight have been very few and far between. Some cultures have even viewed the drums as being "unladylike& ... more »

Jan Koster - Interview

Submitted by King on: Thursday, Dec 31, 2009

When playing drums the placement of your kit means everything. Not having your equipment properly set up and anchored can cause you to become distracted and really affect the outcome of your performance. Having to deal with kick drums and hardware sliding away from you has been a continuous problem even with the advancement of drum rugs. It seems everything with the drums has evolved except what we choose t ... more »
