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.

Ray Luzier - Interview & Clinic Review

Submitted by webadmin on: Wednesday, Dec 30, 2009

For those of you who couldn’t make it Seminole Music and Sound on Monday you should just go ahead and kick yourself now! Sabian/ddrum artist Ray Luzier tore the house down with an amazing drum clinic and yes… you should have been there. You may remember Ray from such acts as the David Lee Roth Band as well as Army of Anyone. As of late Ray has become the latest member of Korn – probably one of the most influential metal bands EVER!

Artimus Pyle - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Submitted by webadmin on: Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009

From sold out stadiums to your local hole in the wall dive bar, it's rare to go out and see a band without hearing the all too familiar request of "play some Skynyrd!" We've all heard it before. Sometimes it comes from the back the room or the friend at your side…sometimes it's you! Most people just laugh about it as the band plays on, but what was it really like to be associated with these southern rock icons who've made a permanent mark on American cultu ... more »

Morgan Rose - Sevendust Interview

Submitted by King on: Friday, Dec 11, 2009

There are bands who tour with groups like Creed, and there are bands who tour with groups like Slipknot, but none that can do both…unless of course you're Sevendust. Many bands within the metal music scene get trapped in the classic stereotype of being just "a bunch of noise," but Sevendust has always found that perfect mix of harmony vs. hostility - thus creating a sound that is truly unique in its own. Their chunky guitar riffs matched with aggressive, yet soulful lyri ... more »

Chad Sexton - 311 Interview

Submitted by - - D - - on: Wednesday, Dec 9, 2009

When music is your life and you're part of a band one key to success is possessing originality. Having that unique "sound" people can relate to is essential to obtain musical longevity in a world full of copy cat ensembles and one hit wonders. With each passing decade there are bands within all genres tying to fit a particular mold or formula for success - adhering to certain principals which make it hard to distinguish one from the next. By combining a diverse mixture ... more »
