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.

Casey Grillo - Kamelot - Interview

Submitted by billy ashbaugh on: Wednesday, Nov 4, 2009

Drummers are now in a better place than we've ever been. Living in a new age of evolving computer technology musicians can have access to a wide variety of instruments, sounds, and recording options. Although touring is and always will be a must, the long grueling days of studio work is now an alternative as artists record tracks from the comfort of their own home. With educational materials also becoming more accessible people can achieve a high level of musicianship limited only by one& ... more »

Interview with STYX Drummer - Todd Sucherman

Submitted by King on: Friday, Oct 30, 2009

There are so many great drummers playing today, it's hard to narrow it down to even just a few of the best. Modern Drummer once mentioned that MAYBE half a dozen of the Earth's inhabitants possess the advanced talents of STYX drummer Todd Sucherman - and they were correct! Todd is truly a master of his instrument, commanding complete control of every rhythmic situation he encounters. Recipient of the 2009 Modern Drummer Readers Poll for #1 Rock Drummer and #1 Educational DVD with his ... more »

Anthony Moreino Interview

Submitted by King on: Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009

Replacing a former member of an established band is never easy. Aside from having the noteworthy talent required it takes diligence, patience, and thick skin needed to weather the storm and harsh criticisms from a long line of a die hard fans. Over the past year Anthony Moreino has been the driving force behind the Christian based rock band Manic Drive. Based out of Ontario, Canada, Manic Drive has been touring across the U.S. with metal legends Stryper in promotion of their new album &quo ... more »
