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.
