Before the ddrum Syndicate Party kicked off on Friday the 13th, Seminole Music & Sound gave everyone a great preview of what to expect by hosting a clinic w/ ddrum artist Larone "Skeeter" McMillian.

Only in his early twenties, Skeeter has played for a variety of famous musicians and has stayed so busy he's postponed a FULL scholarship offered to him by Berklee College of Music! Playing for such acts as The Last Goodnight, William Murphy, JoJo, and Jennifer Hudson, as his musical diversity broadens the list just goes on and on.

Skeeter opened up the clinic by jamming to several play along tracks before cranking out a rhythmically dynamic drum solo - displaying only a fraction of his unique talent, but plenty to leave the eyes and mouths wide open of everyone in the room. Afterwards he spoke to the crowd, answering questions about his influences and life experiences from playing every style from rock to gospel. Topics such as studio and touring etiquette, choosing your gigs, and most importantly… picking your spot to open up in the song without making it a drum solo. He further demonstrates this principle giving several examples in his performance of "how to" and "how not to" play.

Afterwards Skeeter wrapped up by performing the hit song "Get Out" by pop artist JoJo. Once finished, Larone retreated to the back of the store to shred it up w/ Ray Luzier, Brent Easton, Lil' Mike Mitchell and several other ddrum artists who came out to support their brethren before Friday's main event!

Casey Grillo Drum Clinic @ Seminole Music & Sound

Submitted by webadmin on: Thursday, Oct 9, 2008

When I walked into Seminole Music & Sound, the store was already starting to fill up with people a whole hour before the clinic! The store was layed out nicely, with an area dedicated for Casey's drums. Casey's drum kit for the clinic was different than his usual setup, consisting of a basic four-piece Pearl Vision kit. He also used his two Pearl Reference snares from his new kit. As always, his cymbal setup was plentif ... more »
