Casey Grillo - Kamelot - Interview

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's passion to learn. Kamelot drummer Casey Grillo is no exception to the rule. A consummate professional and chameleon of many styles ranging from rock, metal, latin, jazz, and funk, Casey has eclipsed the learning curve throughout his career and 12 year stint with the power metal band Kamelot. When not on the road he spends time juggling tasks such as playing the local music scene and teaching private lessons at Seminole Music & Sound in Seminole, FL. An accomplished sound engineer, Casey also produces studio music tracks-not only recording his own, but other projects for such accomplished artists as John Blackwell and many more! While in town Drummer Connection had the chance to speak with Casey about his latest endorsements, Kamelot's new album, and the upcoming European tour.

Since it's conception the BB King's Blues Club has been providing guests with a premium and unique dining experience by combining great food, drink, and extraordinary musical entertainment.

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 »

Eli Pedone Interview - Central Florida Drummer

Submitted by billy ashbaugh on: Friday, Oct 23, 2009

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 t ... 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 »
