Drummer Connection is a drumming community catering to every drummer's needs with industry news, a wide variety of media content, video drum lessons, and more. With that purpose in mind, we want to keep bringing fresh instructional content for the users on the site. So we figured what better than to have a well rounded, well known drummer/instructor to aide us?

We met Billy in October at the kick-off of Guitar Center's Drum Off 2008. After introducing ourselves and engaging in conversation, we immediately knew he was a cool guy, and since then we have been in contact with him. A few jam sessions and phone calls later founder of Drummer Connection, Eric Rosebrock pitches Billy the idea of having him come on board with us, and he was just as excited as we were! Here's a little bit of the history of Billy Ashbaugh:

Billy has been playing drums professionally for the past 26 years. He has toured, recorded or performed with artists such as 'NSYNC, Pat Benatar, Britney Spears, Martina McBride, Tim McGraw, Greg Howe, Gloria Estefan and many more. His experience has led to over 60 television appearances including The Tonight Show (6 times), Saturday Night Live, MTV Music Awards and the Grammy Awards. Billy also performed at the Modern Drummer Festival '02, PASIC '01 and NAMM '05 and '07.

Check out this video of Billy Ashbaugh playing at the Lissa Whales Benefit Show:

Billy is also a DW sponsored clinician. He also endorses Paiste, Evans, Vic Firth, Shure and LP. He currently has a DVD with Alfred Publishing entitled “Takin' Care of Business” and has just finished a method book that is soon to released entitled “The Power of Three-Exploring Triplets Around The DrumSet”.

Billy looks forward to working with us to help build the site. His future plans include getting clinics to help promote his new book, doing sessions from his home studio, and continuing to educate and perform.

We all look forward to seeing plenty of drum lessons, articles, reviews, and much more from Billy as he joins the DC crew! Stay Tuned...

Welcome Billy. It's really awesome to have you here. I suppose I could just say this to you in person in the office, but we're being web geeks here. Anyways, welcome to the club, we're excited here and we're going to rock the Internet in 2009!
