"I Came, I Saw (and Saw, and Saw, and Saw), I left..." Mike Tocker at NAMM 2008

Submitted by ThatDrummerKid on Mon, 02/25/2008 - 16:40

NAMM 2008 was like a theme park for musicians to say the least. Unfortunately, the convention was not open to the public. Luckily for us at DrummerConnection we were able to attend NAMM to see everything there was to offer. So we thought it would be great to let other drummers, also attendees of NAMM 08' to share their experience to everyone that were not able to be part of such a life-changing event. Mike Tocker, Percussion Specialist from Daddy's Junky Music was generous enough to give us his take on the whole event. "I came, I saw (and saw, and saw, and saw), I left..." NAMM Show 2008

This was my first NAMM. This was my first day and everything had been great. I met a lot of stars, I played a bunch of drums and cymbals. I've met amazing people and I've seen amazing equipment and ideas. It's Friday Night and I'm on my 7th Wind.

Topic of The Week- Speed Drumming

Submitted by ThatDrummerKid on Mon, 01/07/2008 - 17:55

The Drummer Connection's drum topic of the week is... Speed Drumming Since the beginning of drumming, speed has been sometimes used as a skill meter for some drummers. They just think that speed is everything, and if you don't have mind-jolting speed chops your not impressive to any degree. This is a much disputed topic among drummers of different style, genre, and background. On the other hand, some drummers prefer the K.I.S.S method(Keep It Simple Stupid). It just depends on the drummer's preference, and how they play. Being that this is the drum topic of the week, we at Drummer Connection would like you to post your opinion here, to see what you think about speed drumming. If your on the speed side, the simple side, or even if your caught in the middle of the two, speak your mind here, and have fun with it!
