Darryl "Thunderfoot" Johnson - Drummer and Drum Instructor - Interview with Eric Rosebrock

On October 14, 2009 Eric Rosebrock / drumfreak visited Carlton Music in Winter Haven, FL to interview a local drummer who has had an astonishing history of over 42 years of professional drumming in everything from Big Band, Rock, Orchestra and almost every flavor music.  He's a gigging drummer, always ready to jump behind the kit and let loose. Darryl Johnson has been educating students for over 30 years in Central Florida. He's performed with the Over 55 Band in his most recent drumming experiences. The Over 55 band, which is a band for musicians over 55 years of age, is based on big band and Jazz styles. The Over 55 Band has a motto "We will go down Swinging..." and Darryl is joined by a wonderful group of musicians sharing their love for the Swing of music.

Darryl is heavily influenced by the late Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson and Jim Chapin; The Ambassador of Drumming - Dom Famularo, Tommy Igoe and many other drummers he has crossed paths with. To this day, Darryl Johnson still believes in the foundation his influences have laid for all of us drummers to embrace.

You can find Darryl behind the desk, tuning drums, or giving instruction from everything including Timpani, Marimba, Drumset, Snare Drum, Music Notation, Music Reading, Chart Reading, and much more at Carlton Music of Winter Haven, FL on Avenue D North West. Or, on the web at http://carltonmusic.com

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.

Casey Grillo - Kamelot - Interview

Submitted by billy ashbaugh on: Wednesday, Nov 4, 2009

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& ... more »

 

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 »
