Hey Mark, this is Steven (one of the workstudies for perc). If you don't mind me asking, what camera did you use to record this? Looks and sounds great!

Perfect "Silence"..hey man~You guys create an artistic conception delicately!!

I am trying to get a friend of mine to friend you on Face Book(you are there,right?)His name is Charlie Campagna and like you he is a very serious percussionist and very much into Latin drumming(for lack of a better word)He went to Cuba to study their style.

It was very cool being able to watch you playing close up,where I could actually see what your hands were doing.

Thanks for the reply.Oh...BTW I was in the concert band at Lane in 51,52 and part of 53.

Man...that is very impressive! You a Lane grad too?

[mwdrums777]

Yes, I graduated in 1980.  I think Lane Tech was really important in my development as a musician (even if I was not a 'model student'). I always look back and laugh, because many people (including some Lane music teachers) warned me not be a freelance musician, but I didn't listen. Now I know how hard it actually is...I wouldn't recommend it, unless you're REALLY INTO MUSIC (which I am).
