Greetings all,

Welcome to the youtube home of the RHYTHMELODIC MUSIC Global Network. RHYTHMELODIC (rith'eme-lod'ik) is an independent music venture founded by my wife, singer-songwriter Katy Tessman and myself in 1999 to promote our creative work.

Katy is currently retired from active performing, preferring instead to be home to raise our two beautiful children, Louis and Maxwell. I look forward to using this site as a satellite station to our home base, www.rhythmelodic.com, to encourage communication and cross-traffic with old friends and new.

Enjoy a look around and be sure to also visit the home site for my latest news, complete gig calendar and FREE online drum lessons. Also watch for articles of mine in that will be featured in upcoming issues of MODERN DRUMMER magazine.

Be sure to say hello and thanks for looking in.

Peace,
David Stanoch
