seeks the tradition and the cultural progress, creating a new wave of a sound. Soon he

the Musicians Institute chose to create a special award on his behalf, that of "P.I.T. Unique
Individual Stylist". " Musicians
Institute, February 25, 1993.
"I got to know Kostas as a drummer very well, particularly during the last six months of his
program, primarily because I taught classes that allowed the students to participate in class.
What he was able to demonstrate went far beyond what I was teaching, or what his peers were
able to conceive. In fact, upon graduation, he received the Unique
Individual Stylist Award, voted on
by the P.I.T. faculty, and passed a special Vocational playing test with very high marks. I can
say without hesitation that Kostas possesses a special talent that must be seen and heard to be
fully appreciated. He can bring magic to a set of ordinary drums. His techniqal prowess and
broad stylistic range lead one to believe that in a very short time, Kosta will be renowned and
world famous musician and teacher..." Ralph Humphrey, Pit Department Head of the Percussion
