2. eric olson
My name is Eric Olson and I am 21 years old. I have been playing drums for roughly 12 years. My home base is Boston and I have played session on many projects from pop to jazz to rock some of which are listed in the about section of this page.
I play every and any style possible. My most recent project was a pop band called the Greg Schuler Band which I played in along with playing in the rock band thirdshift. However, I have played in 16 piece jazz bands, in power pop trios, in a punk band, and I have recorded with many bands of many styles.
In the music section of the page I have listed various projects I have played in and some links to the most recent mp3s. Please contact me if you think I can be of use to you in a session project or if you are in need of a drummer for a band ...

Peter Erskine began playing the drums at the age of four, and has now been at the forefront of world-class jazz ensembles for thirty years. His first major professional work was with the Stan Kenton Orchestra, which he joined in 1972. After a three year stint with Kenton and a two year stay with Maynard Ferguson, he joined Weather Report in 1978. The excellence of the partnership between Erskine and bassist Jaco Pastorius was an integral part of that group's success.
Following his 4 years in Weather Report (having recorded five albums with them including the Grammy Award winning "8:30"), he began to play with Mike Brecker, Mike Mainieri, Don Grolnick and Eddie Gomez in the group Steps Ahead . His other touring and recording credits (400 albums) include Steely Dan, Diana Krall, Chick Corea, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Gary Burton & Pat Metheny, Joni Mitchell, Kurt Elling, Sadao Watanabe, Eliane Elias, Mike Stern, Miroslav Vitous and Jan Garbarek; the BBC Symphony Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Ensemble, Ensemble Modern, the ASKO, Avanti & Absolute Ensembles; "Bass Desires " (with John Scofield, Bill Frisell, and Marc Johnson), the John Abercrombie Trio, the Kenny Wheeler Quintet & Big Band , the Bob Mintzer Big Band , the Yellowjackets as well as his own groups, including Trios with John Taylor, Palle Danielsson, Rita Marcotulli, and his current band with Alan Pasqua and Dave Carpenter ...

Online biography of drummer Joshua Jacobsen.
The first percussive sounds began with card board boxes, ice cream buckets, and old pans. Joshua, a mostly self taught musician at the age of 13 had realized his dream to become a drummer and pursued it.
Joshua began his first musical learning career in the musical setting at the Benton Community Middle / High School. At BC he performed in Jazz Band, Pep Band, Marching Band, Show Choir, Musicals, Concert Band, and even Concert Choir as a percussionist. He received numerous honors in Jazz band at Eastern Iowa Contests. One of the most notable awards is the most outstanding performance and Solo award presented by N.E.I.B.A. (North Eastern Iowa Bandmasters Association). Joshua has for over 8 years and is currently the drummer for the Billy K. Murray Parade & Concert Band based out of Atkins, Iowa.
The problem with high school was finding a band of his own. Since the school was a community school of about 400 people, there were few serious musicians interested in a rock band. As a result, A large amount of time and free time was devoted to focusing on technique and skills of various percussion instruments.
Upon enrolling at Iowa State University, Joshua begins to seek out musicians in order to fill the musical band void he had desperately craved throughout his life. Unfortunately, as a result of college dorm life Joshua was forced to abandon his drums and leave them to sit unbeaten at his childhood home. Practicing on pillows, boxes, trash cans, & Dorm Chairs with various acoustic guitarists in the dorm was his only way to practice and continue to develop as a drummer.
Joshua's first band was born in 2001. Mechanistry, a progressive rock group that surprised the local scene with a totally new sound and technically advanced musicians was born. Mechanistry performed throughout Iowa for 2 years. Unfortunately, it was inevitable that it would not succeed as guitar and singer turnover was high. The loss of drive to continue finding and training new members and no practice place, ultimately ended the group.
After the first year of playing with Mechanistry, Josh began playing with a local band named Atrophy. Atrophy was a simpler style of music that won over the bar crowd and nearly anyone that listened to the group. They also had the chance to open for Momento (Sony Records label). Atrophy is still performing today. A full length album is due out by 2005.
Today Josh is actively performing in the Des Moines based Heavy Metal band, Anubyss! He has also bridged over into the studio & recording realm as a Drum Technician at the Dawg House Recording Studio based in Nevada, IA and been sharing his knowledge and style through drum lessons since 2003 ...

Master studio, live drummer, and solo artist Gregg Bissonette has played with beloved rock, jazz & pop artists. Browse his discography, gear, projects, tours, drum lessons & even get Gregg recording with you! Gregg was born on June 9th, 1959, in Detroit Michigan USA. His mom and dad are both musicians.....his dad Bud Bissonette plays drums (and now has been Gregg's in town LA drum tech for recording sessions and live gigs since 1989,) and his mom Phyllis plays piano and vibes. They used to have a band that played around Detroit, and now live in Los Angeles. Gregg has a younger brother named Matt , and a younger sister named Kathy.
Gregg started playing on his dad's drums at about age 5. His dad was his first teacher ...showing him various ideas on the drums set. He started taking private rudimental snare drum lessons at age 10 with a local teacher in Warren Michigan named Bob Yarborough. Bob also started Gregg on reading drum set music at age 11. He also started taking private trumpet lessons at the same age from Jim Ruffner.
In the Warren Michigan Wildwood Elementary School Band he would trade off
between drums and trumpet. His trumpet hero was always Maynard Ferguson.
Gregg had a great desire to play drums for Maynard's band someday. (This wish came true in 1982, after graduation from North Texas State University, when Gregg became the drummer for Maynard Ferguson's Big Band, which already included his brother Matt on bass.)
At age 14 in junior high school, Gregg started a band with Matt called "Today's People" (wow...how 70's!!!!) This band was inspired by their jr. high stage band or jazz band under the direction of Jerry Hasspatcher, who was also a drummer. The band members were Gregg on drums, Matt on bass, Lee Ann Herold on guitar, Carl Munteen on sax and flute, Burt Snover on trombone, and one of their best pals who lived down the street from them on Shady Drive, Jeff
