Kevin Twigg, drummer:
I was born and raised on the south shore of Long Island, NY in 1956. My parents were Brooklyn born, and moved out to the suburbs on the the heels of the Levitown craze. I have 3 sisters and a brother. My brother moved to Florida with my folks, but the rest of us live within 20 minutes of where we were raised. I guess we liked the sunny south shore!
My earliest drumming memories are of Holiday parades and the swing records that my father listened to. Those drums really touched my soul! I would get great adreneline rushes when I heard the power of the drums. By the second grade, I started banging on laundry hampers that I turned upside.
At the end of the third grade, the band teacher was recruiting students for the next year. 30 future drummers showed up to get the opportunity to bounce each individual (borrowed) stick on the drum three times.That was the first time I ever played a real drum. MAN, WAS I HOOKED!!!!! The teachers name was George Raynor, and he was a true bandsmith. For concerts he would dress up in a Sousa-like uniform, and when he lifted his baton, he got respect! ...

Drummer and jazz icon Chico Hamilton's official website .
CHICO HAMILTON had his first brush with Hollywood in 1957. Riding high on the popularity of his adventurous quintet of the time reedist/flutist Paul Horn, bassist Carson Smith, cellist Fred Katz, guitarist John Pisano - he and the band were case in Sweet Smell of Success, a gritty black-and-white film about a ruthless Walter Winchell-style York City tabloid-gossip columnist, J.J. Hunsecker, played by a dour Burt Lancaster, who wields his power like a club. The plot of this sharp-edged media satire thickens when J.J.'s younger sister, played by Susan Harrison, begins dating the clean-cut young jazz guitarist in the Chico Hamilton Quintet, Steve Dallas, played by Martin Milner.
The film was a landmark for its time, a model of street-smart cinematic cynicism that preceded Network by almost 20 years. And in choosing the Chico Hamilton Quintet as its in-house group for the nightclub scenes, the filmmakers not only demonstrated unusually hip taste in music, they also proved to be quite progressive in depicting an interracial band on-screen. But then, the Chico Hamilton Quintet had always been progressive in that regard since its inception in 1955: the original lineup featured guitarist Jim Hall, reedist Buddy Collette, bassist Carson Smith and cellist Fred Katz.
"Being a mixed group was not too cool out there at that time," Hamilton says in his penthouse apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side. "We played our first gigs at a club on the boardwalk in Long Beach, which at that time was really redneck country. Plus the fact that the kind of music we played was so different made it a very unique, almost unheard of experience. But man, it worked."
As word of mouth spread about the new band playing a savvy brand of chamber-jazz on the boardwalk in Long Beach, the in-crowd soon followed. And gradually the nature of the club itself changed dramatically. "The first gig we had, man, you wouldn't believe. There was nothing but sailors and sawdust on the floor. You couldn't get no funkier than this joint. And can you imagine us going in there with a cello, flute, guitar, bass and drums? We had the gig for a week and that turned into two weeks and then went on into three weeks. Next thing we know, people were coming in from LA to check us out. Within a month, the whole thing changed around. They remodeled this place: and it looked great. The joint was packed every night" ...

David Oromaner, information, music, photos, bio, equipment, discography.
Known for his versatility, vibrant live energy, and musical malleability, David Oromaner has entered the realm of New York City's in-demand drummers. His diverse background as a musician ranges from live performances, studio sessions and recording dates, to Carnegie-Hall neighborhood clinics, Cabarets, and finally to teaching his craft.
Growing up in the suburbs of Long Island, David was constantly surrounded by music. "My earliest musical memories are of my older cousin Richard playing drums in his basement for hours. There was just something about being surrounded by sound—a raw, primal energy that instantly got me hooked." Adding to the fire was David's musically obsessed older brother, who would blast Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, and Pink Floyd from his boom box, which was set at no less than an "11." In addition to influences seeping in from his bedroom wall, David was also discovering classical and jazz on his own. The objects of his admiration included Basie, Roach, Bonham, Bruford, Peart, and John Williams. The combination of all these influences helped shape David as a drummer, which he became at the early age of eleven, when he inherited his cousin's drums.
However, from ages 10 to 17, David's main instrument was trumpet. David attented Wantagh High School, where he studied theory and jazz improvisation under the tutelage of Rolann Masciarelli. As a senior he was awarded the prestigious' Louis Armstrong Jazz Award.' In addition to trumpet studies, David pursued private drum lessons at the Long Island Drum Center with a great teacher and fusion drummer named Dave Stark. David then went on to pursue both business and music at SUNY Albany, where he studied with percussionist Richard Abagli and jazz drummer Dave Calarco.
After college, David relocated to Atlanta, Georgia. One of the first musicians he met was guitarist Dan Marshall, who had recently opened the doors to his studio in Little Five Points, called 'Levelheads.' David began laying down live,' pre-produced' drum tracks at the studio in order to develop recording techniques and sounds. Eventually, he garnered the attention of various Atlanta based singer/songwriters who needed drum tracks for their LPs and demos ...
