drummer:
I've been playing drums for about 23 years.
I've studied privately for about 3/4 of that time. But not always
in that time signature. (musician humor)
Over the years,
I've studied privately with John Smith (Really), Tim Egan, Charlie
Blanchette, Ed Kaspic, Steve Wilkes, and Dave DiCenso.
I played in various bands in and out of school from elementary through
High school including a big band orchestra called Swing Teens.
I attended Berklee College of Music from the Fall of 92' through the
Spring of 93' At Berklee I studied with Steve Wilkes, Larry Finn, Alan Hall,

I am versed in most styles of music and can adapt to
almost any situation musically and personally ...

Billy Cobham's Official Web Site.
Only a few times in history has a musician been singled out as the world-class master of his instrument. Billy Cobham is one of those few artists. For over 30 years, he has received international acclaim as the total consummate percussionist.
The legendary Billy Cobham, with his matchless, dazzling, ambidextrous skills as a drummer, has applied the same insistent fervor to his long list of monumental achievements. He’s an accomplished composer and record producer.
It is a rarely known fact that he was at the forefront of the electronic music industry and it’s development through Jazz. He was one of the first percussionists, along with Max Roach and Tony
Williams to utilize the Electronic Drum Controller made in 1968 by the Meazzi Drum Company in Milano, Italy while on concert tour with Horace Silver in Europe. He is one of the few Percussionists, specializing in the Jazz drum set to lead his own band. The award winning Cobham has custom designed trend setting acoustic and electronic drum sets and has endorsed products that he created and refined ...

Steve Bowman:
I try to capture the "spirit" of a song by listening to the lyric, melody, progression and tempo, and by working with the songwriter, producer or band to find the best parts, tones and feel for the track.
Phil Collins once said "If the drum track is solid everything else seems intentional." He's right.
My favorite drummers are Ringo, Mick Fleetwood, Bun E Carlos, Steve Jordan, John Bonham... I also love Jeff Lynn's drum production. And Steve Gadd's ghost notes, and Karen Carpenter's voice (AND drumming)...
I am located in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Sometimes a simple change can make a big difference. Maybe you have a song that's missing something or a great song that isn't working live. Maybe you have stalled out on a song you think has potential.
Maybe I can hear something you are missing.
Great songs are a must, but you have to play them well too. Combining attitudes, egos, skill levels, and musical preferences are all part of the challenge we face when creating a band. Sometimes it takes hard work for players to gel together.
I can save you time (and pain) by working with your band to identify any weak spots in the songs or the set as a whole. Whether you are trying to improve your live show or preparing to record, I can help your band groove better, play more dynamically, and try to get everyone "playing for the song".

Born in Quebec, Stéphane is developing his professional career from various aspects: Educator, Clinician, Musician and Author. He remembers always being fascinated by and attracted to the drums. He studied with many professors from the Quebec City area, and at the Conservatory of Music in Quebec.
After having seen an animated drum clinic given by legendary Dom Famularo, there was no doubt that he wanted to play drums for a living, because it was his passion. He chose to organize his life for drumming work.
Since 1999, he studied (and keeps on studying) with the best drumming educators: Long Island (Dom Famularo, Jim Chapin, John Favicchia); New York (Bobby Sanabria, Billy Ward, Robby Ameen); New Jersey, (John Riley, Joe Bergamini) and Toronto (Paul DeLong, Rick Gratton, Jeff Salem).
In 2000, he was awarded a grant from Foundation CHABOU and a Merit Certificate from the Town of Quebec. In 2002, he obtained a grant from The Council of Arts of Canada as a professional artist in the continuation of improvement. In 2003, he was the recipient of the Larrie London Percussive Art Society Scholarship of The P.A.S. ...

Originaire de Québec, Stéphane développe sa carrière professionnelle sous différents aspects soit en tant que Professeur, Clinicien, Musicien et Auteur. Du plus loin qu'il se rappelle, Stéphane a toujours été fasciné et attiré par la batterie. Il étudia en cours privés avec des professeurs de la région et au Conservatoire de musique de Québec.
Après avoir vue une Clinique de batterie animée par le légendaire Dom Famularo, de passage à Québec pour cet événement, il fit un choix réfléchi. La batterie était ce qu'il voulait dans sa vie; c'était sans aucun doute ce que Stephane voulait : Vivre pour jouer car c'est ce qu'il le rendait le plus heureux. Il choisit d'organiser sa vie selon son travail et non pas pour le contraire car c'était là sa passion.
Depuis 1999, il continue d'étudier avec les meilleurs professeurs de Long Island (Dom Famularo, Jim Chapin, John Favicchia), de New York (Bobby Sanabria, Billy Ward, Robby Amenn), du New Jersey (Joe Bergamini) et de Toronto (Paul DeLong, John Riley, Rick Gratton, Jeff Salem).
Gagnant d'une bourse de la Fondation Chabou et d'un Certificat au mérite de la Ville de Québec en 2000; Boursier du Conseil des Arts du Canada en tant qu'artiste professionnel dans la poursuite de son perfectionnement en 2002; Gagnant de la Bourse américaine Larrie London du Percussive Art Society (PAS) en 2003.
À l'automne 2002, il crée sa propre entreprise DrumChamber Production qui offre différents services reliés à la batterie. De plus, en association avec Dom Famularo il démarre le Wizdom DrumShed de Québec, école spécialisée de batterie. Son talent, sa dynamique et son expérience se reflètent sur sa façon d'enseigner et complémentarise sa relation élève/professeur ...

4. gene jackson
Drummer Gene Jackson's website features biography, itinerary, photo gallery, discography, equipment setup, etc ...
Jazz musicians all over the world are likely to be aware of drummer Gene Jackson's talent and expressive performances. While Roy Haynes, Philly Joe Jones, Elvin Jones, Billy Higgins, and Tony Williams were some of his drumming influences, Jackson has a style that can change in accordance to what genre of music he plays. His ability to range from African to Latin to Cool rhythms have afforded Jackson the opportunity to be recommended by dozens of eminent musicians since his career took off 15 years ago. Jackson was born October 16, 1961 in West Philadelphia, Pa. Though he grew up as an only child, Jackson began to focus on music with the help of his guardian's grandson, Greg McDonald who played the drums. "(Greg) would have rehearsals with a band of excellent musicians, which helped inspire me early on," Jackson said.
In 1979, Jackson, who had the ambition to become a professional drummer as soon as he picked up the sticks, went to Boston to attend the well-renowned Berklee College of Music. In the five years Gene spent at Berklee, he counted among his peers and classmates: Walter Beasley, Branford Marsalis, Mark Whitfield, Monty Croft, Donald Harrison, Cindy Blackman, Terri Lynn Carrington, Billy Kilson, Jeff "Tain" Watts, Marvin Smitty Smith, Cyrus Chestnut, Danilo Perez, Dave Kakowski, Jovan Jackson, to name a few. Jackson also lived in an apartment with saxophonist Branford Marsalis, with whom he had established a good friendship. When Branford moved to New York City, fellow drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith became Gene's roommate ...
