Description
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! ...
New York All State Orchestra 1974
Performed with Cosmopolitan Symphony in Alice Tully Hall- Gerald Swartz conductor
Recording sessions with Marty Henne and Jeff Ganz- several singers including Barbara Smith(Cover Girl model and restaurant owner) and Donna Pescow(Saturday Night Fever, Angie Show, Out of this World). Donna later got Geri and I in for taping of her TV show in L.A. -sat next to Sarah Purcell.
Worked in collaboration with Composer- Jazz Pianist- Mary Lou Williams for performance of "Mary Lou's Mass" at the Interchurch Center, 155th St., New York,NY I got Chip Watterson to play guitar,Kenny Kirkland to play piano and Cecil McBee,Jr. to play bass(1976).
Jim Priess sounded myself and Joe Aebig to rehearse with Steve Reich Ensemble for a work in progress(1978).
assembled an entire volunteer orchestra of MSM students to record two pop arrangements for Doug Hoefer, Larry Wolf, Dave Signorelli, Bill Bebee( Speakeasy). A huge learning experience! ...

Mike Orris Jr,official website, drummer.
Mike Orris, Jr. was born on July 16th, 1985 in Reno, Nevada. His early childhood was filled with inspiration from his Father who would practice in front of him on an old Ludwig drum set. His aspirations grew more and more for the instrument and by the time when he was forced to live with his Aunt and Uncle when he was a young child, the drums came right along with him. At the age of nine he had the drums set up in a converted garage in the back of his parent's house. With no schooling and a natural feel for music Mike progressed rather quickly and was playing with an extreme metal band by the time he was ten years old.
As well as his love for drumming Mike found an interest in playing the guitar and the bass and quickly came to understand the instruments and began writing music. His first performance with an original band was when he was thirteen years old and since then he has been performing, recording, and achieving his goals. At the age of thirteen Mike began to practice on a regimented schedule and learned the fundamentals that he skipped over in the previous years which included diversifying his capabilities and styles, learning rudiments, listening to great drummers and musicians, etc. He states that his knowledge and skill of other instruments has definitely helped his playing in all aspects because he can feel, sense, and understand where the other musicians are coming from within a musical situation. He believes that it makes his playing flow more easily and more freely when playing with others ...
