luc bergeron
Description
Luc Bergeron is a Westbrook, Maine-based drummer.
Luc Bergeron, originally from Lewiston, Maine, comes from a family of musicians and singers on both his mother's and father's sides, but is the only one in the family who had any interest in drumming. After much begging and pleading he was finally given a used drum set when he turned 12. His first formal lessons were with regionally well-known drummer and teacher Dick Demers.
Luc was a founding member of the rock band "Symmetry" while still in high school, which in 1986 recorded a demo that snagged national management (Fred Lewis - ex-mgr for "The Cars"), received radio airplay in Maine and Massachusetts, and generated major record label interest. The band played extensively through New England. After he left Symmetry in 1988, he spent a while wondering what he was going to do with his life, and decided to attend the University of Southern Maine as an English major during the fall semester of 1989. When he saw master drummer Steve Smith (Journey, Vital Information, sessions artist) in the spring of 1990 at a concert at the University of Maine in Augusta, it moved him to get serious about music, and so attended UMA's nationally known Jazz and Contemporary Music program ...

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".
