When I read my "Baby book" that my parents had prepared for me,
it said that at the age of three years old I was humming all
the guitar solos to the music they would play on the radio etc.
I guess it started way back then. I have always had an intense
passion for music, but gladly i didn't pursue the guitar..haha
My brother and I recieved our first drumkit in about 1978.
With brotherhood comes competitiveness, and we both pushed
each other to improve and out-play the other.
My brother, Trent Bryson-Dean is an amazing drummer now by any standard.
Anyways, we destroyed our first drumkit pretty quickly, leaving me
to play many an hour on a beanbag we had in our loungeroom,
whilst listening to music such as Led Zeppelin or the Police
with headphones on.
We finally got another drumkit in about 1983. What a wait that was!
I had figured many things out without a drumkit and things came
very naturally to me on my new blue Tama Swingstars.
Two years of hard practice and I was in my first Rock N' Roll band.
I haven't looked back ever since!
At first I was totally a rock pig, but my entire idea of the drums
changed when i heard the Chick Corea album "Inside Out".
Dave Weckl's playing was something i had never experienced
and I was forever destined to be a fusion musician after hearing "Inside Out" ...

Become a Better Drummer - Jamie Kuijpers of Australia holds professional drum clinics to inspire and motivate drummers.
I was born 21st of May, 1971 as James Kuijpers (although I was only EVER called James when I was being told off! - Jamie is what it turned into). I started playing music when I was just 5 years of age, beginning with guitar and throughout my teenage years I performed in cover and original bands and created lots of music (or in some cases noise!!). Whilst at high school I was shown how to play a VERY basic 4/4 beat on a kit and suddenly my desire to play percussion grew and a new hobby was born.
While spending a number of years (13 to be exact!) working in the music retail industry and teaching private guitar students, I found that I began to play more and more kit and less guitar. Then, when I left the retail industry to work with Music Link (Australian distributors for Pearl, Zildjian and loads of other brands), I finally made drums my main instrument and continued to perform regularly in the Adelaide music scene. I have spent the past 5 years working with the worlds leading musical instrument manufactures including, Pearl, Zildjian, Latin Percussion, Remo, and Vic Firth. In that time I have had an amazing opportunity to travel the world, meet and learn from some of today’s finest musicians and business people including Karl Lewis of Savage Garden, Terrepia Richmond of The Whitlams, John Otto of Limp Bizkit, Virgil Donati, Steve Smith, Grant Collins, Dom Famularo, Alejandro Vega, Vic Firth, Debbie Zildjian and Remo Belli ...
