Description
Vicotr Indrizzo:
Sessions drummer.
Not only is Victor one of the best sessions drummers there is, he also does song writing and music production too!
I discovered this talented musician when Dave Gahan came out with his solo cd "Paper Monsters". I saw them in concert and was amazed at how much fun Victor seems to have when he is performing. Then I caught him on an old Saturday Night Live show with Beck. Man this guy can play! So I started listening to some of the cds he has appeared on. I discovered all kinds of good music. If you have not heard of Victor check out my other pages.
Be sure to check out the Discography page to see the wide variety of music he has done.I bet you will find some very familiar artists!

Master studio, live drummer, and solo artist Gregg Bissonette has played with beloved rock, jazz & pop artists. Browse his discography, gear, projects, tours, drum lessons & even get Gregg recording with you! Gregg was born on June 9th, 1959, in Detroit Michigan USA. His mom and dad are both musicians.....his dad Bud Bissonette plays drums (and now has been Gregg's in town LA drum tech for recording sessions and live gigs since 1989,) and his mom Phyllis plays piano and vibes. They used to have a band that played around Detroit, and now live in Los Angeles. Gregg has a younger brother named Matt , and a younger sister named Kathy.
Gregg started playing on his dad's drums at about age 5. His dad was his first teacher ...showing him various ideas on the drums set. He started taking private rudimental snare drum lessons at age 10 with a local teacher in Warren Michigan named Bob Yarborough. Bob also started Gregg on reading drum set music at age 11. He also started taking private trumpet lessons at the same age from Jim Ruffner.
In the Warren Michigan Wildwood Elementary School Band he would trade off
between drums and trumpet. His trumpet hero was always Maynard Ferguson.
Gregg had a great desire to play drums for Maynard's band someday. (This wish came true in 1982, after graduation from North Texas State University, when Gregg became the drummer for Maynard Ferguson's Big Band, which already included his brother Matt on bass.)
At age 14 in junior high school, Gregg started a band with Matt called "Today's People" (wow...how 70's!!!!) This band was inspired by their jr. high stage band or jazz band under the direction of Jerry Hasspatcher, who was also a drummer. The band members were Gregg on drums, Matt on bass, Lee Ann Herold on guitar, Carl Munteen on sax and flute, Burt Snover on trombone, and one of their best pals who lived down the street from them on Shady Drive, Jeff
Trax on trumpet ...

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 ...

Roxy Music Drummer Paul Thompson official Home Page - including - Biography, discography ,equipment and influences, plus guestbook.
Paul was born in Newcastle on 13th May 1951 and went to live in Jarrow at the age of six months .He attended West Simonside infants and junior school, "I remember the music lessons in the infants,there were drums ,triangles,bells ,tambourines etc, I always wanted to try the drum, but never got picked , so one day I waited until everyone left the classroom ,I slung the drum over my shoulder and rattled out a tune, thats when I knew I could play !".
"A meccano set,cardboard boxes,and biscuit tins,along with an aptitude for making things, developed into my first drum kit. I used to play along to records,The Beatles,The Stones and the Tornado's,I hadn't yet developed enough mechanical skill to make a bass drum pedal , so I used to stamp on the floor!".
"At the tender age of eleven I persuaded my parents to let me buy a drum, I'd spotted it in a neighbours catalogue, it was called a Kat-Kit, a 14"x3" snare with calf heads and a 10" cymbal on an arm attached to the stand, still no bass drum , still stamping on the floor,but I did manage to join a band " Johnny Blue & The Blue Boys" they were called".
School days :- "sometimes ended up going round to a friends house( Bryan Luke) to play on his old antiquated kit, he did have a bass drum though, and I did learn a lot, playing along to Bobby Elliot and the Hollies ...

Scott Bender, drummer:
I moved from Seattle, Washington to Las Vegas, Nevada in July 2000. I have played everything from Classical, Top-40, Heavy Metal, Disco, Punk & Marching Band.
Some of the drummers I look up to are :
I would say my natural style of playing is like Steven Adler (Gun`s `n Roses), Mark Michals (Faster Pussycat), Steve Riley (L.A. Guns/W.A.S.P.), and Garth (Wayne`s World)... OK, I am just kidding on the last one! But hey, "I Like to Play".
