Hi everyone,
I'll be giving a clinic and concert (co-sponsored by Vic Firth and Yamaha) at the Conservatory in Paris (18th District) on Thursday, May 7th starting at 7 P.M. The concert will feature mallet player Philippe Mace and me in a duo format performing originals and standards. Clinic topics will include: The Fulcrum Grip, Pedaling, Dampening, Sticking Concepts, Jazz Improvisation, Comping and Solo Playing.
