-------------------------------------------------
Hi there,

I'm „wuestentrommler“, living in the Sultanate of Oman. I work as „head of percussion“ for the royal guard's military school of music, teaching symphonic percussion to my students, currently 9 men and 10 ladies, all Omanis.

Invitation Slow by Tony Miceli

I was thinking about my post to Dimitri today and I started thinking about practicing slow.

I remembered that on tunes like Invitation it's really cool because you can get into all these harmonic worlds. If you take your time, let the sounds get out there and listen inside and see where you go with it, you can find new 'worlds'. We ALL have this internal thing that tells what's up and hit that chord now, and oops that should have been the entrance to the tune.

Stable Mates by Tony Miceli (Philly makes great drummers!)

Check out Justin Faulkner. He's 18 years old and plays like he's 40 and has already played all over the world.

This is Philly to me. His feel is so happening. He swings his ass of and he's so musical.

He's on his way to Berklee, so look out Boston. He's already playing with Branford.

I was lucky to play with him right before he left for school.

I think of him as the new Ari Honeg. To me he plays at that level.
