"I have to change, it's like a curse"
"An artist's first responsibility is to himself"
- Miles Davis

It is my privilege to announce a few new events in my life, one of which is co-owning a percussion education center/drum store located at 2434 E Main St., Ventura, CA., and is actually an expansion of  Pulse Drumming. My partner Kim Brower and I are expanding from 2800 to 4000 sq. feet of pure percussion! We feature state of the art private lesson rooms, clinics, masterclasses and performance ensembles along with an arsenal of the world's finest musician/instructors such as, Frank Briggs, the Grammy nominated artist, master pedagogue and author of the bestselling "Complete Guide to Modern Drumset", Jim Christie of Dwight Yokam, Lucinda Williams, etc., Austin Wrinkle of Hands On'semble and PLOTZ, Roland Martinez, Drum Corps. Aficionado and the DW Quality Assurance Finish Specialist, and Darryl Johnson of Led Zepplica and founder of Square Drums Co. We house the finest products available - Sonor, DW, Istanbul Agop, Aquarian, Sabian, Evans, Vic Firth, Pro Mark, Xymox, Ahead, and a plethora of our favorite things percussive. We sell the  products that our instructors endorse. We are close to scheduling a Grand Opening Gala event with guest artist performances.....details to follow. Please check out our newly updated website www.pulsedrumming.com.

To have my own instructors and friends beside me is a true blessing, more so is the gift my wife and I are preparing for: our first child Tara Joy, due in August.WOW...when its raining it can really deluge  allsorts!

Pulse Drumming is also fortunate to have been asked to host a local radio show devoted exclusively to our percussive content on Wednesdays from 6-7pm on 1400 am radio in the Ventura/North LA County area to promote interest in education and outreach in our local community. Please be a part of it with us by checking in often for news and updates!
