2nd Annual Portland Drum Fair

Last weekend my son & I attended this great event. Many super cool vintage drums to see & purchase,(or drool over), if you will. I walked outta there with some brand new DW hardware, couple drum heads, & a vintage Premier stand thrown in for free,(was told it was the style K. Moon used-Who knew?;) So as we arrived later in the day missing several very cool clinicians, the highlight of our day was the Daniel Glass clinic. Best known as the drummer for Royal Crown Review, he has recently(last several years), taken ion the very honorable task of bringing drumming history to the mass',(like me). He has two great books out which cover both technique & historical facts that take many a moon to discover. I did answer one question at the clinic correctly to receive a free DW hat-Kick Ass! Of course there are tons of Youtube vids up of him playing and clinics. You can take a quick look at my channel-drumming4iam1970 to see some of what I captured from the clinic. The guys amazing on this shit so if you love drums, as we all do...you gotta check his stuff out. The whole event was put on by two local Portland drum shops-Revival Drums & Rhythm Traders. Both appear to be very cool shops to me. Stay tuned for more drum-talk,(and yes music stuff as well;)...
