- About Me:
- First show that I saw was "Jackie Wilson" at age 12. The drummer that night was Rufus "Speedy" Jones. That tripped me out. The next drummer that I saw was Maurice White, playing for Ramsey Lewis. I was done. Next was James Brown, Clyde and Jabo and one drummer that seemed to have slipped through the cracks was Nate Jones. (Popcorn) Not to mention the local drummers I thought were awesome, Larry Ross, Robert Trezvant, Maurice Heygood and Jackie Morton. All of these guys inspired me in my formative years and started a life long quest to be "one of the guys". Went into the military and seemed to have played everywhere I went. Stayed in LA and pursued the music game as a studio musician. Played on a couple of hit records as well as formed a recording band. The inspiration didn't stop with those guys, along came "Billy Cobham", "Alphonse Mouzon", "Lenny White", "Ndugu Chancelor" and "Dennis Chambers". Dennis, after the Beverly Theater Show with P-Funk, I knew I had work to do. Thanks my brother. I found it necessary to meet the guys that were working to get as much information about the drums to further boost my career. How lucky could I be. I met "James Gatson" and "Melvin Webb" two Kansas City cats that took me under their wings and showed me the way. Best five years and a half years. I am forever thankful for them, all of them. Looking back, there were a lot of guys that I thank for taking the time just to talk to me. To name a few, Louie Bellson, thanks for the summer of 92 and 94, added logs to the fire. Harvey Mason, Jeff "Tain" Watts, I tripped when I saw you at one of the Fro Brother gigs and at the Tonight Show. Barry Chenault, I thought you were sick when I first heard you. I was right....Those that I can't think of right now, much respect and lotsa love to you all. Thanks Poogie.
