A practical guide to building your dream kit with Gibraltar Hardware.
Samantha is currently working with Brother Clyde. She has also performed with Shift, Hole, Motley Crue, Eagle of Death Metal, Peaches, The Crystal Method, and Chelsea Girls.
She chose a Gibraltar rack because of the quality of the brand and she will not need to worry now about cymbal placement. And her drum tech will love it too!
Her advice for aspiring musicians: Learn your rudiments. Learn how to read music. Practice to your favorite album. Wear earplugs!!
Noisecreep.com has a post by Frank Zummo reporting that he was thrilled to fill in for Tommy Lee during Crüe Fest 2 in August. Lee was recovering from a hand injury and was unable to play.
I was thrilled and freaking! We got to work immediately with me taking copious notes from ‘Coach Lee.’ Since the next day was an off-day for the band, I holed up in my Virginia Beach hotel room with the set list and music to prepare to play the entire ‘Dr. Feelgood’ album and other seminal hits. Once the curtain dropped, exposing the stage, we were off! It was like being in a surreal dream and I played my heart out, loving every second of it.
Longtime Motley Crue friend and fan, Frank Zummo of Interscope Records’ S.D.C. (Street Drum Corps) will be playing with the legendary rockers on their 8/21 Virginia Beach, VA, 8/22 Bristow, VA, 8/23 Raleigh, NC , 8/27 West Palm Beach, FL and 8/28 Tampa, FL shows.
Zummo is filling in for Tommy Lee who is nursing a hand injury. Says Zummo, “The first concert I ever saw was Motley Crue when I was a kid, and I’ve been a big fan ever since. It is a huge honor to drum with one of the greatest rock bands, and filling in for Tommy will be one of the most amazing experiences of my life!”
When not drumming with Motley Crue, Zummo is in the studio with band mates Bobby Alt and Adam Alt working on S.D.C.’s debut double album due out early 2010.
