Mike Dolbear’s UDE

by admin on August 2, 2010

Darren and I poppoed up on Monday of last week to the Mike Dolbear Ultimate Drum Experience. We sat with Mike and chatted about the details for the London drum show masterclasses and caught up with some old friends.

The Dolbear Drum Jam session on Monday night featured a host of stellar players, including Stanton Moore, Geoff Dunn, Geoff Dugmore and UK session legend Clem Cattini.

The groove was happening, to say the least.

RhythmMatters Column Update

by admin on August 2, 2010

Due to a scheduling conflict and a bit of internal miscommunication, Bass Guitar Magazine has run the first RhythmMatters column, but Drummer magazine has it slotted in for next month!

We regret this unfortunate mis-match and are currently deciding whether or not to launch the eBooks and mp3s on the site or to hang back and launch them next month, when Drummer will run a double – lesson, enabling us to catch up and sync the lessons.

I’m making good use of the time to touch up some of the mixes and make sure that the tracks sound great.

Bear with me on this one – we’ll make a move on it by the end of the week.
