Tommy Lee, love him or hate him…

By On August 18, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I haven’t talked too much about drummers or music in a while. But I came across this video teaser for Motley Crue’s own Tommy Lee and his crazy new spin (literally) on drum solos.

Seriously, love him or hate him, you cannot deny the man is unique and totally, 100% undeniably INSANE.

Who else would [...]

Passing on the passion

This weekend, I took my 9 year-old son Remy to get his first guitar. He started guitar lessons with my boy JT from Dull Boy Jack last week and seemed really pumped to play guitar and learn the instrument. Of course for me, there is something far larger and more satisfying to this [...]

While I was blissfully hiking over this past weekend, the music world and more specifically, the world of drummers lost a truly gifted player named Richie Hayward.

iPhone’s are fun

By On July 26, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Last week at my weekly Dull Boy Jack rehearsal I thought I’d experiment with my iPhone.

Propped it up behind me (though the angle turned out to be a little odd) and came up with this performance for “Hoochie Koochie Man”.

Glad to be gigging in the sun again

Been a while since I got to play outdoors but this summer is shaping up nicely. Kicked off summer with a Closed Captioned gig this past weekend at Bethany Vineyards in Ridgefield, Washington.

We played 3 long sets to many drinkers of wine and consumers of buffet food. Was perfect weather, 70 degrees [...]

Dull Boy Jack, rolling into 2010

By On January 16, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Back in November of 2009, my band Bull Boy Jack came up with a cool idea to help market ourselves. We set up at Quiet Life Productions in Vancouver, Washington (owned by our good friend Keith Laurent) and filmed a live rehearsal. Of course we gussied up the studio a bit and vibed it out [...]
