Dom Famularo As drummer, drum teacher, author, clinician and motivational speaker, Dom is the perfect host for any drum event.
Simon Phillips Simon is one of today\'s most prominent drummers with his precise, creative and dramatic style. He worked with many artists, including Jeff Beck,
The Who and Mick Jagger.
After Jeffrey Porcaro died in 1992 Simon was asked as touring drummer for Toto\'s Kingdom Of Desire World Tour. He was the first and only drummer that the band contacted. It did not take long before the band asked him as their regular sticksman.
Gregg Bissonette Born in a family of musicians, Gregg started learning to play the drums at age 5 from his father.
After graduating from North Texas State University he joined the Maynard Ferguson Big Band.
During the \'80s Gregg relocated to Los Angeles and grew out to a popular session drummer. He worked with Santana, Joe Satriani, Hans Zimmer, Tania Maria and Brian Wilson among many others.
