I’ve been a percussionist since I was 8 years old. For those who are unfamiliar with the term, I’m a drummer.
A man named Levi Rock handed me a pair of Ludwig 3S laminated drumsticks. Although I didn’t know it at the time, the trajectory of my life was set. He then said, “Hey Bill … strap a drum on this kid and take him outside and teach him to play para-diddles, triplets and shave and a hair cut.” Bill Buck, still a dearest friend to this day, nodded and I followed him into “the cage,” the equipment room for the Kankakee Challengers Drum & Bugle Corps.
