such a good and positive event. everyone seemed to just be having a great time and doing it for the right reasons.

go quartet: I walked in during the last bit of their set. it was a bunch of young kids playing jazz.

dom famularo: he was the speaker for the event. he spoke in between all the of the acts. his set was neat cause of style he had. he hit the sides of his cymbols and looked like he was thinking a lot.

jonathon mover: he fractured his foot not too long ago, but still came in. he played a simpler and more traditional set, rock oriented.

mance grady: played some weird single drum instrument. I guess he makes them.

clave logic: they actually had some other name. I think it was a puerto rican, a cubano and a white guy in this incantation. it was a mix of caribean and american rock beats. they came out playing taditional africa gourds, but then put them down and started playing on their sets up. each got to "solo" for a while showing off their tallent and then they came back together to continue. one of the guys had insanly fast hands on a bong. they also had like 30 cowbells... my fever for has been cured.

bernard purdie: probably the most venerable of the drummers at this event. he's recorded about 3000 lps. his set was so simple. it was a simple steady groove that he went off on. he was so humble too. after his set, some guy offered to donate $40 for the sticks he played on.

rick morin and the rhythm room kids: 8+ kids and one older gent on a bunch of instruments. they switched around a lot.

derek roddy: god damn... he started out with some stuff that people said was from the new HE cd, but I don't really know. it was insanely fast and tight blasts. at one point, his was fixing his hi hats while doing 200+ bpms on the double bass. after a few minutes, the blasts fadded out and he went into some progressive grooves. as the set went on he turned towards jazz drumming. he said he was looking around Florida to start up a jazz-ish band.

there was a long and mostly hilarious auction that lasted for about an hour. dom mc'd it. a 50-year snare donated by purdie which was played on 25 hit albums ended up being the winner. it kept going up in value and as it did, some extras got added to it... like an hour leason with dom and purdie in NYC. ended up going for $1300.

osp mega drum group: EVERY drummer sat down and started to played along. it was really cool cause the purdie's shuffle lead everyone through for a few minutes. a bunch of the staff also jumped on some of the drums.
