I now own the most beautiful cymbals in the world. Jeff Hamilton introduced me to the happiest experience of cymbal sounds ever. The HAMMERTONE series was developed by Jeff and it is phenomenal. The 14″ hi hats sound amazing. The 20″ ride is perfect with vocalists and the design/engineering of the cymbal is brilliant. The 22″ ride with rivets is smooth, musical and pure heaven. The 22″ China with rivets is the only china I’ve ever owned. The China is expressive and powerful, but has just the right character of tone to add musically to my situation. Thank you Mr. Jeff Hamilton!
Steven Naidus keeping time to songs is our most recent drum lesson. We worked on songs from the Eagles, AC/DC, Fleetwood Mac, Kenny Loggins ( who Steven just saw at the CoachHouse in San Juan Capistrano). Tom Brechtlein was on drums for Kenny Loggins and I understand his drumming was great.
This is a night to experience the life and time of a music maven: composer, producer, keeper of the jazz flame, virtuosic drummer, ultimate sideman and leader who continues to innovate and invigorate the music he plays. Join the Monk Institute for an evening with Lewis Nash hosted by Clayton Cameron.
UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music
Thursday, February 28 from 8:00 pm until 9:30 pm in Popper Hall. Free and open to the public RSVP suggested ̶ email “Lewis Nash RSVP” to [email protected]
Please buy Clayton Cameron’s fantastic Book/DVD/CD about brushes. As I said before he is a fireball of a drummer. The short time I studied with Clayton helped enormously. He is a phenomenal musician, excellent instructor and a wealth of information regarding jazz history. Check out his website: claytoncameron.com

I try to buy everything JEFF HAMILTON has ever recorded. He is my favorite drummer! Do whatever you have to do to see him live. Meeting Jeff and studying with him is a blessing. See his website at: hamiltonjazz.com
No one can touch this fireball of drummer. CLAYTON CAMERON taught me about brushes, drums, music business, commitment and devotion to family. To see him play live is a life affirming experience. See his website at: claytoncameron.com
I saw PAUL KREIBICH at Soka University and it was one of the best jazz drum performances I’ve ever experienced! I first met Paul when I managed West Coast Drum in the late 70’s. I had the privilege of a few lessons with Paul at Cal State Fullerton. Terrific instructor and gentleman. See his website at: paulkreibich.com
I met MATT JOHNSON in the late 70’s when I managed West Coast Drum. He was enthusiastic, kind, quick-witted, compassionate and fun to hang with. His drumming is amazing. See his website at: drummermattjohnson.com
