ABOUT MAKING THE BAND

HOW IT STARTED

The initial concept of Making The Band came about when I was constantly presented with the obstacle of getting my drum students involved with playing live music with their peers. As a professional gigging drummer, I know that playing out live with others is an essential part of competently playing your instrument. The reality is, many students of music are in need of or seeking an opportunity to play with other musicians. Through the great relationship with the Soundcheck Studio family and friends I’ve made within the music industry, an opportunity arose where I could provide newly formed bands with professional recordings, videos, and photographs as well as a live performance on a state of the art stage. I want to give the musical youth of the South Shore an idea of what it’s like to be a professional musician and how rewarding making music with others can be. It is with sincere gratitude that I say thank you to all who helped make this happen.
