    I'm 53
    I was in a band in Vegas back in 1990.
    We got big and popular.On the verge of being signed and it all fell apart because of drugs.
    My heart was broken
    I put that part of my life away and stopped playing. Moved to Chicago with my kit and it was stolen from a bar I worked at.
    That was it. Done for good.
    Till I saw this dude with his grey hair and a passionate smile
    he gives me inspiration to pick up a pair of sticks,force those callouses back and get my chops back
    Thank you Drumeo. you inspired me to play again

After that he intruced us Dom Famularo and told us that he is a famous drummer. This was the first time we heared about him but till today it was one of the best live shows i have ever seen in my life. Thank you Dom that you came all that way to Adana :)

    I saw Dom at a drum clinic in Omaha Nebraska...hearing him hit those cymbals in person will take your breath away. Not only is Dom a great drummer, but he's a great person. In the crowd that night was a 12 year old girl...and in talking to her, Dom found out that she desperately wanted to become a drummer, but her family could never afford the lessons. In fact her mother was outside in the car waiting because they couldn't afford the extra ticket. Dom, without blinking an eye, paid for her to have a years worth of lessons, and I believe even bought her a drum set. Great guy, great drummer. Dom said he got good at the bass drums by running through 'Stick Control for the Snare Drummer' by Lawrence Stone, but on the bass drums...can't even imagine.

    In the late 90s, I went to my very first drum clinic. It was Dom. Dude blew me away - and not just with his drumming. He came on stage and first thing he did was cry out how magnificantly fabulous the drums are and wouldn't start playing until everybody first screamed out "HALELLULIA!!" a couple times. :-)
    I learned my single most important drum lesson from him on that day. And it didn't really have anything to do with actual drumming. The lesson was ENJOY the instrument. You will never get good at something that you don't enjoy.
    I can only say: thank you Dom. Thank you.

      There's tons of Metal drummers that can do that 2x the speed.
      EDIT: I'm not being rude, just saying that wasn't the most impressive part of the performance, jeez. I see how it looked like I was being rude. It wasn't what I intended.
      Another edit: @Jeffery Downs also, who do you think you are? Going around jumping the gun, and calling people bleepholes because they have a differemt opinion. Even if I was insulting his playing (which I wasn't) you shouldn't be doing that. And it's beyond me how your offensive reply got 50 upvotes. And @uhh, no I'm not 10.
      All of you people here are thinking I'm insulting this guys playing, when I'm not. His playing was great. Perfectly on time, well spaced and thought-out fills, and added flavour like that double-kick kick part were all fighting about.
      The entire reason I made this comment in the first place was to tell the dude commenting that it's possible to get a lot faster double-kick than in the video, so he could look it up, and be even more blown away.

    Wow.....Dom Famularo is still drumming all these years later! I went to a Dom Famularo Drum workshop in 1994 (27 years ago) in Victoria, BC Canada at the Lansdown Camosun College Campus. Then a few days later I went to the pacific international drum invitational in Vancouver where he also played alongside Journey's Steve Smith and the late great Louie Bellson. I have all three of their autographs on the back of my ticket, still have the program from the drum invitational too. Louie Bellson... after the show actually stopped and chatted with me for about 10 minute in the lobby of the theatre. Lovely man, and he was so thrilled to see young people having such a passion for drumming. Dom looks exactly the same...just his hair was not grey then (:
