We miss you Dom ❤️
He was a one of a kind guy. An amazing educator and an ambassador for the instrument. His drummer interviews were the best. As a drummer himself he always knew the best question to ask, also he made the interviewees very comfortable
Hear, hear!
Lovely master!
I had maybe 5 “masterclasses” with him in the late 80’s / early 90’s. About 15 years later I saw him, said “you probably don’t remem…” before he hugged me and said “Lee of course I remember! You, Mikey Dave would drive up from Philly…” totally blowing me away because he knew EVERYONE. “You know I was just talking with Mr. Steve Gadd about that very thing…” Not just a great drum teacher, a great teacher in general.
That's awesome, tbh he always seemed like that kind of guy, who loved what he did and loved those he met. If most people were like Dom the world would be a fkin great place. RIP Dom, beat the skins across the universe!
"When I'm gone, as long as all of my students are involved with music, I am part of their life." The drummer in my band took lessons with Dom for a long time so this made me emotional. RIP Dom
A beautiful human being gone way too soon 🙏🏻
This was so great. Thanks yet again, Brandon and all at Drumeo. I remember waking up on the morning of what would be my first lesson with him. It was snowing hard outside and I hadn't been driving all that long. So I called him and said, "Man... I woke up to a blizzard. I think I might have to postpone, because I'm not sure it's safe to drive all the way to Long Island, but I don't want to miss our lesson. I don't know what to do." To which he replied, "I understand. it's totally up to you. But you're gonna have to decide if you want to be a viking or not. Are you gonna be a viking?" I got in the car, braved the whiteout, and it was a great lesson. Another time, he called my house to invite me to Jim Chapin's birthday party and got my mom. He said, "Hi, this is Dom Famularo and...." She cut him off immediately and good-naturedly said, "I know who you are!" To which he replied, "Oh...yes... thank you, thank you." 😂 I miss going out to his house, getting ripped on (great) Italian coffee (I needed the caffeine to keep up with him), and leaving empowered and inspired. Those were the days. Love ya forever, Dom.
So unfair one of the greatest and the most jolly human beings in this community went away so soon. He is already missed so much. I hope they have a good drum kit and lots of sticks where you are Dom!
Dom was such a light to the drum community and the world. He will be immensely missed
A cup of coffe and a bowl of Dom!😁
Great video. Dom wasn't just born to play drums and teach. He came to Earth to uplift humanity through drumming.
How can he be gone? It still doesn't feel real. His unbridled enthusiasm and love for our instrument will be felt for generations ❤️
Saw Dom in a music shop back in 1994 age 21. Pre RUclips, Instagram etc. No phones filming just everyone focused on this giant of a drummer, teacher, motivator. I loved the guy.
Dom spoke at my high school and sat in with our jazz band for one song. Its stayed with me for the last 30 years.
I cry with this video. I never meet him or have the chance to see him live. But damn I love his philosophy and personality, and of course the inspiration of see it playing drums with that smile and passion... thanks for all don 💓🥁💓
What a loss to the drumming community. He made a huge difference and his legacy lives on. Great video and tribute.
The best lesson from his legacy is what he said about his parents and household that he grew up in a household that was open to people from different backgrounds whether religions, countries etc, something that is sadly no longer the reality. Sadly never got to meet the great man. What a beautiful soul
I was lucky to have honor to be a student of Doms in the late 80's. First lesson we didn't touch the drums!! Instead, he gave me the best motivational speech I've ever heard. Couldn't wait to get to my second lesson a week later. He had biggest personality of anyone I've net in this life. He will be missed!
I am so moved by this man's passion for life, drumming, and people. I new Dom when I was a young teen growing up on Long Island. Always kind, funny, and just a lovely man.
I also love how the Drumeo guys show their love and respect that he surely deserves.
He is missed, but will always be remembered.
…gotta say my fondest memory of the “beforeTimes” was Drumeo 2020 where Dom Famularo held court as MC with some of the best drummers in the Biz - he’ll forever be ‘Motivator Extraordinaire’ & truly a Friend to all of us. Thanks for this Brandon, Long Live the Spirit of Dom!? 🙏🏽
I met Dom the first time at a clinic at the now defunct Wagstaff Music in Murray, UT. A couple years later, he was in town for something and came in to the same shop when I happened to be there. He walked in, greeted me BY NAME, shook my hand and said "How have you been?" What an amazing human being and ambassador for the instrument.
Im 63 years old. When i was in my mid teens Dom agreed to give me lessons, even though i was a little younger than his typical student. I've carried his lessons, on drums and on life with me ever since. He will be missed by many.❤❤
👍🙂‼️ The happiest drummer in the universe!!!! He truly was the Ambassador of Drums, no doubt!!!
beautiful tribute ! thank you for putting it together
This video was so beautifully put together! Thank you for keeping his memory alive
Hell of a presentation Brandon and Drumeo! A tribute fit for the man it was made for! The ending got me a little not gonna lie.
Thank you Drumeo and Brandon for this beautiful tribute to a great spirit and a great teacher ❤
Very well done, thanks Drumeo
i met dom once at the UK drum show, and it felt like i'd known him years! he was a truly nice man, a superb drummer, and a lovely human being
This was so great. Thank you so much for this. Makes me smiles.
Touched so deeply by this. Thanks for the great memory of Dom. To watch his joy was mind boggling for the 16 year old me.. Like how did he feel that joy so deep? Truly a special gentleman.
So glad to have met Dom many times and taken lessons and teachings from him. He was truly one of a kind.
I found him later in my life. But, he was infectious with his passion. The idea that he wanted to pass what he learned to the next generation is what playing should be all about. I’m a nobody when it comes to the drumming world, but I’ve been asked from young kids to help them learn, and it’s the biggest reward I’ve had playing.
Nice tribute! I always loved reading anything I saw related to him in the drum magazines over the years, and all of his interviews on DRUMEO were the best!! Thanks for posting this, it was awesome!!
Thank you dom for passing your knowledge on to us and thanks drumeo and Brandon for helping inspire me to pick back up the sticks after many years of inactivity.
❤
Had the pleasure & honor of meeting him at NAMM this year (2023)…. A true great🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this video! I thought you guys were going to come up with something special about Dom, but didn't expect it to be so good and so inspiring! ❤
i haven't personally known dom, nor have i ever seen any videos of him before his passing, but now that i have, i wish i had earlier. the dude was such a fantastic guy and he will definitely be missed, even after 100 years. thanks for another fantastic vid, guys, and thanks to dom for everything he gave in his life, especially his passion for banging plastic with wood and for life itself.
That’s classic Jim Chaplin at hospital hours left to live. Wailing away on his pad. Met Chaplin at his clinic in ‘86. He actually showed me his Moeller whip.
Never met Dom. Dom was always so cheerful and loving in all his videos. Intense energy in his playing huge fan of the both.
Thank you for this Drumeo. You are how I discovered Dom and this was a great way to honor him. ❤
Great tribute ❤ Thank you for sharing this. Rest easy Dom 🥁
What a beautiful tribute, you can see the love everywhere, congratulations for the great work you are doing, Dom would be proud, greetings from Chile
Thank you for this beautiful tribute! I lost count of how many times I heard and met Dom. I would leave the venue feeling alone on top of the world…and couldn’t get to my drums fast enough.
So beautiful. Tnx Dom, and Drumeo ❤
That was beautiful. What a way to start the day.
Thank you for this. It was beautiful. As you mentioned like so many others, he was the first drum set clinician I saw (early 90's). I always took the opportunity to say a quick, grateful hello during PASIC. His teaching and inspiration will forever resonate with us. Now, off to practice.
A young owain jones back in 97 had a vhs of Dom and he blew me away. I’d never seen anyone play the drums like him he was incredible
One of the people I’ll never get to meet and that’s really sad to me because he is just one of the best. Rest in peace Dom - you’re up there playing with Neil Peart, Jason Bonnum, and the other greats!
All of your content is top notch! Don would be proud of all you’ve done the for the recognition earned!
Dom was pure joy. A gift to us all. His life's lessons range far beyond the kit (and pad!!). Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Omg. I just joined drumeo discovering some of his videos and feeling the passion all over. Just got to know that he passed away. That is really sad! But seems lile he made the best out of his life! RIP !
He was a fountain of connectivity and inspiration to me and made me jealous that the drumming community had people like that tying everyone together with love and positivity. Other instrumental communities don't have enough of that. The music world will miss him. He was BRILLIANT.
It’s really great seeing all of these nice comments. Dad use to love reading every comment on his videos. Really brought him joy. Sure enough it would inspire him to aspire and that was his cycle. Huge
Your dad was a mentor and hero to all of us here at Drumeo. It’s up to all of us to keep his legacy alive and keep pushing forward to spread the love of music like he always did. We miss him everyday!
- Brandon
Thank you so much for sharing this video. What an absolute force of nature Dom was! The amount of of students, amount of travel to reach people, the impact on the drumming community, incredible. I also loved the anecdote of Jim Chapin, a master at his craft, still working on his weaker hand on his last day.
You'll be forever missed Dom❤🥁
This was a wonderful, heartwarming tribute to an extraordinary human being. Of course, it was also inspirational, which is the essence of Famularo's energy. Dom is no longer here in a recognizable human form, but as long as people embrace their best selves, strive to express themselves in a creative fashion, show kindness, enthusiasm, and joy for both drumming and living, Dom will ALWAYS be with us. He truly was one of the most warm, generous, authentic, and engaging souls I ever met.
Wow, what a wonderful fella and superb tribute. Great work. :)
My first time hearing of Dom. His energy is infectious. I don't think I stopped smiling while watching him. I wish I had known of him while he was still with us in person but I'm glad that I was introduced to his spirit on here. Good vibes all around.
Mr. Famularo’s drum cover of Survivor’s Eye of the Tiger, is my favorite drumming video ever! May you rest in peace Mr. Famularo 😢😭
With a Heartfelt Thank you Brandon and Drumeo, Dom was so full of life a man I wished I could have met in person and not just over Facebook, I had a lump in my throat and fighting back a tear, Thank you Dom you taught to world the language of Drums Rest easy and fly high
Dom was and still is a huge inspiration to my self any others. He visited my schools music program I think around 1979 and gave band program a drum clinic and played with the jazz band. This was on Long and I did get study with Dom a few different times, I had initial lesson when I was I H.S. and then later in mid twenties for a period of about six months. I saw several of his clinics in NY. I recently wrote to him shortly before his illness and asked about studying again with him, but unfortunately it didn't happen. He was always a top notch class act and I am forever grateful to have known him!
Как не хватает этого замечательного человека!
Покойся с миром, Дом!
Спасибо за твою неугасаемую позитивную энергию!
What a guy! Tremendous passion and work ethic fueled by relentless enthusiasm.
I saw Dom 30 years ago and learned his cymbal swiping technique as well as his cymbal edge tapping… He was such a bright light!
Love you Dom ❤
A true light in the community. A special talent and a joyful presence. All of music is poorer without him whether people know it or not.
We all love this guy ...! Huge drummer/teacher, fabulous showman...!
Absolutely the best…. 😢 cried throughout this whole tribute
R.I.P Dom thank you for inspiring many generation of drummers every drummer looks up to you as there teacher you have own the song eye of the tiger everytime people here the song we think of you 🕊❤
Thank you for sharing. A beautiful spirit and a wonderful human being....✌️ Got a little emotional towards the end...❤
Oh my heart. You will be forever missed Dom. I'm so happy you are in my Drum Teacher Lineage.
So dearly missed! We are blessed to have captured Dom's legacy on video so that his inspiration can be passed along in a way that we couldn't only a few generations ago.
"I hope I earned my stay on earth" hits so hard
Dom was a constant light for the drumming community, A great teacher and mentor. Dom you will be missed my friend 💙🤍💙
🥁🥁 thank you
❤I love what he did. It formed my approach to teaching folks what I know.
Fantastic tribute to Dom!
Great tribute!
Thanks Brandon great video God bless you!!✌️🇺🇲
Dom’s playing always reminds me of my teacher JP. Dom was one of the last of the old-school teachers and players.
Thank You for the big smiles Dom!❤️
❤ Best teacher in the word, Rip a true great master legend Dom Famularo.
Thank you Dom! You're such an inspiration.
I knew he wasn’t well but didn’t know he passed……so sad……what a legend…….rip
I bet he would’ve been a great teacher for me. Cause I would love to learn drums in the future. Rest in peace, Dom.
Verlo en vivo era espectacular, transmitía mucha alegría, y era un baterista con un golpeo muy potente, tuve la suerte de conocerlo, un tipo fenomenal.
what an amazing inspiration
Damn. That was inspiring. Thank you guys for this. And thanks to Dom.
I had the pleasure of meeting him in a “medical treatment facility” several years ago here on Long Island. I had mentioned that I wanted to start building drums and he was so interested in helping me get started and seemed like such a genuine sweet person. I’d always hoped that I would meet him again.
Dom was Amazing. It was not Just about music. It was about becoming a great human being.
what an absolute light, guys like these death bed stories always bring a tear to my eye.
Dom is making me want to drum forever, starting now!
Very nice eulogy Brandon. Love t mapex setup in Doms style. It's a beautiful touch.🎉
For me, I was in junior high school and watched the school band march in to the assembly to the cadence of the drummers. At that moment, I wanted to be a drummer. I am 73 years old and still play my beloved drums.
Everyone should watch this be you drummer, musician, or regular joe. If this doesn’t inspire you to get the most out of life nothing will. Great video Drumeo.
I love his energy! RIP to the legend
My fav part of watching him play is that smile. He will be missed
Dom was a one of a kind guy! Sorely missed, never forgotten.
Gracias eternas Dom!!! Saludos desde Argentina a la comunidad de Drumeo!
A beautiful tribute to a great man. We love you, Dom. ♥
Arguably the most positive attitude??? Nobody was as positive as Dom Nobody!! He was awesome on a level unseen by anyone! I was very close to Dom and was his friend and student for over 16 yrs! I spent some time with him at his 70th birthday party (Aug 2023) and it turned out to be the last time I would see him, as he passed in late Sept 2023, but did speak to him just a few days before he passed! Even facing his end he was positive and encouraged me to carry on teaching, learning and being a positive and supportive person overall! I miss him intensely, Rip Dom 😢
Great drummer, great positivity, great teacher
An awesome man, filled with love and passion.
What an incredible drummer and lovely man. RIP Dom.
A great tribute to a great man. I think i have something in my eye...... 😢
