  • Gregg Bissonette (known largely for his gigs with David Lee Roth and Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band) is one of today's most well-rounded pro drummers - he can play virtually any style on drums! He's so well versed in his craft that he made a DVD about it - "Musical Drumming in Different Styles" with Hudson Music.
    In this lesson, he talks about how techniques and vocabulary from one style translate to another, why you should study the greats, why you should play with live musicians, and that time Tony Williams learned how to play heavy metal in one week.
    Gregg is one of the most versatile drummers in the music business. His incredible range of styles from jazz, rock, Big Band, Blues, Latin, and fusion has allowed him to work with many of the world's top artists. A GRAMMY award winning drummer, his impressive resume includes Santana, David Lee Roth, Maynard Ferguson, Toto, Joe Satriani, and Ringo Starr, and you'll find his name on many TV and movie scores.

    This man is just unbelievable.
    Not only is he among the most versatile drummers ever, but he is also a human rhythmic encyclopedia, and in every single note, pattern, groove or fill played we can appreciate all his love for the instrument, immense technical background and curiosity and enthusiasm for everything he plays. A true legend and an example for every musician in the world.

Fast-forward these many years and we're all able to dial up any and all things Gregg Bissonette anytime anywhere. He's so fun to watch and can play any style. No one ever mentions that he can sing, but he can do that, too--as evidenced by the intro track on this video!
