I’m so exciting to be doing a Drum Clinic and Music Industry Discussion at Grove Studios in Ypsilanti, MI on Monday, June 30!
HOLY MOLY! This masterclass is about to BLOW YOUR MIND! We’re bringing Mark Damian – the powerhouse drummer who tours internationally with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Jeff “Skunk” Baxter (Steely Dan/Doobie Brothers) – right here to our BEAUTIFUL Grove Studios in Ypsi!
This is INCREDIBLE, people!
Mark’s a Michigan native who made his name in LA, and now he’s coming home to share his secrets with OUR creative community! This dude doesn’t just play drums – he’s a multi-instrumentalist, producer, audio engineer, AND sound designer for major film trailers. This is absolutely INCREDIBLE!
