Drummer of the week....Brian Steele Medina of Gemini Syndrome

This week's drummer is Brian Medina of the band GEMINI SYNDROME.
Brought together by vocalist Aaron Nordstrom (former guitarist for OTEP), guitarists Rich Juzwick and Mike Salerno, bassist Alessandro Paveri, and drummer Brian Steele Medina (former TOIZ w/ Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch), this band is on tour with In This Moment, and Nonpoint.
I had the opportunity to see the band live in Madison, WI and I wasn't sure about them, since I have only heard one song. However, when they opened their set I was surprised. Brian is the only drummer since Shannon Larkin of Godsmack that actually entertained me throughout the entire show.
Throughout the show he had this charisma and excitement about him that kept me intrigued. The energy he has behind the kit is refreshing among some of the less exciting drummers I've seen lately.
He is not only a gifted musician, but he is also has a great showmanship quality behind the kit.
Very fun to watch and definitely worth checking out live!!
 It was a great show and I look forward to seeing them again. 

Drummer of the week.....Rowan Atkinson!!!

Surprise!!!
I know he's not a REAL drummer, but I saw this video and thought it was great. I had to share it.
Enjoy the video, laugh, and next time you're really bored....air drum to some Slayer!!

Drummer of the week....Avery Molek

This is something I've been wanting to do for awhile now, but I've been too lazy to start. So here is the Drummer of the week post!! Every week I will be posting a new drummer I feel deserves a little recognition. It may be from metal, country, jazz, whatever kind of genre. I'm not biased.
If there are any drummers you'd like to acknowledge, feel free to comment.



This week's drummer  is.......Avery Molek.

The young, drumming prodigy from Washington, Pa., is already a YouTube star, but now he's bringing his talents to a national audience. You may have seen his video of him playing Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher", which is amazing!!  Also check out Avery playing "Through The Never" by Metallica.  Only 6 years old!!!!
 "Good Morning America" featured a story on Molek while country music star Brad Paisley was on the show, and he liked what he heard.
Paisley was so impressed that he asked GMA to invite Avery to join him for a live performance on the show.
This kid is truly in inspiration and great company in the drumming community.
