TigerBill's DrumBeat Festival 2011: TRIBUTE TO JOE MORELLO!
Don't miss this year's DrumBeat Fest - it's truly the most ambitious Fest I've ever assembled! My former instructor and friend, Joe Morello, passed away on March 12th of this year and I thought it only fitting to dedicate my Fest in his honor.
I will be bringing together many of his friends, students, and bandmates to perform, educate, and share personal stories about one of the greatest drummers of all time.
In addition to the usual DrumBeat Fest performances and activities, this is the first year I'll be bringing together drummers and instructors from all over the country to participate in a Guinness World Record Event. So if you'd like to become part of Tiger Bill's Honor Roll, you can! Stay tuned for more details but, if you can't wait, feel free to email me at info[at]tigebill.com and include Honor Roll in the Subject.
Click the above link for the latest information on this event, which takes place this October. You'll not only have the chance to experience it live but if you can't make the trip to New Jersey, you'll be able to catch it as a Pay Per View on the web!
Please stay tuned!
Thanks.
