A spare minute....

Captains log : supplemental.
Just wanted to say that....
Wow.. it is really out of control this summer. We basically have three troupes at work. Well, sort of... One troupe : RyEPercussion is hard at work in the lovely city of Rye, New York. Getting great comments and just pounding away. It won't be long before they are traveling around the area and performing on the east coast. We still have two major fairs coming up and... another troupe has formed to perform for a special college event in Yuma AZ in the upcoming months.

Now, here is something kind of cool... and yet...not really associated with RePercussion. Two of my main drummers will be performing most if not all of the summer on Citiwalk, Universal Studios Hollywood. A new show has formed and friends of mine produced and wrote it... and luckily... when I suggested two of our main drummers to play with them... they passed the audition and can now be seen on citiwalk.

And... another drum group has been found... due to the untimely demise of..."the other" band...( I am sure he considered himself competition)... lol... all competition is good...it is odd to compete against your own show. But, well, that band is gone... and apparently he not only stole my show when he was doing it... but he stole someone elses name as well.
I wont point ya to his site... but here is a great site of another team...
these guys are awesome and now... ryePercussion is in their neck of the woods...go figure...

Check em out...
I mean... still hire  us...  ;-) lol  ( after labor day )
But check them out.....

Absolute Insanity... ;-)

What a rush. This summer is truly out of control. So many projects happening. Currently a west coast troupe ready for our next big run... and an east coast troupe bracing for their opening, and me knee-deep in a few growing projects. If youre reading this site from time to time, thanks.
Sure, we have a myspace... lol... apparently everyone does now.. but we are still very happy to have our real website RePercussion .
But, if you have been there lately, you'll notice it hasnt been updated.
Why ?
Cause...we are too durn busy. Seriously, till labor day, we are even lucky to post here... Our agents are hard at work, and we continue to get called back to our yearly events. I never thought I would be moving this fast, but requests for merchandise has hit an all time high...and requests for a CD has actually driven us to consider creating it. However, one of the reasons we do this show is to keep it on the street. No real instruments, no electronics....and just a good time.
Not bad for a group that started as school shows about recycling....
see ya soon...

RePercussion....

Wow... experiment complete ! My ears have finally cleared from flying to New York and getting RePercussions newest team together... currently known as our east coast contingent...RyePercussion. How cool is that.. I won't even tell you how many drummers showed up at the audition, because you wouldn't believe me, but we got three really awesome drummers for the show ready to go. Phil, Jerome and Roy. And they are in the midst of making sure their subs are set and ready to cover for any unforseen situation. Playland looks amazingly like it did when I performed there in 1991. And yet, a lot of the old stuff is gone too. The crowd will no doubt be some of the best our show has seen as they were receptive even during our slammed rehearsal/cleanup shows. Repercussion is really getting jazzed for an awesome summer, even though the youregettingsleepy site hasnt been updated, nor trashcandrummers.com. Honestly, I'm just having too much fun on the blogs.
Go check out RyePercussion and say "hi" to the guys and gals.

Yup, its that time. Tonight I get on a plane, go to New York and cast and rehearse the show for Playland. All in two days. Money isnt grea for the drummers, but it's pretty exciting to have the opportunity. I just hope drummers show up. Of curse the last audition I had led to me hiring one drummer that has since stole the show, started his own drum show, called all of my producers and actually had a run of about a year of shows. I've run into a few of his drummers since his show closed and it was pretty much the way I assumed it would be... but ..as I always say competition is a good thing. Never expected to compete against my own show though..lol.
But... Im sure he is doing well on his own anyway...
Me..off to NY and then a short vacation via one of our sponsors... speaking of which...
