I just picked up the latest (March/April 2013) copy of DRUMHEAD, which contains a great story on Dave Elitch.
Dave is probably best known from his playing with Mars Volta, but he is not just a prog guy.
These two quotes from the article peaked my interest, because you don’t hear about this side of things that much. ‘Nuff Said; the quotes tell the tale….
1) “I’ve spent thousands of hours behind the kit trying to be the best, but in reality the most important factor is your social skills.”
2) “You get gigs because people want to hang out with you. If you can play, it’s a bonus.”
Mark Feldman is a session and touring drummer based in NYC.
He first gained attention as one of the winners of Modern Drummer magazine's very first drum solo contest, judged by Rush's Neil Peart.
He's played with Alison Krauss, Curtis Stigers, Emily Remler, Joel Hoekstra, GE Smith, Andy York, Marshall Crenshaw, Tony Shanahan, The Drifters, The Marvelettes, Big Brother and The Holding Company, and many other artists.
His band, Mark Feldman's LEVEL5, released their debut, "The Sybil EP," in 2019. The EP features Oz Noy on guitar and Will Lee on bass.
