Each time I take a flight I ask myself, "How the heck does Dom do this so often!!?"... And then I ask him in person when I arrive to the convention lol

It's because I went out to see Joe play one night ...

Maybe Alex can get him in here! ...

Well, Joe is VERY busy, even so much it takes him awhile to review certain things for the site. Not a problem, but I'll see.

 Here is his bio from the site.

 

Joe Bergamini maintains a diverse career as a drumming performer and educator. Enjoying various styles of playing, he is most well-known for his progressive rock drumming in the bands Happy the Man and 4Front. As a New Jersey native who grew up immersed in the New York City music scene, moving into work on Broadway seemed a natural progression for Joe. He performed on Broadway and in the first national tour of Movin' Out, and currently plays at Jersey Boys and In the Heights. For 11 years Joe was the drummer in the popular New York City area band Power Windows, and has performed and recorded with many other artists as a sideman.

Recognized internationally as an educator, Joe has given hundreds of drum clinics in schools, retail stores, and conventions over the past 15 years. He has appeared at the Ultimate Drummers Weekend (Melbourne, Australia), the Cape Breton Drum Festival (Nova Scotia, Canada), and KOSA (Vermont, USA). In 2007 he was the featured drum clinician on the first Tama Dayz US tour. He also maintains a busy private teaching schedule at his studio in New Jersey.

Joe's interest in writing and education has led to him becoming very active in the music publishing world. He is the Senior Drum Editor for Hudson Music, and a contributing writer for Modern Drummer magazine. An active author, Joe has won three Modern Drummer Readers Poll awards for his drum books. He is the author of Turn It Up & Lay It Down, MD Classic Tracks, It's Your Move (with Dom Famularo), Drum Techniques of Led Zeppelin, Operation: Rockenfield - The Drumming of Queensryche, Drumming Out Of The Shadows - The Drumming of Jason Bittner and Shadows Fall, and Polyrhythmic Potential (with Chris Pennie). He was formerly Percussion Editor for Carl Fischer Publications, has worked on various promotional and R&D projects for Tama drums, and is co-owner (with Dom Famularo) of Wizdom Media, an independent music publisher.

Joe taught me several things on doing my first clinic, state conference, getting in to new styles of drumming, books, etc!....

I can learn a ton from Joe.
