What's a global drum ambassador? Someone who has traveled to over 60 countries spreading drumming knowledge and love through clinics and performances. Also, someone who was a trendsetter as the first to use the world wide web to teach through the internet. In this episode, our guest started playing professionally at 12 and learned from some of the greats like Jim Chapin and Joe Morello. Our guest is the Global Drum Ambassador, Dom Famularo.

Here are a few things you will hear in this episode.

  • How does Dom maintain his level of energy and how does he develop his enthusiastic style of playing the drums
  • Being the first drum instructor in the world to give lessons via the internet. With everyone having to stay home, how he was ahead of the game when everyone had to scramble to buy cameras, lighting, etc.
  • Growing up in the Big Apple and having the opportunity to study under some of the great drummers of our time. Like Jim Chapin and Joe Morello
  • Do you see musicians starting to transition on seeing that you can still perform for the love but not give away your product, themselves?
  • Also the importance of being diverse and keeping a few irons in the fire
  • He's written many instructional drum books, but an interesting one is “The Cycle of Self Empowerment” for even the non-drummers
  • In Four Beats or Less:
    • What’s one thing that you think makes a good music/drum teacher
    • What’s something people don’t know about you
    • Who’s on your Mt Rushmore of drummers
    • Listening to other interviews/podcasts, you are very close with your family, so what’s your typical Sunday dinner?
