In The Zone: Tommy Aldridge Holds California Clinic
COTATI, Calif. Yamaha Drum artist Tommy Aldridge worked up a sweat at his Zone Music clinic, held on April 8.
In addition to performing for an hour, Aldridge offered tips on double-bass technique, stressed the importance of practicing with a metronome and presented a primer on ways to enhance creativity and showmanship. He also signed autographs and fielded questions from the large crowd.
Giveways included Yamaha Gear apparel and a signed Paiste cymbal used at the clinic. Attendees received an entry form for the opportunity to enter a drawing and win a Yamaha Stage Custom Advantage drum set.
A pioneer in employing double-bass drum patterns, Aldridge first made his mark with Black Oak Arkansas. He has also performed and recorded with Pat Travers, Gary Moore, Ozzy Osbourne and Whitesnake.
