BOOKS

Z Journey(al)

An inside look at the 2020 year. This book captures the emotion and craziness of a hopefully unique period of time. It looks at a number of perspectives. It is humorous in spots (I hope). It warns of some serious concerns (I hope not). it will open the door to a number of discussions.

The
JasperBridge

One day while playing my Telecaster with friends and having a good time. I sat on the drum stool and kept a groove going on the bass drum and high hat while I continued to play chords on the Telecaster. I wanted to strike the strings with a drumstick in order to make it more percussive oriented. There was no comfortable way to hit the strings to get a rebound.  

 

A drummer and/or percussionist understands how important the rebound is so I searched for a way to strike the strings from the back and through that process, the Jasperbridge resulted.
