Drummer Event: Thomas Pridgen Drum Clinic - All Pro Percussion

Submitted by drumfreak on Tue, 03/30/2010 - 10:15

Thomas Pridgen Drum Clinic @ All Pro Percussion - May 14th, 2010 7PM - $7 Ticket Price Tickets Go On Sale Tuesday March 30th @ 11:00 AM About Thomas: Growing up in California, Thomas began drumming at the age of three, recorded his first tracks at eight and by nine years old, he won the Guitar Center DrumOff. His grandmother Addie, supported his early talent without applying unnecessary pressure. She would drive him over an hour each way to attend Stanford Band Camp when he was 11 and often signed his early endorsement deals because Thomas was to young to do so. At age 10, he was the youngest recipient for a Zildjian endorsement in the nearly 400 year history of the company. Thomas was also the recipient of a 4 year scholarship to Berklee College of Music in 1999 at the age of 15; he was youngest musician to ever receive this scholarship. He has studied with Berklee instructor Francisco Mela, David Garibaldi, Walfredo Reyes Jr and Curtis Nutall. Thomas says, “I learned a lot from the guys in church” and would go on to record under the Gospel Music Workshop of America numerous times. He’s done clinics with Walfredo Reyes, Jr. and Dennis Chambers. And has played with Keisha Cole (for whom he was Musical Director), Jada Pinkett Smith’s band Wicked Wisdom and Christian Scott. Currently, he is recording and touring for The Mars Volta. Guitarist for The Mars Volta, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez describes Thomas’ audition for the band as; “I just said, come to Ohio and hang out with us, we all want to hang. He comes out and there’s a little drum kit setup, and I go, remember this beat and I beatbox it. That’s the beginning point and the end. Now we’re going to go improvise for an hour.” Unknown to Pridgen at the time, on the other side of the curtain were 14,000 people waiting to catch the bands show. “We went up and we played and it was awesome. Other people would have freaked, but he memorized the beat and we did our thing, it was totally tight and that’s when I knew for sure he was the guy.” You can hear Thomas and The Mars Volta on their latest record, “The Bedlam In Goliath” Visit Thomas Pridgen’s myspace.
