Artimus Pyle - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Artimus Pyle - Lynyrd Skynyrd

From sold out stadiums to your local hole in the wall dive bar, it's rare to go out and see a band without hearing the all too familiar request of "play some Skynyrd!" We've all heard it before. Sometimes it comes from the back the room or the friend at your side…sometimes it's you! Most people just laugh about it as the band plays on, but what was it really like to be associated with these southern rock icons who've made a permanent mark on American culture and music as a whole? I had the chance to sit down with only one of two people left in the entire world who can still answer that question. A Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame drummer and true survivor, Artimus Pyle gives his insight and opinion on what has become of his life and the state of southern rock today.

"Big" Mike Clemons - Interview

Submitted by webadmin on: Saturday, Nov 14, 2009

There are musicians, producers, sound engineers, and if you combine all of them all you might get someone as talented as "Big" Mike Clemons. He does it all, and regardless of old saying it truly does takes a master to be a jack of all trades. Mike's love for the instrument began with playing pots and pans on the kitchen floor and his ability and drum kits have grown ever since. After graduating high school in 1994 "Big" Mike has performed with Israel Houg ... more »

 

Jay "Diesel" Soldano - Interview

Submitted by notsodrummer on: Saturday, Nov 14, 2009

At a glance, Jay "Diesel" Soldano is quite an intimidating site and watching his performance on the kit makes him seem even less approachable. He's big, solid, and has an extreme stage presence - pounding and playing the drums like it's for the last time…every time! The guy is just intense! But once you get past the muscles and make up you'll find out that Jay is an awesome guy who just loves people and loves what he does.The last time Drummer Connection interv ... more »

 

Larone "Skeeter" McMillian - Interview

Submitted by notsodrummer on: Saturday, Nov 14, 2009

Lately a lot of people have come to realize what some have known all along… some of the greatest drummers over the past 20 years have been spawned from the church and gospel music scene.  So much in fact that companies are even making their own "gospel" product lines in order to cater to what some would even call a trend.  But anyone in the pop or R&B scene knows that certain talents and entities can't and won't be denied… one such phenomenon is Larone & ... more »

 

John Humphrey - Seether - Interview

Submitted by notsodrummer on: Saturday, Nov 14, 2009

If you've listened to the radio in the past 6 years there's no way you could miss a band called Seether. Hailing from South Africa,  Seether has achieved main stream success with smash hits such as Broken, Remedy, Fake It, and several classic cover songs - all of which contribute to their multi-platinum album sales accumulated from a worldwide fan base. (Five million and STILL counting) In October 2003, Seether welcomed John Humphrey (formerly of The Nixons) to be the man entrusted wi ... more »

 

Lil' Mike Mitchell - Interview

Submitted by webadmin on: Saturday, Nov 14, 2009

There are hundreds young drummers and child prodigies in the world today. Just go on Youtube and you'll find about a million videos of adolescent musicians playing odd time grooves with chops for days. But very few of them play with the control and emotional maturity of a seasoned veteran, occasionally you do find one that separates themselves from all the rest. Drummer Connection had the benefit of interviewing one such prodigy as I sat down with none other than Lil' Mike Mitchell. A ... more »

 

Brent Easton - Interview

Submitted by - - D - - on: Friday, Nov 13, 2009

  D.C. What is it you like about ddrum and how did you become to part of this awesome family? B.E. What I love about ddum is that it feels like a family. It’s not just all about the drums, even though their drums are great. The relationship between the artists and the reps are great – even Elliott the owner, they showed us they care. We have conversations, we go bowling, it’s not always about drums. I can call them and be like: “ ... more »

Another great interview...thanks Damian!!

seminole Says How cool was that!

Artimus was great, the band was great and all the birds that came from nowhere when he played "Freebird"... WOW! Truely a day to remember. Artimus has been through so much and yet still gives eveything he's got when he performs. A true legendary Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame artist and he proves it for every show with his actions before, after and during his shows. The fans love him and he loves the fans, I'm not sure who appreciates each other more but there was a lot of love and respect out there that day.

Thank you Artimus for a great day to remember!

John
