HURRICANE STATEMENT REGARDING RE-ISSUES

[February 09th, 2007]

The following is a statement from Hurricane in relation to the recent news about their albums being potentially re-released: "It has come to the attention of Jay Schellen and Kelly Hansen that some person or persons have been allegedly promoting the release and sale of reissued material by their earlier band, Hurricane.
Kelly contacted Hurricane band mate Jay Schellen and neither have any knowledge of the release, or the websites that are promoting it. They wish to make it known that no Hurricane reissue CDs have been signed by them and no new or "bonus" tracks have ever been recorded for any reissue. Any quotes attributed to Kelly or Jay in connection with any advertising and/or marketing of these releases are totally manufactured. Kelly and Jay are extremely distressed to hear of any alleged abuse of their fans and friends, and although they would love to address this issue personally, legally they must remain limited to this statement. Kelly and Jay are doing everything possible to assist in the cessation of any alleged misuse of their good name and reputation that injures the people they value most, their supporters."

GPS tour dates

[June 1st, 2006]

GPS tour dates for the UK have been announced. Most dates are as special guests of "Y&T". Check out our tour dates to see when and where the band will be performing!

Welcome to my website. It has been a long time coming and I'm really excited about the new possibilities for passing along current information on events, techniques, FAQ's about my book Rocking Independence and my recordings and live performances.

Check out my book Rocking Independence. The Book area tells you all you need to know about this solid technique that builds dexterity, timekeeping, ghosting technique and 4-way coordination and much more. Endorsed by many top pros and drum instructors.

The Kit Setup page has a complete / current illustrated overview of my current drum, cymbal, pedal and microphone setup.

The Gallery exhibits photos, and will include up to date photos of good times & good friends from the road and various studio dates.

The Tour Schedule and Upcoming Events are current and will be updated as the dates are confirmed.

I hope you will feel free to use the Contact link to get in touch with me for scheduling drum lessons (LA area), and for clinic bookings.

The Links area contains links to all my endorsement companies, the major drum and percussion publications and institutions and other sites I really appreciate.

The Forum area has two areas, the overall Forum area is dedicated to the sharing of experiences, strengths, philosophies, hopes, influences, and feedback on any subject we have in common. The "Rocking Independence" Forum is more specifically tuned towards students of all levels and their teachers, featuring discussions about the books techniques, new ways to expand the use of each section and answering FAQ's concerning the "Rocking foot" technique.

Future plans include a "private members" section, which will be accessed by subscription where I will be offering private custom tailoring of the "Rocking Independence" to your individual needs. Also live chat drum instruction forums, downloads of examples / beats / fills recorded in "real time" and e-mailed to you!

I hope that you enjoy and benefit from this site and will come back and visit often!
