Yoni Madar

Hello everyone,   Billy Amendola here on Drum Channel and I’m excited to introduce you to a drummer/multi-instrument from Israel, Yoni Madar. (whose handle on Instagram is Johnny Mathar)   I’ve been watching his videos on social media for almost close to a year before I reached out to say hello, and let me tell you, if you haven’t seen him play, you must look him up after listening to this podcast.    Yoni, has a style and technique all his own. Some of what he plays is complex and seems impossible, at times; and not only on drums, his approach to learning and practice is definitely “out of the box!”    Let’s get to know Yoni and welcome him to our Drum Channel family. Enjoy!

Lou Santiago

Hi everyone, welcome to this week’s Drum Podcast with Billy Amendola and his guest Lou Santiago Jr.   Lou is another of what you could call one of Billy’s “students.” He didn’t need to teach him to play drums (he already had that down); Billy would proudly offer life/business advice over the years whenever asked.    Lou went from being in the military, studying at The Collective in NYC, to winning the Undiscovered Modern Drummer contest in 2003 and performing at the prestigious MD Festival. (Billy and Lou talk about the life lesson learned from that experience)    From there, Santiago made a name in the business by touring with artists that sold out shows, becoming a family man, an educator of drums, and attending school to become a medical doctor.    Lou is back and ready to combine his playing, educating (with his 99-cent drum lesson program), and healing through the practice of medicine. Let’s welcome Lou Santiago Jr. to Drum Channel. Enjoy!

Steve Forman

EP 10: Steve Forman Well established in the LA recording studios, Steve Forman has long been recognized as one of the world’s most innovative and creative percussionists. His professional credentials began in Arizona as a contract member of the Phoenix Symphony, but his broader interests in music soon led him to the recording studios in Los Angeles. Interspersed with his early touring experience, Steve's personal trips to Brazil and Japan were important influences on his playing; he developed a style of "color" hand percussion and extended the on-stage instrument collection well beyond the routine Latin instrument group common at that time by utilizing found objects like hubcaps and artillery shells, sculptural artifacts and odd metal and wood constructions.  Steve’s has played on a great many recordings with some of the most influential artists of the 20th century including John Lennon, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys, Lee Ritenour, and Christine Aguilara, as well as playing on a vast array of movie soundtracks that include E.T, Flipper, Bill &amp; Ted II, Starship Troopers, Catch Me if You Can, Bambi II, and many more.  Steve now lives in Glasgow, Scotland where he gained his PHD in composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Steve now lectures and teaches his popular Pulse Relational Rhythm Theory class at the RCS which is based on insights emerging from Forman’s research of multi-dimensional polyrhythmic systems and high resolution synchronicity, semi-malleable forms, and non-standard instrumentation, and more than three decades of professional practice. He also continues to perform and record with some of the country’s top musicians.

Drummer for the band Chicago, Walfredo Reyes Jr. combines the rich history of Latin, Afro-Cuban and World Percussion with the drum set. For Walfredo Reyes, Jr., fusing the two disciplines has been his driving passion. In fact, by blazing this path, Reyes has challenged the technical levels of our instrument. Born in Cuba, raised in Puerto Rico, and culminating his musical style in the U.S., Wally (Walfredo Jr.) learned the traditions from the master, his father Walfredo Sr. He married those principles with his love of the drum set, coming up with his own truly global rhythmic style. Simply put, Wally is able to sound like a drummer and a percussionist at the same time. Add blistering chops and a penchant for playing unusual patterns to the mix, and you have only a small idea of what this man can do. Not surprisingly, this “one man percussion show” has gathered an impressive list of gigs over the years, including touring and / or recording with: Carlos Santana, Traffic, Steve Winwood, Jackson Browne, Celia Cruz, Gloria Estefan, David Lindley, Ricki Lee Jones, Richard Marx, Sergio Mendes, Smokey Robinson, Robbie Robertson, Joe Sample, Boz Scaggs, Christina Aguilera, Ricky Martin, Johnny Hallyday, Khaled, Lindsey Buckingham, Chicago and many others. Because of his versatility, Walfredo continues to be one of the most in demand musicians in the world today.
