VERISMO in Hungary 1st time

Posted on November 2, 2011 by doenci

Amazing opportunity arrived for the band earlier this year.
I met Tankcsapda (http://www.tankcsapda.com)at the NAMM show in January and from that point on our relationship kept growing. When “Cherry” (Cseresznye) offered me dates for the opening slots I didn’t hesitate for a second….I took the deal right away.
We feel honored to share the stage with Hungary’s best hard rock act ever produced!

Finally we got the dot on the I so we’re ready to rock Hungary the first time.

Here are the confirmed dates:

Dec 16. – SZOMBATHELY, Oladi Muv Haz
Dec 27. – DABAS, Metal Karacsony
Dec 29. – DEBRECEN, Főnix Csarnok

There will be a secret show which will be announced soon.
Also there are possibilities for adding more!

Thrash Metal Week Continues – HMD Meets with Dave Lombardo

Posted on September 14, 2011 by doenci

Date: 9/13/2011
Location: Sam Ash – Times Square, NYC

Mr. Lombardo was doing a clinic last night at Sam Ash. It was a short notice thing but my friend Nic informed me about it last week.
Again, this was a GREAT experience seeing the monster performing right in front of you.
Dave HATES sports but LOVES music and that’s what’s keeping him in condition….I was pretty surprised hearing that LOL!
He just switched over from Tama to Ludwig Drums recently. This time he wanted to pick the drums of HIS heroes like John Bonham, Ginger Baker. He’s very happy with the new custom babies.

Let’s go see the BIG 4 at Yankees Stadium tonight!

DrumWars – Meeting The Appice Brothers

Posted on August 3, 2011 by doenci

Aug 8th, 2011 – BB King’s, NYC

First and foremost I’d like to thank Ken @ Piercingmetal.com for the invitation to this event. I’ve been pretty busy in the studio these days but when Ken messaged me I was shocked that I almost forgot about it….quickly had to find someone to spot me for the the rest of the day and I was on my way to the show!

This was one of those rare moments when you had a chance seeing these legend fighting on stage with their drums.
Carmine influenced a lot of drummers with his unique technique and style who performed, co-wrote music with Paul Stanley, Rod Stewart and Ted Nugent just to name a couple. On the other side of course his brother from the “same” mother, Vinnie, has played in the biggest rock acts of the era; Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell, Dio! Awesome dudes and awesome performance!

The show was pretty amazing besides the drum solos they had a full band on stage playing the classics. Let me tell you man, all those guys including Jason, James, Chris, Artie played the songs fantastic, no joke! Tight, kick ass act!

It was my pleasure meeting them, this time together. At Backstage we chatted about drumming, DIO and just life in general.

I was also happened to run into Mr. Billy Amendola from Modern Drummer Magazine who was kind enough to listen to my latest release with VERISMO!
More about that later!

I video taped the beginning of the show, hope you enjoy it!
