from: Performance & Technique features Jarzombek in action performing the frenzied Cancer" and "School," as well as the Latin-flavored "So It Aint !," highlighting Bobby's intricate double bass drum wizardry and his penchant for syncopated rhythms and odd-time signatures. Two extended drum solos and a "Live in Japan" on-stage blowout showcase Jarzombek's mastery of visual FX such as stick twirling, tosses, and backsticking, accompanied by a narrated in-depth demonstration. On the instructional side, an 11-step double bass drum workout delves into the how-to of taking two bass drum notes and applying them to sticking patterns to create a variety of rhythmic combinations for fills (soloing) and beats.

Bobby Jarzombek was born in 1963 in Austin, TX. He began playing drums at the age of ten and got involved with various bands in his early teens. His first real claim to fame was hooking up with Juggernaut. He recorded two albums with that group before leaving them to become the sticks man for the Riot reunion. He stayed with that group for quite some time, recording with them on a total of seven albums. He eventually hooked up with his brother in the band Spastic Ink, then took the seat behind the drum kit for Halford.
