I have been listening to Robin Dimaggio for quite a while now and I couldn't find a thread on him. If you are not familiar with his playing I strongly suggest you listen. He is a phenomenal musician, songwriter and drummer. I also notice that he has a DVD coming out which features his playing and educational philosophy.

Robin was a Joe Porcaro student and has played with Bowie, Paul Simon, Mariah Carey, Paul McCartney, Luther Vandross, Snoop Dog and many others.

Wow!

Yea, Robin's got some serious talent behind the kit, Paul! :-)


I have actually heard of him, I believe, from checking out some Steve Vai stuff! SV has used him in the studio, and speaks very highly of him.

RB was also a long-time student of Joe Porcaro...AND it shows!! ;-)


Thanks for the post and the links, Paul. Great stuff!


Peace...

He is great. About 5 years ago, I was at Dom's for a lesson and Robin called him.
