A couple of cool things:
This morning I got to record a video in partnership with the Count Basie Center for the Arts.
I got to speak about the drumset - what it is, how it works together as one instrument, what a drummer's role is in music and what I do specifically in my various music projects.
This is a video designed to augment music education in all the regions that The Count Basie Center's Educational Outreach supports - roughly 10,000 students this year.
The second is something I'd mentioned before but below is the official announcement with dates etc:
*TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT*

Painted Mountains Tour is a musical expedition composing new music with Indigenous Tribes and providing workshops and performances for communities.
D'DAT will travel to six National Monuments for a three-day residency at each site. While on site, D'DAT will research and collaborate with an Indigenous tribe and compose two new pieces, provide a workshop and performance. With the collaboration of the Bureau of Land Management and Indigenous Tribes, D'DAT was able to created this wonderful unifying project.
