    I saw Kenny at a drum clinic many many years ago; had no idea who he was other than the Mellencamp association on the event flyer. After the clinic, I bought his "Power Workout" VHS tapes and used that program for years for a drum workout. Than a few years later, he sat in with the Smashing Pumpkins (one of my favorite bands ever), and my respect for him became even greater. Super down to earth guy and great ambassador for drummers.

    Kenny is one of the humblest most down-to-earth legend you can come across. As a matter of fact, when I came to his clinic as a youngster a few years ago, not only did he signed my sticks writing "you rock!" on one of them because he liked my energy, but he also remembered me and answered me on Linkedin a few weeks down the rod. I kid you not - how much busier than Kenny can a musician be? ... yet he still made time to personally answer me. He also delivers private lessons which my college teacher at the time took for himself! Kenny's really the best. You just want to work with him, which is really not the case with all famous musicians.

    • @billbradleymusic
      @billbradleymusic 2 роки тому +1

      Honestly, when you are reading charts are you reading or performing? Are you actually performing? Im not a huge site reader. Perhaps that puts me on a different scale. It makes me cringe to think that reading music has anything at all to do with performance. In my mind it detracts from performance. But, I know Kenny is use to doing it this way. Perhaps its second nature to him.

    Wow you just hit big time! Kenny is a legend. I'm an 80s kid and I know the hits he has played on. But in the pre-internet days I never knew his name until I got into drumming in the early 90s and started buying Modern Drummer magazine. I remember picking up an an issue in '92 (or '91?) with him on the cover. Since then I learned a lot from him through (prehistoric) VHS tapes from Zildjian. Thank you for sharing this studio tour with us! And yes, drummers always have the studio. I do too! ;)

I just moved my 1st tom over, and the Ride as well. I was quite comfy and playable...always playable.

    I'd give this 10 thumbs up, if possible.
    👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
    Great to see how Kenny has adapted to changed times and roles within this wobbling industry, the new video/webcasting/conferencing setup and lights are excellent - and the drums, gear, sounds & grooves already were, in the previous incarnations of his studio.
    BTW, on a side note, if one looks back at the other studio tour videos, now, Kenny's "Function-Over-Cosmetics" approach and "I-serve-the-client-and-the-song" attitude reeeeeally put some of those who came off as rather pretentious ponces and their spotless but also track-recordless studio spaces in their place.
    Kenny is a true legend, and a hardworking hypertalented superstar in his own right.
    Hats off & thanks for this video!
