Drum Daze 2011: The Mailmen

Even though we're still finalizing this year's Drum Daze artists, we've already started on next year. Instead of bringing you classic performers that we've had in the past like Steve Gadd or Jeff Hamilton or Steve Smith, we've decided to focus on artists who will really deliver. Check out John Rogers, Ace Gretsch, and Steve Slingerland (pictured left to right), a group of guys who you know will be right on time. This trio of inexperienced percussionists will form the core of next year's performance as "The Mailmen", and their technique and rhythm will have you speechless. "Really, an artist like Steve Jordan or Todd Sucherman would just be icing on the cake at this point." stated owner Jim Rupp. "Now that you mention it, I don't even think we need to add anybody." Look out for them early next year, somewhere around April 1.
