Chad will be hanging out with us before the big 311 show Sunday night at the Cotillion. Unfortunately we won't have time to do a full drum clinic or anything that grand (Although we fully expect to see you at the show that night where Chad's sure to flex some of his signature drum chops). This will be a really cool chance meet the driving force behind one of the funkiest rock bands of all times, talk drums and maybe get an autograph.

It's FREE (thanks to the good folks at Zildjian)!

and sorry... no, there will not actually be any dinner.

A big thank you to everyone who came out to Michael Angelo Batio on Thursday, October 30th. This clinic was amazing and it was really great to see a packed house for MDP's first guitar clinic in 9 years. Hopefully we will be doing more of these next year along with many more drum clinics. Michael's guitar playing was great and his message was even better: "Just do it" and "Dean Guitar's Rule." MDP would also like to thank Michael for his great playing and attitude and Dean Guitars for sponsoring the event.
