Yamaha and Zildjian endorser to hold four clinics at UK retail outlets
Keith Carlock, who was voted Best Pop Drummer, Best Fusion Drummer and Best All Round Drummer in the annual Modern Drummers 2009 readers poll for his work with the likes of Steely Dan and Sting will be appearing at a series of clinics with Yamaha and Zildjian in the UK through March.
An endorser of both brands, Carlock has recently released a instructional DVD, The Big Picture, featuring his Yamaha PHX drumkit and a mixture of Zildjian K and A Custom cymbals, presenting the music of Steely Dan, Wayne Krantz and Tim Lefebvre along with his own band Rudder.
"We are so happy to have Keith return to the UK," said Gavin Thomas, Yamaha's UK product manager for Yamaha drums and Zildjian. "Keith came to the UK for a series of drum clinics three years ago, since then his career has developed and his talents are even more recognised.
These dates provide a rare opportunity to see Keith’s powerful performances up close and to understand his approach to drumming. I can’t wait."
