Clinics

Putting It All Together

Joe Alessandro will be demonstrating the four primary music styles of jazz, rock, blues, and funk and demonstrating their relationship to one another.

If you are planning to host a clinic, a P.A. system will be required for the pre-recorded music that Joe will be using. He will be demonstrating the "How-To" of total stick control, utilizing the advanced hands and finger techniques which he has mastered. He will also present his system of basic and advanced double-bass techniques and show how they can be combined together with his total stick control system.

With over 20 years of teaching experience, many to high school and college musicians who also happen to be members of their school's marching band, Joe has perfected methods of teaching and incorporating his techniques and numerous rudiments and combinations into the drum lines.

An added feature of the clinic will be a demonstration of some highly complex high-hat routines that are sure to keep many in the audience busy with what could become a new passion.

Over the years, Joe has had numerous endorsements from major drum kit and accessories manufacturers such as Paiste Cymbals, Gibraltar Hardware, Rim-Shot Drum Sticks, and Vic Firth Drum Sticks. Some of these endorsers have provided Joe with promotional materials that can be given away throughout the clinic (items include tee-shirts, posters, stickers, and key chains).
