Peter Erskine Reveals His Drumming Secrets

Peter Erskine is one of my all-time favorite drummers, and has played an integral role in the development of modern music and drumming. I was lucky enough to study with him for 5 years at the USC Thornton School of Music, where I was also his teaching assistant. This was such a fun conversation, not to mention, a lifetime's worth of drum lessons in one hour!
