Dave DiCenso                   Sunday October 7th, 2007 NEIDX

“One of the highlights for me was after Dave DiCenso finished his clinic, his father, celebrated drum teacher Dick DiCenso, came up to me considerably moved and choked up, thanking me for hosting the event. I, in turn, with tears in my eyes, went out onto the expo floor to a din of drumming that is hard to imagine in it’s intensity and volume. A din of drumming I could not stop because I knew the din was the love and inspiration Dave shared with the people expressed in their after show “drumming applause”. Dave's drumming is was like a fine wine and I savored every moment of his performance. He is a wonderfully talented and creative drummer and an incredibly sincere and friendly guy. I feel like I found a long lost brother in Dave and I am proud to have presented Dave DiCenso to the wonderfully appreciative crowd of drummers at NEIDX 07" -Cherie Willoughby

"The shows success was solidified right as Dave Dicenso's clinic ended. A thoughtful and usable palete of information which was so warmly recieved it was buzzing in the air. The culmination and high point of the show was speaking with Dave Dicenso's Mom and Dad who approached Cherie and myself in tears as the applause roared, a proud mother & father and very touching moment to have help aligned into existance with the help of all of you, feel good you helped create a very powerful moment." -Jes Craig
