tablas, bongos and assorted hand percussion instruments. I would deem
Pete not only a percussionist, but also a soundscaper, creating
landscapes of sound. Steve and Pete’s performance together, combining
Indian and western trap set rhythms, brought the house down. I am
honored to have created the scenario that brought these two drumming
giants together for an evening, their combined mastery was breathtaking to
behold." -Cherie Willoughby
"Pete Lockett had a captivating clinic and the intensity in the audience was
equal to that onstage and made for a very high energy level in the room.
Pete shared some great patterns and ideologies for us all to try to put into
our own language as drummers and musicians and his love of playing was
pouring out." -Jes Craig
events? Not a lot and we can count ourselves lucky that the NH
international drum expo is another must attend fixture in the drum and
percussion calendar. It was the first time for Cherie and Jess putting
this together and they did a great job and one which entailed three
sleepless nights for them. It was good to see how smoothly
everything went and also how receptive and enthusiastic the crowds
were for the events and clinics which included Sergio Bellotti, Bob
Moses, Kenwood Dennard, Neal Smith, Steve Smith, Jerome
Deupree, Dave Mattacks, Dave DiCenso, Cindy Blackman and
myself. To companies and punters alike, DON’T MISS THIS ONE
NEXT YEAR!!! "
