According to Cambridgetimes.ca, renowned drummer Derek Roddy (TODAY IS THE DAY, ex-HATE ETERNAL, MALEVOLENT CREATION, NILE) will hold a clinic on Thursday, May 3rd at the United Kingdom Club in Cambridge, ON (35 International Dr.)
The clinic - presented by Long and McQuade Music - begins at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.
Roddy is most widely known as a phenomenal drummer in the death metal community and he is also an avid drummer of any style and has performed as a strictly jazz, blues and rock musician.
Some that play drums focus on speed, some on fills or solos. Roddy's motivation is to better himself, and to explore and expand the boundaries in music.
Having had an interest in music from an early age, Roddy came to first be a fan of music before heading headstrong into the world of actually becoming a musician.
While capable of playing many instruments and styles, he is now working on new projects with the band Today Is The Day. In addition, he has a retail drum business in Florida, and has clinics and seminars.
