An amateur drummer, interpreting progressive rock songs for just the fun of it... ;)
Hello all! Thanks for watching my videos... Drumming has been my favorite hobby for 30 years. Due to my professional career in astrophysics, I do not play as much as I would like now but I used to be in bands about everywhere I lived. I'm originally from Quebec so as a lot of people there, my favorite music is progressive rock. As you might have guessed by now, my all-time favorite band is Rush. I first learned about them around 1980 and then Moving Pictures came out... That was it. I had been playing the drums for several years prior to that but that album changed everything...

My drumkit is a Tama Starclassic Performer with birch shells done in a nice indigo blue finish (Toms: 8,10,12,13,14,15,16, BD:22x18, Snares: 14 x 5.5, 12 x 3.5). I also have a Roland V-drums Session set, arranged as a back kit. My actual set of cymbals is the 2112 Sabian Paragon set, limited edition of 30 around the world. I have all kind of other gadgets too, namely wind chimes, other pads, temple blocks, cowbells, triangles, etc. More, always more! The total cost of the kit is estimated at around $18K. To enter in the center of the kit, I move one of the rack arms of the electronic set, which is kept a bit loose... ;)

My list of favorite drummers is extremely long but here's some: Neil Peart, Mark Zonder, Danny Carey, Mike Portnoy, Bill Bruford, Phil Collins, John Bonham, Gavin Harrison, Stewart Copeland, Billy Cobham, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Dave Weckl, Simon Phillips, Nick D'Virgilio, Scott Rockenfield, etc.

NEWS (08/14/08): I will be moving to Arizona in September to start a new position (Director of the WIYN Observatory). So, at the moment, my drums are in their cases and ready to be shipped. Until we have a new house, it might take a while before new videos are made... Stay tuned! I know none of them have perfect performances but I tried my best! I do that only for fun... Enjoy!
