Episode 92 - Gary Hess (Encyclopedia Of Reading Rhythms Author)

On today's Musicians Mentor show I speak with American based drummer/educator/author - Gary Hess.

Gary's professional music career began in the 70's playing clubs dates throughout the United States and Canada. In September of 1980 he became the first enrollee at the Percussion Institute Of Technology (P.I.T) and upon graduating a year later was offered a teaching position with the school as an instructor, where he stayed on staff for decades teaching some of the best drummers in the world as the facility eventually progressed into the now famously renowned - 'Musicians Institute'.

We talk about Gary's musical journey, musical ups and downs, the music industry and of course how he put together one of my all time favorite music education books, the 'Encyclopedia Of Reading Rhythms. A book he was actually kind enough to send me a few copies to give away of - for details please go to our instagram profile.
