If you are the kind of nerd who once picked up "Modern Drummer," then you may be familiar with the musician Terry Bozzio. As a paper shredder to the next level, Bozzio has been using his legendary gonzo-fusion master Frank Zappa since 1975, and he has been part of the Zappa circle ever since; he is arguably the most famous person , He was the first to play the artist’s infamous and complex work "Black Pages" (obviously because of the way it was written on the sheet music, all the notes are tucked on the staff) and handled it easily. Bozzio's music His career has come a long way since his Zappa era. In the 1980s, he performed with Missing Persons, a synthetic pop musician, and for decades he played with various jazz and fusion ensembles, and appeared in albums by various artists including Richard Mark and Jeff Baker. -He even recorded some tracks with Korn in their 2007 album "Untitled". However, what made drum clinic fans flock to after so long is the ostinato-based solo drum music he began to develop in the 90s. Starting from his 1992 recording, Solo Drum Music I, he introduced a Huge drum kit. As it turns out, this is just the beginning; today, Bozzio is playing drum kit songs on a very large drum kit with more than 20 tuned toms, 50 cymbals and gongs, and 8 bass drums . I think for a young drummer, watching a live Bozzio solo performance is a ritual-I know it was a big deal when I was a kid. In this tour, he will perform 12 original works: ten on his huge drum set, one on the Kahun box drum, and one on the Japanese Taiko drum. If watching a person play drums for an hour on drums, the total value of these drums is equivalent to a house is your good time, then this show is not to be missed. v
