And So it Begins
October 30, 2006
Hey everybody, the out on the road phase is in full swing here. Just back from WI with the Winter Dance Party, headed to Nashville with Travis Howard and Chicago with Dennis Tufano. Canada after that for teaching and clinic appearance, then home for a little bit. It is great to be a musician!
Sammy K now at Zildjian!
October 18, 2006
October 1st 2006-the day I officially became a member of the Zildjian Educational Team. I am honored to be part of the world’s leading cymbal manufacturer, this is something I have wanted to do since I was 12 years old. My new endorsement from Zildjian will allow me to better teach students as I travel internationally to festivals and camps. Adding Zildjian’s support to that of REMO, Big Bang Distribution and Kotz Cajons will allow me to provide some wonderful materials to the students, and allow me to appear at more events each year. Kirsten M and Adam W at Zildjian made this all happen for me, and I am excited and humbled. None of it would have happened without Will Kennedy, and his support of me and my career. This is an exciting time for me for sure.
Brand New Site for Sammy K
October 1, 2006
So here it is … the all new SlamminSammyK.com! Jeff and the team at Forward Media Group really created a wonderful online home for me, and I couldn’t be happier. Please look around and enjoy the site, send me a message if you would like, and I will get back to you. This new site includes some wonderful pages and links, check them out and visit my favorite musicians and drum industry friends.
Since this is the site of a working musician, I will update my musical experiences around the world and put some thoughts up about what I am up to. I am Blessed to play with some of the best musicians in the world, and I really enjoy what I do for a living. I will use this blog space to update what is going on with me, and welcome hearing from you. Clinics and live dates will be in the calendar section, so take a look and come see me live.
As the site continues to grow, I will continue to add photos of my favorite roller coasters from my journeys. Roller coasters are my pass time away from the drums, and I will use an off day on tour to add to my list of those I have ridden.
Enjoy the site, Thanks for stopping by.
Blessings to you
Sammy K
