Drum Show Souvenirs: In addition
to the usual show shirt (Gregg Potter, below right), in 2008 we added
commemorative drumsticks and stickers. The sticker (below left) is 5"x5"
UV coated, ideal for road cases, etc.
Our thanks to Gregg Potter and
Cindy Blackman for allowing us to use their images for these souvenirs!

one. Med, Large, XL They are $10.00 for the Black shirt and $12 for

a lot of great video footage that can be accessed at the same site.

his Master Class and in the Green Room before his clinic- very unique
stuff!
