If you don’t know who Gregg Bissonette is, he has played with just about everyone who is anyone in the Music Business (including being the ONLY call that Beatles drummer Ringo Starr makes for his touring All Starr Band).
Gregg is a man whose incredible talent is only eclipsed by his spectacular character. His resumes includes such musical luminaries as Maynard Ferguson, David Lee Roth, Joe Satriani, Spinal Tap (he’s the only drummer who did NOT blow up), Bette Midler, Santana, Don Henley, and way too many more to list. In fact, here’s his Wikipedia page to handle that job for us!
In this video, Gregg goes several important topics perfect for anyone questioning First Steps to getting a gig, ANY gig.
*At some point, I have some more that I’d love to add and will plan on doing my own YouTube video as a companion to Gregg’s stellar work here.
