S2 E32 Preview; The Engine Room Drummer Andrew Griffiths, Author of "Progressive Rock Drumming", Business Owner 'Frets & Sticks Music co'
Preview of S2 E32 Andrew Griffiths, author of "Progressive Rock Drumming", Business Owner/ Manager 'Frets & Sticks Music co' Andy joins me in The Engine Room this week to chat about his career. This is a preview of one of Andy's many stories that he tells during his interview. This is part of his memorable gig stories, when he explains how the Adelaide band "The Dagoes" broke up during their gig at "The Tivoli Hotel." The Full Episode will be available to listen to on Saturday 12th of June. Please Follow the BAND IT ABOUT - podcast series so that you don't miss the next episode.
Andy has over 40 years experience in performing, recording and songwriting throughout Australia, having spent 7 years in Sydney and Melbourne as part of his Professional playing career. His first Adelaide band was the very first Punk/New Wave band in Adelaide "Black Chrome", Simon Stretton - vocals, guitar, Simon Dillon - bass, Andrew Griffiths - drums. Alan Griffiths, younger brother of Andrew, joined the band for the second half of 1977 as the vocalist, this enabled Simon Stretton to concentrate fully on playing guitar. Simon then played guitar and sang through the rest of Black Chrome's existence. The band released a single in 1978 Australia's God/We Are Tomorrow.
The Dagoes were a rock band from Adelaide that was the catalyst in 1979 for Doug Thomas to create Greasy Pop Records, Andy was their drummer for one of the bands lineups, and this preview explains how that band broke up.
Andrew Griffiths, is also the internationally recognized author of "Progressive Rock Drumming", which is a comprehensive, lesson by lesson guide covering all aspects of playing drums in a group. Studies on: solos, rolls, fills, and syncopation. Within the three main sections of the book, a lesson by lesson structure has been used to give a clear and carefully graded method of study. Music theory is gradually introduced to help the player understand the material being presented and enable them to create their own rhythms and beats.
Andy is the owner, manager, and Drum Teacher of 'Frets and Stix Music', which was established in 1992, Andy is supported in the shop by his wife Danielle Griffiths and Zak Taylor. The shop is situated south of Adelaide in Reynella, and is dedicated to serving the southern suburbs with high quality service and advice when looking to purchase your first musical instrument, and has built a reputation for providing great after sales service for over 28 years.
