Yokohama Calling – Kaz Rodriguez – drummer Biography

“I LOVE TO SHARE MY KNOWLEDGE AND THEREFORE I TEACH WHENEVER I FIND THE TIME. THAT IS WHY I LOVE DOING DRUM CLINICS, TO BE GIVEN A PLATFORM WHERE I CAN EDUCATE ALL AGES ON HOW TO PRACTICE AND DEVELOP AS A PLAYER. MY ADVICE TO YOUNG DRUMMERS … CULTIVATE YOUR TECHNIQUE, EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE A GIFT, REMEMBER TO BE HUMBLE TO THAT GIFT. ALWAYS BE TRUE TO YOURSELF AND DON’T TRY TO BE SOMEONE ELSE.”
