Dave Grohl is the real deal and lives and loves Rock and Roll.  After winning BEST ROCK VIDEO  at a recent  MTV Video Music Awards with his band, FOO FIGHTERS, Dave said in his acceptance speech, "I just want to say: Never lose faith in real rock and roll music, you know what I mean? Never lose faith in that. You might have to look a little harder, but it's always going to be there."

Grohl was the drummer and a integral member of Nirvana; the band that ushered alternative rock into the mainstream in 1991. While in recent years he has been best known as the front man and guitarist for the Grammy winning FOO FIGHTERS, he is still a drumming icon for those who love hard hitting drummers that play for the music, the song, and the band.  Dave has also lent his drumming talents to  other popular artists such as  Queens of the Stoneage, Probot, Tenacious D and Them Crooked Vultures.

Check this out!  A new FREE APPLE APP from Ludwig that will help us be better drummers no matter where we are or what we are doing.

Improve your time.  Start the tune at the right tempo every time.  Test your "inner" metronome.  All this is possible without spending any cash or carrying another piece of hardware with you to your gig.

What a great practice tool:

Choose from 9 time signatures.  Perfect for working on my Joe Morello "Take 5 " solo.

Do you really know how fast 120 bpm is?  Check your accuracy of your internal clock with "Tap Tempo" feature.

So what IS the appropriate tempo when the music calls for "ALLEGRETTO"?  This app will tell you the correct musical term for the tempo that you are choosing. ( I sure could have used that in my college music classes.)
