Nick D’Virgilio joins world-renowned drummer Kenny Aronoff in Sweetwater’s Performance Theater to share some wisdom.
Best known for his work with John Cougar Mellencamp, Kenny shares how he created the drum groove for Jack and Diane. He also explains his practice routines, rules he lives by, how classical training has helped his rock drum technique, tips and tricks for studio recording and using gear, and much more.
