A word from Paul:

Dude, I'll be in Hawaii……………..sweet. Goodbye Chicago winter and hello warm weather in Hawaii/Los Angeles as the ship ports from Los Angeles biweekly to Hawaii. It's an all expenses paid gig plus salary, that's like a paid vacation if you ask me. I get to play different styles of music night to night and the rest of the time will be devoted to practicing drums, re-evaluating my reading chops/jazz repertoire, and focusing more on my skype drum students.

Skype is a great way for students to keep in touch and stay motivated while I’m away but other people are encouraged to study with me even if it is just via skype! My best lessons while studying at Berklee in the past were always the ones where I just got to ask questions and talk shop about drumming. Simply chatting with my favorite teachers kept me motivated because it was inspiring to know that they are all human, well most of them anyway. haha jk
