Hosted by DJ and author Rob Levy, solo artist and former Aquanettas drummer Stephanie Seymour, drummer and author R. Alan Siler, and guy from London Anthony Williams.

This is the path we chose and we are here as your resource. Explore theory, history, ear training, technique, special topics and overall musicianship.
