It was my great pleasure to meet Nikko at this event. I can't begin to tell you what a true gentleman he is. Nikko has been the MC at Drummer Live
for 3 years and he does a great job.
I have to admit, I was never much of a metal fan and knew of his playing only through what I heard on the radio. After watching him play - at vewry close proximity I might add - I have an even greater respect for him as a musician and a drummer.

 

 

 

 



My apologies for the sound on this clip! It was LOUD!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Cindy is...well, Cindy is one of the most fascinating drummers I have ever had the honor of photographing. As you sit there holding the camera you want to just put it down and experience her playing. As soon as the camera is down you want to pick it back up because you don't want to miss the opportunity to capture one of those explosive moments. And that IS Cindy - she has an amazing, commanding presence - one that draws you close and one that makes you want to take a few steps back. I've been a fan since I first photographed her during her famous single handed clinic performance at PAS several years ago.
