Practice, Practice, Practice
Under Blackley’s tutelage, Scott began developing his musical aptitude and signature drumming style. He absorbed and polished drumming fundamentals and embraced a selfless approach to musical artistry that has served him well in his drumming career. “I was incredibly fortunate to study with Jim for four years… to this day, the thing I remember most was that not once did Jim ever "show me " anything by way of demonstration. But he sure did paint big pictures and dispense great wisdom and perspective. He would say one thing and it would completely undo me and change my whole approach to some aspect of my playing. I am a student of Jim’s for life.”
Thanks to his years with Jim and additional studies with other drumming legends, Scott is now passing the torch to a new generation of players through his Modern Drum Room studio.
