Ex-FATES WARNING Drummer Issues SAM ASH Clinic Recap

December 24, 2008

SLAVIOR/ex-FATES WARNING drummer Mark Zonder has issued the following update:

"The Sam Ash clinics last Tuesday, [December] 16 and Wednesday, [December] 17 went great. The first clinic was at the new Sam Ash Drum Shop in Hollywood. Great drum store with everything you could think of as well as a great-sounding room. My drums sounded great in the large room and I really had a good time. Sort of cool doing a clinic and looking out on Sunset Blvd. at the same time. Dave Elrod and his staff did a great job and really helped me out. The second clinic, the next day, was at the Puente Hills Mall. It rained all day and I thought this was going to be a mess as I was sick as a dog. Another great store and Dave and his staff were just as helpful as the day before. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how many people showed up. After doing a few of the clinics in the L.A. area, I am starting to see some of the same people coming to more than one clinic. Zildjian, Remo, Vater and Toca had all of the great give-aways. Everyone left with a prize of some kind.

"Starting to line up some clinics for next year. The San Diego area is a main focus at this point. Really love doing these clinics. You can be the drummer and lead vocalist at the same time!"

Video footage of Mark Zonder's October 27, 2008 clinic at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California can be viewed below.

SLAVIOR's self-titled debut album was released on April 3, 2007 via Inside Out Music. A versatile, melodic hard rock/metal act, SLAVIOR's debut album features elements familiar to Zonder's progressive metal past, but also introduces a wide array influences including reggae, hip-hop, and modern rock.
