A golden opportunity arose when a large scale cover band, Rick K and the Allnighters, brought Steve on board to be their touring drummer. With tour dates a year, it was not only a solid job, but incredible exposure. Steve walked up to John Blackwell, the drummer for Prince and introduced himself. To his surprise, John was ecstatic to meet him and even called over Johnathan Moffet, the drummer for Michael Jackson, to introduce them.
A larger-scale show with over ten people on stage and a bit more spotlight on the drummer. Steve openly admits he hates playing solos, even though he loves watching them. Laughs aside, the future seems extremely bright for Steve Moore. This does not seem to be the case here. By moving up in the musician food chain, Steve is establishing himself and the Mad Drummer as a brand with his own site.
Everything from merch to tour dates are included and the sky is the limit. Getting to do what you love for a career is an amazing feat, but being world renowned for it is another beast altogether. But to say they are both monsters is an understatement. I would say that almost every single person reading this could kick my tail as a drummer. But at the very least, this video is proof that if you enjoy your own playing, others will enjoy it as well.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to share some of my thoughts with you. And please feel free to reach out at any time with an email. I have several thousand in my inbox at the moment, so please try and be patient with me. I promise I will do my very best to get back to you as quickly as possible.
Have a great day, everyone, and thanks for reading! For more on Steve Moore, go to www. And to watch the video that everyone is talking about, go here: www. Skip to content. Digital Access FAQ. My Account. About MD. I'm doing my moves, and he's basically trying to keep up with me. Everybody on the show was incredible, and they treated me beautifully. I endorse Ludwig drums, but then I endorsed them prior to the video. Same with Pro-Mark sticks - I endorsed them beforehand.
I now endorse Evans drum heads, and the company has been great to me. I've tried all of their heads, but I always go back to the coated G2s. And then Mike Portnoy was kind enough to hook me up with [artist relations rep] Chris Stankee at Sabian, so of course I'm a Sabian endorser, as well.
Envision Keith Moon backing up Tony Bennett, and that's what you got. It's going to be really funny, and it'll be a nice change, as well.
I've never played with a big band before. We're hoping to get a project up. I'm trying to kind of do what Mike Portnoy does. He's got a lot of things out there, and that's what I'd like to do. Before your YouTube fame, you were still a successful working drummer. What kind of advice would you have for players out there as far as making a living from music?
You've got to get yourself out there. I can't stress that enough. That said, you've still got to be a decent player. You can be friends with everybody in the world, but if you suck, you're not going to keep a job.
You have to be good at your craft. People like to play with their friends; they like to play with people who they can get along with. If you're a cool person, people will recommend you for gigs. If you're hard to deal with, they won't. Get yourself out there.
