The Minnesota Chapter of Drummers for Jesus hosted a drum clinic by Petar Poucki yesterday, 18 August 07. The event was a complete success with fellowship, refreshments, door prizes and an awesome session that was chock full of technical information and inspiration.
Petar is a long-time member of the drumming community and it showed in his playing. He approached the kit with a combined contemporary and classic style that was a bit unorthadox, being that he is a ‘leftie’ who plays on a ’rightie’ kit. His influences range from Bonham to Weckl and it was quite evident in his playing. He incorporated all sorts of Bonhamesque licks with more technical tom-tom runs that were reminiscent of Weck’s playing. This, in addition to other obvious influences (Peart, Collins, Porcaro) made for a tasty and refreshing vibe!!
A great time was had by all and we can’t wait for our next opportunity to hang-out with Petar and pick his brain for more inspiration.
