The Digital Truth came to me from reading one more time some pages of Snow Crash, the visionary, incredibile and beautiful 1992 novel by Neal Stephenson. A milestone of cyberpunk and a portait of our possible, probable future. If you have read (and loved) the book, ask yourself who can be The Deliverator, the greatest sword warrior in the world, last of freelance hacker, co-creator of Metaverse and a guy with an hurricane running on his back.

According to Hudson Music top ten, Secret weapons for the modern drummer – A guide to hand tecnique, by His Majesty of Stick Control Jojo Mayer, is the august 2008 Europe best selled drums educational dvd. And the german version of the same Mayer’s title hold the second place.

Steve Gadd’s ‘Master series’ is on the third place; followed Mike Portnoy’s ‘In constant motion’ and Thomas Lang ‘Creative coordination’.

A drum battle envolving two giants. Tony Royster Jr is a true talent with powerful, warm, solid groove. He was predestined to be a drums star since he barely can walk. Jojo has an extraordinary tecnique and a visionary mind. One is red, hot, some kinda ‘erotic’ drumming; the other is a tiny steel blue weapon, sharp like a japanese sword. Good for us they both play drums, and we can enjoy two different way of being a great drummer.
Video is not so good, but that’s it
