This was a GREAT little Event, which was purposly small & low key to enable Working Drum Professionals like Myself & a small handfull of keen enthusiasts to have Personal & Direct contact with Billy.
Within Minutes of arriving I met Billy Ward & Presented Him with The Daddy Funk Presentation PaCkage & had a RelaXed Chat about Drumming, Trueline Drumsticks & His British Clinic Tour >>>
