Scott is a fantastic studio and touring drummer. Scott began his career in Nashville TN in 1990 and has a catalogue longer than your arm. Fantastic and humble player, we are so happy you all were able to ask him your questions! He will be speaking on playing in a band environment, how to serve the music and answering YOUR questions.

Hi all – just watched this through and thanks for answering my question! It’s a great watch that covers lots of ground. I just wondered whether you have any plans for a guest lesson series from Scott so some of these topics could be expanded out a little?
Glad you dug it man! We have several individual lessons with Scott that we filmed that will be put in the members area over time. Many of them go deeper on the topics we touched on in this live stream.
Fantastic – looking forward to it! Thanks Stephen.
