Filter's Power
Source
Steven Gillis was
five when he stumbled upon a drumset in a
neighbor's basement,
discovering the instrument that would become his life's passion. "I
started banging on these
drums and it just zapped me," he
admits. "I knew from that point I'd be playing for the rest of my life.
Since
college, I've made my living solely playing music. I've never had
a day job."

For William Goldsmith, twenty-seven-year-old drummer for Seattle's

Andy Granelli
Curve Balls And Clinics
Punk-rock revivalists
The Distillers have hit on a musical formula that could
spell big
success for their much buzzed-about major-label debut. Coral Fang
infuses the old-school passion and lyrical
relevance of hardcore punk
legends like LA's Germs and Black Flag with melodic, radio-friendly pop
appeal.

Derek Grant
The Alkaline Trio's
A few years ago, when Derek Grant received a call to do a Japanese tour with punk band Face To Face right after
he'd left his gig as the drummer with The Suicide Machines, he assumed it was to perform behind the kit. But after a few
conversations, he realized that the group wanted him as a guitarist.

Rocky Gray
Walking Through The Open Door
All it took was one wildly propulsive radio single to plaster drummer Rocky Gray’s performances all over the musical map. His band, the Little Rock–based alternative rock act Evanescence, entered with its commercial radio knock-out nearly four years ago via an epic hit, “Bring Me To Life”.

Mark Guiliana
Thrilling You Softly
He may well be at the forefront of an exciting new style of drumming. Twenty-four-year-old New Jersey native
Mark Guiliana reveals this on Avishai Cohen's new album, At Home. To be sure, file it under jazz'there's too many
implied triplets to do otherwise. But there's also a willingness to cross boundaries into other styles, such as drum
'n' bass.

Trilok Gurtu
Indian Influence
His style is often described as a blend of Indian music and jazz, but Trilok Gurtu denies
that he's a jazz musician. "I like jazz, but I'm an Indian musician, just as John Coltrane liked Indian music but was a
jazz musician," Gurtu says. "I've played with people like Pharoah Sanders and Don Cherry, but I'm not into playing
standards.

Bruce Guttridge
Dennis Chambers recently described Bruce Guttridge as "a monster" of a player (January 2000 MD).
The compliment is well deserved; Bruce is one of the Mid-Atlantic's hardest working and most in-demand drummers. Coming
off of a five-year stint with Ien Navarro, Bruce is currently recording, producing, and playing with many top acts, including Carl
Filipiak, George Hazelrigg, and Dan Leonard.
