Luke meets Yoda...

I recently had a coaching session with drumming legend Ash Soan. Previous to meeting Ash, I had never seen him play drums... I had however (this probably extends to you) heard him drum.

For instance he recently had 3 top 10 albums; #1 with Adele, #5 with Cee Lo and a #8 with Eliza Doolittle

I won't brown nose and give you a definite history of Ash, but you can find all your answers here: www.ashsoan.com

Another drummer asked what I got out of the session as I was the one who had to ask the questions etc. Well, I got a whole load of self confidence back.

Most Wanted #4

THAT advert with all the drummers... Yes, THAT one...

From THAT advert I found Paul Stanley McKenzie (again) but grown up! Who'd a thought! A fantastic drummer that encompasses alot of what I love about drumming.

Photography/Videography update.

So recently I've been trying to make my own luck and create a definite presence on the interweb, so when you Google Rob Ling I come up and not a Minnesotan politician called Claire.

So for those of you who don't know the links you can find me at all your regular social networking sites. So follow me/like me/befriend me/subscribe to me and that way you can all be updated with such fantastic posts like; Drums in a KA or Rubbish drum kits in cartoons.

I've recently had some new headshots done, they do look rather good, well they look good the actual subject matter is another discussion...




The artist is local photographer Justyna Neryng who works from her studio in East Sussex. It was a pleasure working with her and as I've never really had professional photos done before it was a relief to find it was nothing like The Model Agency... She has some amazing photos, which can be seen at the following sites:

I've also managed to make my Blog look slightly odd, but on the plus side you can now see the Youtube videos without them being cropped. A minor victory...

As always follow the Blog! Till next time.
