Hey gang, I'm Don "Buddy" Blackburn!  I'm a professional percussionist, songwriter, instructor, and author of four drum set instruction books entitled, "Fill the Beat," "So You Want To Be A Rock Drummer," "The Circle of Drums," and "The Percussionist's Toolbox," which I promote and sell on Amazon.com Kindle eBooks.  I've been a member of the music community now for over forty years, and have had the opportunity to play, and/or work with, some of the finest musicians in the industry, including Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge, Wally "Gator" Watson of The Lionel Hampton Orchestra, Dr. Mike Beheimmer, Yamaha Organ's "Organist of the Year," in 1979, and Mike Kinnard of The Imperials.  Recently, I've been involved in a world-wide internet collaboration with a new band called Black Adder, which just released its first single entitled, "Killer Dance."  I also just completed the drum track to a new song from an amazing young artist named Ivana Fisher from Austria.  It's a blast being part of the new internet music revolution, and I hope that you enjoy my site!  If you would like to contact me, I can be reached at email:  donbuddyblackburn@gmail.com, or by phone at:  (812) 664-1120 (USA).  My best always, Don "Buddy" Blackburn.
