The Longhorn Drumline had a clinic this morning with Rascal Flatts current and long time drummer, Jim Riley before his show at the Paycom tonight. They learned drumset technique, rudiments, and musical form, among other subjects. It was so beneficial and quite a blessing! Thanks to Norman Music Institute for the invitation and for being such gracious hosts!
