Mi2N.com – ‘Spotlight On Haiti’ Benefit Concert Featuring MuteMath To Take Place In New OrleansHere is a great charity that raises money for the suffering people of Haiti. This concert features the band MuteMath, whose recording "Armistice" was nominated for a Grammy. I am actually quite partial to their self-titled first release. It has a major early-Police influence (minus the reggae feel) mixed with with a generous dallop of 80's Modern Rock (college radio) vibe.

Jim Chapin In Memoriam. Headlines from the Drumming WorldWith a tear in its eye the drumming world bids farewell a master drummer and educator, Jim Chapin. Mr. Chapin was a very giving soul who shared his expertise freely with anyone who had interest. A fixture at the NAMM show as well as the PASIC convention and other events, Mr. Chapin would give impromptu lessons as everyone gathered around.

There was a palpable sense of joy to the information he was imparting, and even had some great stories to tell about his stellar performing career. I have no intention of minimizing that great performance career but here my comments focus on Mr. Chapin's educational impact.
