Gil Sharone
Technique, Feel and Versatility: From Reggae, Metal to Jazz
Drumset Clinic
Friday, 3:00 p.m.

Gil Sharone has been playing the drums since he was 13. Growing up primarily a self-taught player, he was heavily influenced by a wide range of musical styles and players, which helped to develop his chameleon-like versatility and feel. Over the years, Gil has built a strong resume with acts including Fishbone, Dillinger Escape Plan, Puscifer, +44 (filling in for Travis Barker), Otep, and more. Gil is also a respected educator and is very passionate about sharing his knowledge.  In the 2008 MD Readers Poll, Gil was voted #2 Up & Coming as well as one of the top five in Punk. In early 2011, Gil released his first instructional DVD, Wicked Beats: Jamaican Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae Drumming, through Hudson Music which won the 2011 Drummie Award for "DVD of the Year." Currently, Gil is focusing on his band Stolen Babies as well as his Dub/Reggae group, the ElectroQtors.
