Onward and upward!

Today we celebrate Dom Famularo! His passion for education and love for music was always the foundation behind The Sessions, and his legacy will live on in the next generation of musicians he’s inspired. His #ArtistSeries interview and speech from his 70th birthday are available on our YouTube. They’re both full of wonderful stories and advice. Feel free to check them out at the link in our bio!
Happy Birthday, Dom! 🎈
August 26th is Dom’s birthday. We find ourselves reflecting on the incredible moments we shared and the profound impact he had on so many lives. His laughter, wisdom, and the sheer force of his passion for life continue to inspire us.
Let’s make today a bit about sharing, just like Dom would have loved. Remember a funny moment, some wise words he gave you, or maybe share something you’ve done recently that Dom would’ve been thrilled about. It’s all about keeping his spirit alive in every story we tell.
It means the world to us to know you’re out there, remembering him and continuing to spread the love and joy he believed in so passionately. We are looking forward to reading your stories and memories. Let’s make this day a glowing tribute to Dom’s unforgettable presence in our lives. ❤️❤️❤️ #foreverdrummingsglobalambassador

Posted @withregram • @wizdom_media_llc We are thrilled to announce the release of our newest book, 20 Modern Snare Drum Solos by Daniel Bedard. @danbed27@global2dom@joebergamini #drumlessons #snaredrumsolo #drumbook #drummer #snaredrummer
Order here: /product/20-modern-snare-drums-solos/
(Note: Books will ship in 7-10 days from 4/24/24. Digital version will be released later this year.)
Daniel Bédard presents a challenging and fun collection of contemporary snare drum solos for all styles of drummers. Prepared under the encouragement of late Wizdom Media founder Dom Famularo, the book addresses all the various aspects of musical control for the snare drummer and drum set player.
In these 20 snare drum solos, you’ll find many varied themes, including rudimental playing; triplet-oriented pieces; paradiddle-oriented solos; 3/4, 5/4, and 7/8 time signatures; single-stroke studies; slow and fast solos; roll-oriented solos; rhythmic combinations; solos with rests; and much more. Most of the solos are built around 4- or 8-bar phrases so that you can only focus on a small chunk of information if needed.
“Many topics are explored, including a more modern use of the rudiments, triplet and paradiddle centered pieces, as well as a variety of meters, rhythms, and tempos. There’s a lot of stuff to explore! Students should have fun mastering the pieces and learning some new skills in the process. I would recommend it without reservation.”
- Gary Chaffee
“Brothers and Sisters of the Drum! If you’d like a challenging, creative view of rudiments, then this book is for you. Here is a great way to work on your technique that offers many musical performance options. The solos are excellent, exploring traditional rudiments, Swiss rudiments, Daniel’s rudiments, various time signatures, dynamics, reading, and more. There’s a lot in here to digest, and it would be a super valuable resource in anyone’s study library. Very well done!” - David Garibaldi
“Daniel’s new book will challenge your eyes, your ears, and your hands. It will stimulate new drumming possibilities on both the snare drum and the drum kit. I highly recommend it.”
- John Riley
Posted @withregram • @joebergamini Mentorship session with 2024 SABIAN Dom Famularo SEN Mentorship winner Maksym (Max) Logosha from Ukraine. In the face of incredibly challenging circumstances, Max maintains a passion for drumming and teaching that is inspiring. We are proud to have him as our winner and to help him in his goals! #drumteacher #sabianfamily #sabian #domfamularo
One thing that Dom loved deeply is getting together all the people he loved most to share stories and laughter. Jules Follett, with The Sessions, hosted a beautiful memorial at NAMM 2024 where we did just that. Dom’s enthusiastic passion for music and life meant so much to everyone he reached worldwide, and the stories shared at this event proved that tenfold. Check out the link in our bio to watch the full event recap
