SKF NOTE: Jon McCaslin posted some wonderful news recently on his Four On The Floor blog. Vinnie Ruggiero’s handwritten jazz drumming method book is now available thanks to Vinnie’s son.

Since the early 1980’s I have personally heard stories about Vinnie Ruggiero from Joe English and, most recently, Roy McCurdy. And now, thanks to YouTube, those of us who missed seeing Vinnie when he was alive, can at least see him on video.

Good for Vinnie’s son for keeping his father’s work alive.
