SKF NOTE: Drum Channel‘s Don Lombardi, in the video with this post, introduces drummer George Marsh as an “unsung hero” who “should be world renowned.”

My introduction to Marsh was first through his Modern Drummer Advisory Board membership. Then through his well-respected drum method book, Inner Drumming. Plus, he’s recorded a number of albums with excellent musicians such as Denny Zeitlin, Dave Grisman, and Mose Allison.

Marsh has recorded on many albums. His own and others. You can buy and/or listen to them on Marsh’s website.

Keen-eyed SKFBlog readers can compare Marsh’s cymbal set-up in this circa 1982 Zildjian promo piece with Marsh’s set-up on the Drum Channel video.

A thoughtful, swinging player with deep traditional roots, and a permanent curiosity about new approaches to drumming, be sure to check out George Marsh.
