Below is a cut-and-paste directly from my band webpage....................
Drummer, RICHARD WILSON got his first set of drums for his 11th birthday and never put down the sticks. During his college years, RICHARD had the pleasure of studying jazz drumming and symphonic percussion under the tutelage of Paul Guerrero and Steve Houghton, both of which played for the great Woody Herman, and both of which also played in the famous One O’Clock Lab Band at the University of North Texas under the late, great Leon Breeden. While studying big-band swing and symphonic percussion by day, Richard honed his chops in the legendary Mother Blues and other fabled night spots during the heyday of Dallas rock & roll.
Throughout his multifaceted musical life, Richard has enjoyed teaming up with so many wonderful vocalists and instrumentalists, both for the live stage as well as the recording studio, and is especially pleased to be percussion support for ROCK CANDY.
With abundant seasoning and analysis, Richard produced his equipment assessment: “Gretsch USA and Zildjian — what else would I ever need ?”
