Drumming techniques for the beginner to advanced player!
Jamie Wollam grew up in Southern California. With a penchant for sports and a natural knack for music, he eventually decided to focus his energy on his love for drums.

Soon after, he landed his first pro-level touring gig as the drummer for Michael Sweet (of Stryper fame). This began a litany of high-profile work for artists such as Jackson Browne, David Crosby, Tommy Shaw, Fee Waybill, and Tom Morello's solo project, The Nightwatchman.
