Welcome to Rick Lawton's Sticks&Skins!

Rick Lawton's Slow It Down, Break It Down, book reviewed

First mentioned here last summer, when the largest selling drum magazine in the world, Modern Drummer reviewed Slow it Down, Break it Down, now the journal of professional drummers and percussionists the world over, Percussive Notes, has reviewed this popular book, too.

Professional jazz and classical drummer, author and educator Dr. Tom Morgan looked at the book in the February 2009 issue of Percussive Notes, the publication from the Percussive Arts Society, or PAS.
Read some quotes from Tom's review on our Books page.

Some photos from master drum lessons.

Rick Lawton, your host, author of every book offered on the books page, shared some photos from his most recent lesson with drummer, clinician and "ambassador of the drums", Dom Famularo. They're on the Author's page.

Now join Rick on another Master Lesson, this time from Dom's new Wizdom Drumshed, newly completed in beautiful Port Jefferson, New York. We saw the studio in progress last summer, and it's out of this world!

How about a bumper sticker as a present?
"Sit Down. Stand Out. PLAY DRUMS" pretty much says it all. Well, now, beside the sweats and t-shirts that say that, we've got bumper stickers that are all about the drums, too! (it's on the "goodies" page...)

Or maybe the Sticks&Skins original bumper sticker?
And—check this out—new pricing for bumper sticker designs, including the original Drummer Driver, means these bad boys are about 5 Bucks each!
