Hey everyone,

Been a while since I posted here but I just wanted to let you all know that I will be featured in an "Update Interview" in Modern Drummer in the June Issue coming out on May 5th 2009. This has been a long time dream of mine to be in the magazine and to have it finally come true is somewhat surreal BUT a HUGE honor. For all info on the issue, click the link below:

Hope you guys enjoy it.

On a side note, I just finshed a 3 day Rehearse-Fest with Devin and Beav.... "Addicted" is going to be fucking amazing. the songs are all consistent and they even got a bit heavier. It will still be very catchy but there are slammin' heavy vibes, in a positive way on this record. Fuck.... I'm excited, you all should be too, this album is gonna' make you all wanna' move! Stay posted...

Oh yeah, Pearl sent me a brand new 24 x18 Pearl Reference Kick Drum which I'm gonna' use on Dev's record - Best Kick sound EVER!!!! This drum is amazing!

OK, that's enogh babble, take care and talk soon. I'll update you all more the "Addicted" drum recordings soon...

Best,

RVP

Awesome news, man. Congrats on the interview!

I don't understand, why does a June issue come out in early May? Wouldn't that make it a May issue?

Anyway, very cool that you're in there, congrats!

It's quite common for magazines to be the issue for the coming month (buying a May issue late in May may seem like buying an old issue). But from what I understand, this issue has been out for like 2 weeks already.

I'll ask my mother if her shops carries Modern Drummer I think I still have that "Slagwerkkrant" issue with RVP somewhere!

Congrats Ryan, you deserve it! Hope your enjoying making addicted and i really hope that this isnt the last record you work with Dev on! Cant wait to hear you kicking the shit out of your drums!(in a good way of course)
