DRUM BEAT...

Esparza has been playing drums for 35 years. Rock and Roll was his first important
influence. One day fourteen years ago, he was drawn to this drumming form. As the old saying goes, "When the student is ready a teacher ap-pears," and this is exactly what happen-ed to Thomas. By chance, he walked into a jazz club in southern California, carrying his first small African drum. Earnest Moody, a well-known master of African drum and dance, was playing
that night. The moment he saw Tho-mas, he stopped pla-ying to invite him to join in. This experi-ence profoundly changed him, and Moody set him on the path of his life's work.
