In this clip, drumming legend Liberty DeVitto skillfully deploys the "Moeller Technique" while playing an arena show with Billy Joel back in the day. At its core, the Moeller Method is a technique focused on developing a "whipping" motion so as to maximise efficiency and fluidity while drumming. A great resource for the techique, and where I learned it, is drummer Dom Famularo. While Dom is no longer with us, there are many great demonstration videos of his on YT. Liberty DeVitto is an American rock drummer best known for working with singer-songwriter Billy Joel's recording and touring bands. He has been a session drummer on recordings of other artists and is now a member of The Slim Kings. He is credited as a drummer on records which have sold a combined total of 150 million units worldwide. #drummer #drums #drumming #drumchops #drumfam #drummingtechnique #moellertechnique #whippingmotion #rockdrummer #rockdrums #pocketdrummer #libertydevitto #drumgroove #80smusic #80saesthetic #billyjoel #allentown

Many of you know Torrey DeVitto from her six years on the TV Show “Chicago Med” playing Natalie Manning, but these days, she spends most of her time advocating for causes that encourage more compassion and conscious living.  Torrey’s father, Liberty DeVitto, is the longtime drummer for Billy Joel so it’s no surprise that music was her first passion. Torrey is also a dancer and model, and she advocates for eco-friendly fashion and makeup. Lately, you’ll likely find her on her farm in Michigan with her new fiancé, having the occasional ‘sloth day’—which we all need from time to time. I enjoyed getting to know Torrey and I know you will too.  Get the full episode at the link in my profile or wherever you get your podcasts.

Happy Birthday Liberatori “Liberty” DeVitto (born August 8, 1950) is an American rock drummer. He is best known for his work as a drummer for singer-songwriter Billy Joel’s recording and touring band. He has been a session drummer on recordings of other artists and now a member of The Slim Kings. He is credited as a drummer on records which have sold a combined total of 150 million units worldwide. Billy Joel - The Entertainer (from Old Grey Whistle Test)(1974) “The Entertainer” is a single by singer Billy Joel released as the only single from his 1974 album Streetlife Serenade. The song peaked at #34 on the US charts. The song is a cynical and somewhat satirical look at the fleeting fame of a musician and fickle public tastes (“Today I am your champion / I may have won your hearts / But I know the game / You’ll forget my name / (And I won’t be here / in another year) / if I don’t stay on the charts”); this theme would be examined in the later song “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me”. #billyjoel #theentertainer #streetlifeserenade #1970smusic #1970smusic #popmusic #pianomusic #ogwt #1970s #70s #throwbacksongs #livemusic #libertydevitto #richardbennett #russelljavors #dougstegmeyer#moog #drummer
