How did you get the gig with Iced Earth? |

I became friends with IE drummer Richard Christy when he ordered my drum video, "Performance & Technique", from me. We had a couple conversations where we expressed a mutual admiration for each other’s drumming. We stayed in contact over the next few months before he called me with a proposal to replace him as the drummer for IE. He was considering auditioning for (the vacated spot left by Stuttering John on) the Howard Stern Show. Richard has comedy in his blood and was excited about the opportunity to work on the HSS. I told him I was available for the remaining IE US tour and overseas festival dates. After that, I had a couple of conversations with Jon about the IE material and received a few CDs in the mail and began working on the songs. We rehearsed in L.A. for about a week before went out on the road.
