084: Gregg Keplinger (WAH, Keplinger Drums)

When he was a young man, Gregg Keplinger sneaked into a coat room to hear John Coltrane play with Elvin Jones. He drew inspiration from that experience and developed a fiery, sensitive style of his own. Aside from his career as a drummer, Gregg is revered as a drum builder; and–due to his exceptional wisdom and empathy–he has mentored many of the greatest drummers from the Seattle area.
