FRANKIE BANALI's 'Tribute To Led Zeppelin' Honored At MAVRIC INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS - Feb. 23, 2009

FRANKIE BANALI & FRIENDS's "24/7/365 - The Tribute to Led Zeppelin" was honored in the "Tribute CD Of The Year" category at this year's Mavric Independent Music Awards, which celebrates the music community of Ventura County, California. The awards ceremony was held last night (Sunday, February 22) at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Center.

Check out photos at this location.

"24/7/365 - The Tribute to Led Zeppelin" is former QUIET RIOT drummer Frankie Banali's labor of love. Frankie invited many of his friends to join him on making a heartfelt tribute to his favorite drummer John Bonham and his band LED ZEPPELIN.

Video footage of Frankie Banali's "24/7/365" drum clinic, which was held on October 4, 2008 as part of the 11th annual Hollywood Vintage and Custom Drum Show in Hollywood, California, can be viewed below.

	I'm not a drummer so I'm not on the highest authority, but that wasn't very good.

	COMMENT \| Not really impressive at all. posted by : ThrashMaster 2/23/2009 7:30:36 PM

	I might have booed him if I were there.

	Rock on Frankie. Keep on Banging your head \m/

	That is what this is. He is using the same setup as Bonzo used. He didn't have the huge sets like today's drummers use. His hands and wrists have the same movement as Bonzo.

	COMMENT \| NICE GUY - HORRIBLE PERFORMANCE posted by : booboocachoo 2/24/2009 6:36:08 AM

	WOW - That was horrible! There's really nothing to say except - WOW.... Hack level drumming recorded on video. Love the guy, but that sucked. He was always loose, but this is shameful.
