Eric Perrilloux Complete Interview 2001

[@americanspirit8932]

I played snare drum in the Floyd Bennett golden eagles, from Brooklyn New York in 1960 and 1961. I would promise truck that was, Jim Shea, may he rest in peace. He was at that time snare drummer in the New York Skyliners, he instructed us to drum, and use techniques from, The Skyliners Drumline. I never met him in person, but it was a privilege to, emulate Eric's style drumming. Today is June 23rd 2022. Thank you for the Post brings back great memories.

Hey Larry, I've enjoyed watching your videos of drum corps history. My husband, Frank Ferraro, was the music director of the West Reading Police Cadets, and then the Reading Buccaneers. The gentleman in this video's name sounds so familiar. We may have met him at one of the DCA weekends. Was your dad, Frank McCormick? That name sounds so familiar to me. Thank you for sharing the history of drum corps.

Jerry Shellmar the clear number one

C'mon John, as great as Gerry Shelter was, Eric Perilloux was every bit as great. Give one of the greatest percussion arrangers and instructors in drum corps history his just due. Percussion arranger for the legendary NY Skyliners and the superb St. Rita's Brassmen, and countless other drum corps, he ain't chopped liver.

Excuse me John, it's Gerry Shelmer, this piece of crap phone played another damn word trick. Gerry is one of the all time greats, I recognize that.
