The interview is with Bruce Aitken an award winning drummer and educator from Invercargill who currently lives in Sydney. From 2001-2010 Bruce owned and operated the Cape Breton International Drum Festival, inviting a veritable star studded line up of drumming heavyweights to attend and perform work-shops. It was there that Bruce became a close friend with Hossam Ramzy and he shares some of those memories with us.
