The Passing of a Legend...

Wednesday "Crazy" Eddie Barbato passed away after living with prostate cancer. Eddie was a fantastic drummer and though I only met him a few times he had a profound impact on my life. He taught my friend and former bandmate from "Soundcheck" Kristin Brown the art of the drums, and through her inspires me to be a better drummer.

Eddie barbato was the greatest drummer. I knew him from the time he was 16 and he will always live in my heart and prayers.

He did his own thing thereby bypassing a huge career with famous artists.

Rest in Peace , Eddie
You will be missed by many

Love always, Misty
