I can only believe Rich's commitment to his craft, his team oriented spirit and his intense drive have factored into my success. Rich is the perfect person to teach people how to create success in their lives."

"Rich Redmond is a ball of energy that makes for a dynamic clinic. He does a great job of combining information about success along with his drumming in a way that can be really beneficial to the participants in all areas of their lives. I also greatly appreciated that he made a point to make sure that he got to personally meet and talk with everyone who stayed around at the end of the clinic. He connected with his audience onstage and offstage!"

"The faculty and students were more engaged in this clinic than any clinic we have brought to Texas State University. Rich's enthusiasm is absolutely contagious! The hour and a half flew by and then the students couldn't get enough of him after it was over! The information he is putting out is unique and needs to be heard by starry eyed students! I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to have hosted Rich!"

Rich's infectious energy is very useful for what he does. I get motivated to play. As a featured drum set clinician, Rich Redmond is a wonderful performer and speaker. He spoke to a diverse audience of students from our Creative Arts Department, including majors in Commercial Music, Sound Technology, and Video and Television Production. Rich’s ’C.R.A.S.H. Course for Success’ addressed universal principles that relate to anyone who wants to achieve his or her goals and dreams in life.”

“THANK YOU for an outstanding clinic at Northern Illinois University! Your presentation combining musical preparation along with people skills, business follow-through and building connections in the musical world will prove very valuable to our students. Universities do a great job at training the musician, but not a great job at preparing these musicians for the real musical world. Thanks for bridging the gap!”
Robert Chappell
Professor of Percussion

“The format and pacing of Rich’s clinic was perfect. It’s always educational and enjoyable to hear such a wonderful drummer perform. Rich’s time is impeccable. Given that drum set is not one of my strengths, Rich’s clinic provided my students with valuable information and examples on styles, technical approaches, and equipment choices. It was very useful for them to hear that Rich practices what he preaches. When Rich played along with some recordings he’s made it really emphasized the musical and stylistic points he was making; it was a very effective tool. I think another very valuable aspect of Rich’s clinic was the information he shared on how he has approached his career, the dedication it takes, the ability to survive rejection, and the reality of making a living as a professional musician and what that means to your daily life schedule. Students often have a misguided notion of life on the road and in the recording studio. Rich’s clinic provided them with practical realities while at the same time encouraging their dreams—it doesn’t get better than that."

"Rich’s entertaining style on the drums really captures the attention of everyone in the audience!!! During our clinic, he inspired musicians of all ages to devote positive attitudes toward the work required to lead successful lives-especially those related to music. Rich Redmond’s enthusiasm for playing drums cannot be misunderstood; being a drum set player, I left the experience ready to burst out of my shell!"

"In November we had the pleasure at Spring Creek High School, to have Rich Redmond present a drum set clinic to 110 students in our school. Rich not only plays well but he is a wonderful teacher and motivator. He spoke with our students about setting goals and taking the steps to reach those goals. Our students are still excited about this event and they are even talking about putting a page in our yearbook dedicated to the Rich Redmond drum clinic."
