On Febuary 17th 2010, Dom Famularo held an event at The Hard Rock Cafe in New York City to host The Jim Chapin Memorial Teachers Scholorship Award Show. I was asked to be part of this great event. Dom Famularo has been my Teacher and also my mentor. The last drum teacher, Russ Moy who had been my teacher and preparing me for a life in music had become ill in the last few years, he was unable to play anymore. Dom thought it would be a great service to Russ If I had presented him with a Life Time Achievement Award for his Contribution and his unending dedication to the art of drumming. Dom thought it would be a Great thing to do because a few years back, Russ Moy Presented Jim Chapin with a Life time Achievement Award for his dedication in Drumming and writing one of the best drum books in the world. Dom also asked my 2 boys John and Robbie to also present the award since they both Studied with Russ. In attendance were Bernard Purdie, Joe Morello, Sam Ulano and Ed Shaughnessy of The Johnny Carson Show. All of these drumming legends came out for Russ's the occasion. I must say, it was a very emotional moment for everyone when we presented the award. People in the audience also included JoJo Mayor, Anton Fig, Antonio Sanchez, Carmen Appice, Joe Bergamini and Steve Gadd. A highlight was Steve Gadd had finally been able to meet Joe Morello. It was a special evening to presenting an award to a great teacher. Thank you Dom!  Robbie McNamara
