I had maybe 5 “masterclasses” with him in the late 80’s / early 90’s. About 15 years later I saw him, said “you probably don’t remem…” before he hugged me and said “Lee of course I remember! You, Mikey Dave would drive up from Philly…” totally blowing me away because he knew EVERYONE. “You know I was just talking with Mr. Steve Gadd about that very thing…” Not just a great drum teacher, a great teacher in general.

This was so great. Thanks yet again, Brandon and all at Drumeo. I remember waking up on the morning of what would be my first lesson with him. It was snowing hard outside and I hadn't been driving all that long. So I called him and said, "Man... I woke up to a blizzard. I think I might have to postpone, because I'm not sure it's safe to drive all the way to Long Island, but I don't want to miss our lesson. I don't know what to do." To which he replied, "I understand. it's totally up to you. But you're gonna have to decide if you want to be a viking or not. Are you gonna be a viking?" I got in the car, braved the whiteout, and it was a great lesson. Another time, he called my house to invite me to Jim Chapin's birthday party and got my mom. He said, "Hi, this is Dom Famularo and...." She cut him off immediately and good-naturedly said, "I know who you are!" To which he replied, "Oh...yes... thank you, thank you." 😂 I miss going out to his house, getting ripped on (great) Italian coffee (I needed the caffeine to keep up with him), and leaving empowered and inspired. Those were the days. Love ya forever, Dom.

The best lesson from his legacy is what he said about his parents and household that he grew up in a household that was open to people from different backgrounds whether religions, countries etc, something that is sadly no longer the reality. Sadly never got to meet the great man. What a beautiful soul

I was lucky to have honor to be a student of Doms in the late 80's. First lesson we didn't touch the drums!! Instead, he gave me the best motivational speech I've ever heard. Couldn't wait to get to my second lesson a week later. He had biggest personality of anyone I've net in this life. He will be missed!
