Matt Zebroski is the Drummer of the Alex Skolnick Trio, MD caught up with him recently for an interview. MD: What inspired you to start playing drums at 12?

Drums were perfect for this and playing them came very naturally to me. MD: What was your main motivation for enrolling at the New School for Jazz & Contemporary Music in NYC?
