About Dom (from domfamularo.com):

"Ultimately I want today's generation to enjoy the fun of the challenge of drumming. I want to serve as their inspiration, to give people everywhere the opportunity to find their path of self-expression. Music is one of the most viable and enjoyable means of finding oneself. I am an Artist of Life and Art, which are both synonomous. How I live my life is how I live my art... and I enjoy them both together." -- Dom Famularo
