Hello Drummers/Drum Lovers,
Wackerman joined the Bill Watrous band in 1978 and later went on to work with
Frank Zappa for seven years; from 1981 to 1988. This was not an easy feat; Zappa required discipline, and the auditions for his band were notoriously grueling, according to Steve Vai and Wackerman himself.Two songs, "Mo and Herb's vacation", and "The Black Page" were considered drummer's nightmares. Only three drummers throughout Zappa's career were able to play them successfully; Wackerman, Terry Bozzio, and Vinnie Colaiuta.
