Gretsch Drums Artist of the Month - 
David Bowie's Black Star Drummer.

Mark Guiliana is an acclaimed drummer, composer, educator, and founder of Beat Music Productions. For David Bowie's final adventurous recording, he enlisted five of New York City's most adventurous musicians. Guiliana being one.  He has earned international acclaim for his innovative and creative style, recognized by the New York Times as "a drummer around whom a cult of admiration has formed." 

Over the past decade, he has toured extensively around the world, performing in 45 countries across 6 continents. In 2014, Guiliana created Beat Music Productions, his independent record label, as an outlet for his diverse musical vision. In that same year, he was featured on the Grammy-nominated album Mehliana: Taming the Dragon, his duo project with jazz icon Brad Mehldau on keyboards and synthesizers, as well as David Bowie's latest single, "Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)".
