Colin Hilborne of Prentice Practice Pads is pleased to announce that George “Spanky” McCurdy is now endorsing Prentice Practice Pads. “Spanky is really an exciting signing for us.” says Hilborne. “It’s great fun to have our twist on the traditional practice pad enthusiastically supported by someone so “plugged into” today’s contemporary music scene.”

Though relatively young, McCurdy is a seasoned pro whom at the age of 13 was playing with several local acts, and at 20 he was playing with gospel phenomenon Tye Tribette. Since then McCurdy’s resume credentials have grown to include Lady Gaga, Kanye West, Diddy, Jill Scott, Justin Timberlake, Ciara, Mariah Carey,and Snoop Dogg.

2012 promises to be a big year for Spanky McCurdy as he tours with Lady Gaga. The top-earning female artist of 2011, Gaga has just announced April-July tour dates for the “Born This Way Ball” tour supporting her second studio album “Born This Way”.

Thanks to John Robinson for the photo and the magic that he spread wherever he goes. We first meet John at the Chicago Rebeat drum show 2011 . Where he played one of the best clinics that I have seen.
