The drummer, clinician, and technique expert Bill Bachman has just shared on the Drummerworld forum that he had a stroke recently, which took out his ability to use his right hand.

He’s optimistic about making a full recovery, in time, but this is certainly a good time to reach out and offer some encouragement.
