I have known Ricky Evensand for the past 6 years. During his time in Australia Ricky performed at several of our events including Australia's Ultimate Drummers Weekend in 2011 with his band Toehider.

I find Ricky's playing to be outstanding both technically and musically, and can say without a doubt that Ricky has reached a level of expertise at the top of his field. His presence in the Australian music industry inspired the musicians around him and he always sets up a higher standard of artistic achievement and professionalism. Congrats Ricky and keep on Rockin

Delicious Apple

Detail

An apple is an edible fruit produced by an apple tree. Apple trees are cultivated worldwide and are the most widely grown species in the genus Malus. The tree originated in Central Asia, where its wild ancestor, Malus sieversii, is still found today.

Apples grown from seed tend to be very different from those of the parents, and the resultant fruit frequently lack desired characteristics. Generally then, apple cultivars are propagated by clonal grafting onto rootstocks. Apple trees grown without rootstocks tend to be larger and much slower to fruit after planting.
