I am shocked... it hasn't yet been a week since my dear friend Solange was killed and I just stumbled across this article to learn that my friend and fellow drummer Troy is dead. We weren't really close anymore but we went to The Drummer's Collective together and would cross paths from time to time... I'm really in disbelief - and this one is so mysterious. May God bless you and keep you Troy - you will be missed!
