Alan Dawson Drum Method, Vol. 1 (1998)
Vol. 2 (Ongaku-no-Tomo Sha, 1999: contribution by Steve Smith)
Below is an excerpt from Modern Drummer 2005:
"Drummer / leader Osami Mizuno, based in Japan, is a seriously accomplished drummer who studied under Alan Dawson. This CD takes on a personal tone, as each composition is themed and dedicated to someone. The compositions here mix adventurous jazz and jazz/rock with the intereting perspective of traditional Japanese music, which really adds something special. As for Mizuno, swirling brushes, stately rolling cymbals, and an intense drum solo show his talent. Through the diversity of this album, Mizuno shows his mastery and sensitivity as a drummer."
He has endorsed TAMA Drums, PAISTE Cymbals, and PRO-MARK Drumsticks exclusively. Also under the auspices of SHURE Microphones,
