Excited to publish a new page on my website dedicated specifically to lessons. If you or someone you know wants to take lessons in drum set, snare drum, composition/arranging, music theory/improvisation, or just receive more general musical coaching, Iâm your guy! Iâm also offering tailored feedback if folks just want to send over a video. Visit mccoyplaisted.com/lessons for more info.
Iâd really appreciate it if youâd share this to your stories or send a DM to anyone you think might be interested in working with me. Cheers, and looking forward to working with you!

A little solo action from Ian and me at last nightâs gig!

Come out to @silvanaharlem next Wednesday and support .mp3 đ¤ The band features @ianbehrstockmusic on trumpet, @kaythoven on keys, @phooploop on bass, and myself on drums. Our set is from 10-11pm. Would love to see some familiar faces!
TL;DR: I stepped away from bandleading for quite a while and came back feeling reinvigorated, ready to step back into the role after spending time at the @boysieloweryjazzresidency this summer. I met Ian and K there, and I now consider them dear friends â¤ď¸ Not only did I make friends with some of the most killing musicians I know at Boysie, but we all got to perform at the Clifford Brown Jazz Festival to cap things off. It was truly unforgettable. I have to thank @jonathanwhitneymusic for the opportunity (and for geeking out about all things DCI/snare drum with me). I also began grad school at @newschooljazz this fall, where I was blessed to meet Phoebe as part of my cohort in the Master of Music Performer-Composer program! We all got to play together as an ensemble for the first time for my project in @matwiljazzâs Make A Record course at The New School. What an amazing opportunity! Thanks to Matt for his wisdom, encouragement, and oversight on the project. Phoebe also introduced me to @lizthehock, a truly delightful person and an absolutely burning alto player (youâll be seeing more from her, trust)! Anyways, that was my long-winded life update. Thanks for reading if you got this far, and I hope to see you at Silvana on Wednesday at 10pm!

Hey friends! .mp3 is playing a set at the @ericcarlemuseum this Thursday, 7/24, as part of the @northamptonjazzfest Sunset Thursdays series! Itâs a beautiful spot for some outdoor jazz, and itâs FREE! (The gig will be hosted indoors if it rains.)
Iâll be playing with the amazing @birds_in_dylans_yard and @aeneasmusic_ . Would love to see some familiar faces. Come hang!
A special thanks goes out to @carolsellsandswings for the opportunity!

Some phone audio noodles from the basement shed today. Practicing solo ideas for a minute over a three bar vamp is more challenging than Iâd expect! And seeing what comes out (no matter how rough around the edges) has been a treat. Iâve overall become WAY less critical/harsh towards myself and my playing in particular. Looking ahead, Iâve got some exciting things on the horizon that I canât wait to share! Hope yâall are doing well đ

In honor of the legendary Max Roach, the UMass Drumline brought down the house with an electrifying performance of his iconic solo âFor Big Sidâ (arr. McCoy Plaisted) at the Max Roach Centennial Tribute Concert!
Did you know? Max Roach, a pioneer in jazz and civil rights, was a professor at UMass Amherst for over 20 years, turning our campus into a global hub for jazz education!
Special shoutout to Professors Jeffrey Holmes and Ian Hale for their incredible support in making this performance happen! #MaxRoach100 #UMassJazz #JazzLegends #ForBigSid #UMassPride #JazzEducation
