Ernie is a great teacher and person to hang with!!
Hey Ernie, Thanks SO much for the great drum lesson! I am digging the exercises you showed me and already feel those muscles developing – now I just gotta get the brain to follow. You are a joyful person to learn from and to be around ; )
Ernie, I wish we lived closer so we could play and hangout a little. Keep on swingin’ buddy, you’re a real musical joy.
Tom Cummings.
Thanks Tom!!! Let’s jam sometime again.
Happy Birthday Ernie! Love your music and I used to live in Austin. I played with the Lone Star Country band featuring Junior Moody. He was George Jones first fiddle player. Please send a physical address for mailing a birthday present to you. I think you will like some Flack Wackers you can see and hear on my simple website via a short video. 319-533-5007

Hy man, nice to see that you’re still around.I saw you on video playing with the texas tornados, Freddy, Doug and the gang.Boy, were they a fantastic group of players as well as yourself.The sound was unique, and it could never be copied.Too bad I never got to see the band in person (was too young) but I listen to the video all the time.Now that I have read that you have music out there I am going to find it and listen to it also.I love the drums.Stay well, and keep on keeping on.
Yes..Almost 30 yrs now with the Texas Tornados

Thanks for the kind words Alex!!! Hurry back!
We will keep the flame burning. Sir Douglas Quintet and Texas Tornados forever!
Øyvind…Come to Austin soon my friend.
what wonderful serendipity, tagging you from William Cannon as our paths crossed at the Manchaca post office yesterday — one in a string of pleasant encounters that day.
And much empathy with you and trips between Austin & San Antonio; with or without ac in your car, that drive is not anywhere like it was decades ago (high school there, and lots of back and forths in recent years while my mother was still alive.
Thank You so Much!!
Ernie Durawa
Yes Yvonne..Nice meeting you!
Ernie played on a couple of demos for me in ’89 and ’90 at Firestation Studios in San Marcos…with Augie Meyers and Randy ? (steel and keyboard guy). and Gary Hickinbotham … I loved that experience hearin some songs come to life…great drummin Ernie and hello! – Tom Sperry

ERNIE,
I HAD A HERNIA REPAIRED LAST FRIDAY, AND I’M OUT OF WORK FOR 6-8 WEEKS. NO DRUMMING EITHER. I AM WRITING MY BOOK, DURING THE TIME OFF, AND WILL CALL YOU FOR THE FOREWARD, IN A WEEK OR SO. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN AORTIC ANEURYSM, DURING MY PREADMISSION TESTING. TAKE CARE AND TALK TO YOU SOON.
LOU VAN HAUTER,BROKEN PAW, DRUMMING BEAR, COUNTRY RHYTHM BAND, FOGELSVILLE PA.
Hi Lou,
We’ll get that done for you sir.
I have been working on my house plus playing gigs…so I’m running behind.
Hope you recover well from your ills.
Best Wishes,
Ernie
Hi there Ernie,
I was sitting in Giddy Ups Saloon in Manchaca, Texas this evening and it’s a good thing I was sitting ’cause you walked in and I almost fell off my chair. I was so surprised to see you I couldn’t even speak to you. I apologize for that. I was thrilled that you looked at me and gave a nod to me. You were with Murali and he sang a couple of songs with Speedy Sparks and Grady Pinkerton. What a very pleasant surprise for me. Great to see you .
Jan
Well Jan,
Sorry we didn’t get to visit..Were you sitting at the very next table? I had to stop by and see my pal Speedy since we have been bandmates for 30 years with the Tornados and I wanted to bring Murali by so he could sing…It was a fun night..We ended up at Sam’s Town Point where we both sat in.
Come check out my Tuesday show at Strange Brew at 6pm …Murali is my guest next Tuesday.
All The Best!
Ernie
Happy Yule Ernie! So nice to see you doing well, last time I saw you was in Randall’s of all places! Love and Peace to you! Your X banker lady! Debbie Dillingham
Wow Debbie,
It’s been a while….Are you still a banker? I host a show every Tuesday at Strange Brew 5326 Manchaca at 6pm. Come check us out.
Happy New Year
Hi Ernie! No, I left banking years ago. I work for UT in ITS as a Sr.Business Analyst on a project decommissioning a 40 year old mainframe. Hope you are wonderful and we will have to come see you at Strange Brew for sure. Happiest of Holidays!!
Good to see you again, Ernie.
Hi Eric,Thanks for staying in touch..I wish you the best with your music and Merry Christmas!’
Thanks for signing my guestbook!
Hello Ernie,
Hope you are well.
I’ve been watching a bunch of your videos. Always enjoy watching you play the
drums.
I might try to make some of your future shows. Sometimes it’s difficult getting around
due to being partially handicapped, caused by lower back fusion surgery (stay away from
back surgery).
I’m still playing my Roland drums, for my own enjoyment & sometimes, my family’s
enjoyment (I think).
I’m 81 now & still single. How about you?
If you get a minute ‘drop’ me a line at gmirab@verizon.net
Take care,
Ciao,
George Mirabella
Thx for your kind words…So good to hear from you George and thanks for signing my guest book.
Ernie
Hi Ernie,
Best wishes from the Great Southern Land – well, Perth, Western Australia, to be exact. I’m planning on being in Texas next year for the Austin City Limits Festival, so I hope our paths cross somewhere, somehow, as in you playing and me watching and listening.
Hello Mike,
Yes Im still in Austin and you can hear me play every Tuesday evening at The Backstage El Mercado…1302 S.1st street…or you can call when you’re town on my cell phone to find out where Im playing.
512-913-4899…and also here on my web-site I post most of my gigs.
Best Wishes
Ernie Durawa

Hola Ernie,
Marcia and I were browsing YouTube today and especially enjoyed your 42 minute interview at Drummer Cafe in Nashville where you are respected as a key contributor. We have both loved your shows at Strange Brew on the Ernie Durawa Stage and your shows at Backstage at El Mercado. You have the most incredible guest musicians: Texmaniacs, Linda Gail Lewis, Murali Coryell, Los Jazz Vatos, Ruben V, Joe King Carrasco and so many more.
We enjoy running into you at Central Market from time to time — like a neighbor.
Thank you for all you do and for all the musicians you help in their careers. Your website is terrific with its blazing hot design and colors and even some photos by Bob Crockett.
With our best regards,
Steve and Marcia Sackmary
Hey Thx Steve for your kind words!
I have a lot of good guests coming up…some well known and some not so well known.I love my job. Hope to see you and Marcia real soon.
Ernie! Thank you for the drum lessons, I had no idea I could play the drums until you showed me how! You’re a great teacher. You make leading easy and fun and the best part is getting to see you and the super talented musicians/artists perform with you every Tuesday night at El Mercado! Thank you, your Majesty. Your dear friend, Heather Rooney
Heather
Thank you for your kind words.
I’m so happy you’re enjoying the lessons
Keep it going????????????
Great website, Ernie. Very impressive body of work. It was nice to meet you on Saturday. I see that you and Marlon share the same birthday, Dec. 4th. Also, I named my white cat Omar after Omar and the Howlers because he is so vocal and howls a lot! Take care and I’ll see you around.
Hi Mary,
Thanks for signing my website.I know Omar well as he has been my guest before at my residence. It was also nice meeting you.
Best Wishes!
Ernie
Ernie it’s the president of the Durawa Society – Great Lakes Region

Thank you Ernie and Los Jazz Vatos for Grazin in the Grass !!
Thank You China!
It was awesome to meet you yesterday, Ernie! You are a true living piece of Texas History! I look forward to hearing your beautiful music live!
Thank You Chris and it was also nice meeting you and your husband yesterday as well!
God Bless!
Ernie,
Thankyou for the interview at the Drummer’s Cafe. I found it very informative and enjoyable.
I look back now at the time I spent in Austin and with great fondness, I think of the many ways you went out of your way to help me…one being having the Texas Tornadoes play in my living room, and you allowing me the chance to jam with them.
Mostly, I respect the effort you made to become a truly well schooled drummer with the Roy C. Knapp school of music….made you awesome with your natural ability.
Peace,
Robyn
Hey Rob!
Thx for your kind words and for signing my guest book and for being a great neighbor back then.
It was great seeing you and your family last time you came to town.
Take care and stay in touch.
God Bless
When did you say Blue M

My favorite drummer in the world. !
Thank You for your kind words!
Much Love!
You are one extraordinary drummer, Ernie! Love your guests on Durawa Tuesdays at The Backstage!
Thank You Zara!
We miss you!
Every time that I visit this website, it brings back so many good memories. The site is a testament to the incredible growth in Ernie’s musical talent, good works, outreach to others, sharing of abilities and resources and more. We continue to love our Tuesday night Durawa Music and friendship fix at El Mercado. Every conversation with Ernie usually includes a new music history discovery for us. The man is a major link across the beats of today’s Tejano, Tex Mex, Jazz, Blues and more.
Thank You Steve for your words of encouragement.
It’s my honor to call you my friend.
Great to know Ernie and his sense of humor. As a long time Texas Tornado/SDQ fan, all I can say is, Ernie rocks!!!!!!!
Thank You Ronnie !
Feel free to visit anytime.
Ernie! It’s been great yakking with you, brah! Spreadin’ the love!!

Drum till you drop!
I’m still at it at 78 and unless the pandemic gets me I’ll drum till I drop.
Stay Safe!
Best,
Ernie
What a legend Ernie Durawa is. Such a humble guy considering the phenomenal career he has and the extraordinary list of greats he has recorded or performed alongside. Versatility groove and chops…it’s a Durawa thing. Can’t wait for his forthcoming book.

I met you at the Broken Spoke when I was there in the Fall of 2018. I chatted with you and you gave me a card. It was great meeting you. Well, I was doing a little housecleaning last week and I found that card. Just thought I would reach out to you to say hello. Crazy times now and don’t know when I will be back in Austin, but I will be in Nashville next month. I don’t know if you play there. I hope all is well.
Hi Bill
It’s been a while since I have played in Nashville.
I’m still in Austin and all my shows have been cancelled for now bc of the Covid surge.

Thank You Fred Spence!
Learned more in 5 months of lessons than all the 40 years I’ve been trying to figure it out. More LEFT hand then ever!!! The best!!! Thanks Ernie!!!
Brad
You really are on your way with that left hand. We both saw that today!
Sure makes playing more fun when you can use two hands instead of just one.
Hey Ernie,
So glad to know you … and happy that we stayed in touch all this time. Interesting that we met by chance during a layover at the Houston airport. Must have been about 20 years ago. Hope to see you in person again some day!
Wow Jimmy!
I remember meeting you at the airport that day.
Thx for keeping in touch.
You still in Alabama?

Still remember the concert you gave in Constance about 30 years ago with Flaco Jimenez. Tonight I found the concert music from the show at Santa Monica in 1989 at the KPPC with Ry Cooder and Flaco Jimenez and I heard it twice. It’s perfect. Did you also play the drums at that occasion?
I hope, you are doing well. Best greetings from Constance, Germany. Mathias
Thx Mathias,
Good to hear from you.
I wasn’t on the show with Ry Cooder
Just did about 35 years with the Texas Tornados with Flaco and Freddy Fender Doug Sahm and Augie Meyers. Thanks for signing my guest book.
Hope all is well in Germany.
Best Wishes
Ernie Durawa
