Corbett was a dynamic and talented musician with unmatched passion for his craft. He spent much of his busy life traveling to gigs and playing with the best musicians out there. He proudly obtained endorsements from LosCabos Drumsticks and Saluda Cymbols. He entertained thousands at countless venues and his beloved church. While drums were his passion, his true gift was imparting wisdom and knowledge to other musicians, new and seasoned.
