Eddie Tuduri Turns Tragedy into Triumph
People know Eddie Tuduri as the drummer for The Beach Boys, but they may not be aware that he was in an accident that left him paralyzed. Fifteen years ago, Eddie was in a surfing accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. According to an interview with NBC affiliate WMC, Eddie thought he would never be able to drum again. But, by starting with small percussion instruments, he eventually regained his abilities. It was during that time that The Rhythmic Arts Project began, too. The goal of the Project is to teach life skills to people with intellectual and developmental differences. Read more here: Beach Boys drummer teaches 'life skills' in Memphis class
