was forced to read drum music at an early age and play a stupid ass rubber pad so i wouldnt annoy anyone. this is grade school and in the grade school band. then we started a band.........and we were damn good! could actually play 3 beatles songs. we had creative differences, the lead gitar player met an oriental gal and the band then went to hell.........
gave up drums sold ludwig set as a freshman when i learned about gasoline and perfume.........i was good......very good. once again it all went to hell.
fast forward to my 42nd year of life. one day while repairing drywall and listening to stereo an ephiphany happened! i stopped drywalling and went to bizarreguitar store and dropped big bucks on mapex 2nd from top of the line kit. then dumped more big bucks on 7 zildjiaan cymbo's and wood and alum sticks 5A and 5B's and the rest is history..................its all gone to hell again!
can clear my house out of people in about 3 seconds flat now with the noise!
i can move objects on shelves upstairs and downstairs!
i can actually play quite a few songs now.
i dont care what anyone thinks.
i cant hear NOTHING while stereo cranked and while i have headphones on.............for hours!
i have actually lit quite a few fires using my broken sticks as kindling.
i have wasted many a pair of alum. sticks.
i have decimated a few drum heads all but my floor tom tom. went right thru my floor kick one night..........that was a trip!
i can actually keep a beat........well somedays if im in the mood.
my right hand right brain, have creative differences with my left brain left hand.
the cops have never been called to my house. it pays to have a large chunk of property w/out a lot of folk around.
beer flows like a RAGING RIVER some nights! and usually thats when im most creative and sound the best!
bottomline its fun.............and its therapy!
next kit will be yamaha studio kit. love the sound.
