My Interests

OCHELTIPS: (Steve Smith's Idea)1. Don't leave your drums out in the rain. 2. Use only sticks made of wood. 3. Always say yes to your mate... but I don't. 4. Think Old School! 5. For the best attack approach always use a heavy metal snare drum aka Attack Drumheads. 6. Always be Shure of what microphone to use.

I'd like to meet:

Drummers, Percussionists, Musicians interested in evolving their craft/art form. Drummers who need tech & consultation sevices,help re-finishing and reviving their kits, and who want to exchange information and expand the network !!! I also do clinics/workshops/seminars..have "old school knowledge" for the modern world and will travel to your location to share this knowledge. Let's raP...
