I used to play paintball ....a lot, a very lot of a lot, I mean a very lot of a lot until I was a paintball Ref. Then and from that point on I was shot a lot, I mean a lot of shot of a lot. ...LOL.
....everyone in my friends section.
I want to meet other drummers and see what they are coming up with as far as originality and/or style.
...and I want to meet people who WILL give me SOMETHING for NOTHING. :P
I've done it enough times and I will continue to do it, or so my history suggests.
