Music Background (years, instruments, etc.): Bugged my mom for a kit after seeing the "Words" video by Mission Persons on MTV. She finally relented. Had a Nazi of a teacher when I was 14 who made me hate drums, so I gave up for a while. Bought another kit when I was 17 and haven't stopped since. I play a bit of guitar and even less keyboards (self taught). I also do recording engineering, and sound design/editing for video. Favorite... Drum Brand: Still looking.

Visit my sister in Virginia and then come back to NYC for more revelry. And lastly, this post is ridiculously... time-consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sidereal Posted November 22, 2006 Members Share Posted November 22, 2006 Originally posted by ArtVandelay So was you first kit loaded with Rototoms? No, actually. It was a red sparkle snare drum and kick drum (with a hole in it) and a cheap cymbal with a stand that came out of the kick drum. I think my kick only had one spur too. My mom's kinda cheap.

Members Watchdog Posted November 23, 2006 Members Share Posted November 23, 2006 Originally posted by Drumming4Him drumming for little more than a couple years. As my name says, I currently drum for my church. I attend a church that has a pretty decent band, they play the same songs almost every week and I am always taping along. They other night...no drummer so they asked if anyone could play and my wife shot her hand up and volunteered me. I already knew the songs and I spiced them up a little and got a few winks from the band. Then...my first applause from a real crowd! Felt awesome. Like I said before, I just moved here from Cali and just started going to this church a few months ago. 25 years of playing, I guess that was my first live show.

Members Drumming4Him Posted November 23, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2006 Nice. 25 years and that was your first live show?

It hasn't been until the last few years I started playing with other musicians and started having fun with that. Now I am in a few bands and basically play almost every day with a different group, hopefully one will take off and I can play that elusive live show.
