Hi everyone, glad I found the place. Just getting back into Drumming after many years of not touching a pair of sticks. Like many here, I started in the 60's in Jr. High. My Dad bought me a used set of Kent drums, I know they were the blue badge Black Diamond Pearl 5 piece kit, with some old crusty Zildgians. Like an ass I sold them long ago. Anyhow in my teens I got involved in Drum Corps and got to meet some incredible players. Rumor was Steve Gadd had played with our corps before I joined. One day our director hired a "big name jazz drummer" to come in for the day and help the drum line. He hung out with my Dad and me all day, real nice guy. Its only now I can appreciate who Joe Morello is.
I've always loved drums and now I find myself checking ebay or craigslist for a nice little WMP Rogers or Grestch 4 pcs. kit. I don't own any drums now, I'm sure that will change soon. Its great to be here, and benefit from so much knowledge and experience. Thanks for having me, Rob G.
