Hey, I just wanted to give a shout to my friend Bryon Holley who just signed up as Btrainmusic! He's a kick butt drummer in LA who I've had the pleasure of reconnecting with recently. I'll let him tell you what he's up to. Welcome Bryon!  |

Named Sam. Live in Winston Salem N Carolina. started playing drums in my freshman year of high school and that was like way back in 01. havent been playing much really lately, no band, not much of a music scene in winston salem. and I prefer to not play any rock or metal. but despite lack of any serious playing lately, I still enjoy to get out and hit the skins everynow and then. got a couple of kits. A DW collectors six pieces for graduation, a RMV kit that I bought with bar mitzvah money, and an old premier three piece shell pack I traded a double pedal for. k customs for cymbals.

Welcome to the DC group fellow drummers.  I've been to Reidsville, N.Carolina a few times. Went there for motocross qualifiers for National Championship racing. Loved it there....  |

Now you are making me feel old. I was a high school freshman way back in 1963! Welcome to the Drummer Cafe. You will love it here. |

Hi. I've been observing on the forum for a while. I'm from Indiana and started playing again about 3 years ago. I played mostly rock in the basement and garage, but this time I was drawn into classical and concert band material and discovered a love for military marches. I play in a concert band and recently had my first drumset gig  with a dixieland-type band. I'm a huge fan of old and new garage rock, rockabilly, and am slowly getting drawn into the mysterious world of jazz. I have a Tama fusion kit, and if I'm very, very good I might be able to take home a Gretsch jazz kit before the year ends. Cymbals are 14" old New Beats hi hats, a Sabian Vault crash and a Sabian medium heavy ride. I recently added a 7 X 13 Gretsch snare to the two snares I already have. It's good to talk drums and music, isn't it? Jenny |

Thank you to Keith Cronin for recommending me to this forum. You may have seen me as "ivmike" on other forums (which I will in all likelyhood, abandon for this one). Today Drummer Café; tomorrow night, I play in the Montréal Jazz Festival! |
