Topic: Drummer Cafe 10 Year Anniversary

[Tony]

Congratulations Bart, 10 years is quite an accomplishment in any aspect of life, let alone the fickle Internet! Thanks for all te hard work, educational resources and years of information. Thanks for allowing such a collection of diverse folks a place to exchange information and ideas without being bullied for having a unpopular opinion. Here's to 10 more years.

Sorry I missed this post.  Seems I'm a little late to the party.

Congratulations, Bart, for 10 years of the best all-around drumming resource on the web.  The Cafe is well run, the members are friendly & helpful, and the information shared is invaluable.  There is something here for every drummer - regardless of age; regardless of what kind of drumming you do. 

Your hard work and dedication to making the Cafe the best is much appreciated.

I'm thrilled we've become friends over the years and have had opportunities to hang together.  And thanks much for the DC interview - much appreciated!  That was a fun day.

Dave

Thank you all for the kind words.

Even more exciting news is that January 1st marked the 15-Year-Anniversary for the entire Drummer Cafe site ... formerly known as The Drum Ring International (1997-2001), which was renamed Drummer Cafe when I purchased the domain name in 2001.

Congrats Bart.  Your contributions to the drumming community are immeasureable.  This really is the "one-stop shop" for all things related to drumming.  Besides the diverse and well-behaved forum contributors, I remain amazed with the quality and value of the resources and PRess Roll Newsletter.  Here's to the next 10 years being even better.

Well, please allow me to offer my belated congratulations on 10 years of DC!

I can’t even begin to express how much I’ve learned from the outstanding resource that is the Drummer Café.   

Bart, I know you put a ton of time and hard work into this incredible environment (“site” seems to be an inadequate description), and it is much appreciated. 

Try to imagine if the Drummer Café  didn’t exist.  Yes, it would be awful!

Thanks for everything, Bart!
