After more than twenty five years as a drummer, and over ten years as an IT Manager and web site designer, building my own site about drums and drumming was irresistable.  I want to to share as much as I can of my playing experience, as well as hear the experiences of everyone else that I can. 

There was no WWW or MTV when I was a young drummer.  I hung out at music stores, and watched bands and other drummers whenever I could.  I met a few guys in school, and met others through ads on bulletin boards.  (Yea, real paper and pins, not computer bulletin boards!)  Okay, I'm older than I should be willing to admit.  If anything, maybe that gives me a better appreciation for how well the web brings us all together.   I may have long outgrown the dream of becoming a superstar on stage, but I will always be a drummer.  I will always love to play! 

Comment on my post; Does RockBand help teach drumming? Post a question for other drummers to answer.  Answer a post if you see one that sparks you.  If you have a topic that you'ld rather not let the world know, please email me privately at rob at drummersweekly.com.  Sign up for the newsletter to stay in touch, and up to date with new techniques, equipment drumming personalities.
