Drummer for 42 years............ Nothing better then getting some frosties, bag o weed and a place to work on new stuff.. I was lucky that my parents said you smoke your pot and play here in basement.. I don't want the cops dragging your ass home... they put up with 3-5 nights a week from 18 - 32..
I had a real BIG coke problem in the middle 80's.(pin), and the music is what made me stop.. I owe my life to drumming... it was the only thing in the world that had more power over me, but I did sell my 13 piece Tama Imperial star kit with 15 paiste cymbals. ($6,000), for $500. Oh well....

Its hard to find a bassman that like to follow the rolls/progressions...just like finding a good walking bass player..like the slap stuff..etc is great but like a pedal freak..too much sucks... We had a guitar guy for a while that thought a lead through Hey Jude was good..one of those always feeding back players... I'd throw sticks at him....

Too much anything sucks.... One of the best guitarists that I ever played with hardly seemed to play... he'd fill in spots that just sounded soooo right, then he'd lean on his guitar and watch other guys and add something... Had a nice Les Paul 57 gold top... damn thing weighs about 30LBS...
Over.. I did only sell my shit..which was hard..we'd practice at my place so I had a 1500W PA...100W beige series Fender Concert amp...Mesa Boogie... Crown power amps... and an Ampeg bass amp...wasn't mine, thank god ....

They do make excellent hardware.. I've not had to tighten anything in months.. even the damn high hat..most drummers are always fucking with that.. Although the Tama kit had these massive concert toms above the floor tom.. they were 22- 24" ..the boom that held them at a 45 degree angle weighed about 25LB.

Why didn't you just say "go away"? Sometimes I swing the door open so they can see me seeing them, then I slam it shut in their face. Rude, yes, but I've told them and told them to go away and they just don't get it. They come by about once every 6 weeks.
