Thank you!!!!

Thank you!

Thank you!!!! Just don't watch too closely...my covers have lots of clams (mistakes). :-)

Wow, Bobby. Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I am overwhelmed by your kindness and support.

Thank you!!!

Thank you, Kevin!!!

Thank you for your kind support. I am self-taught and play by ear so I never learned to read music. My method of learning songs is to just listen to them and copy what I hear. I developed my own method of writing down a chart to help understand the song structure (intro - verse - chorus - bridge - solo - chorus -ending). I've been playing for so long I've gotten good at just memorizing drum parts. My advice is don't do what I did (teach yourself). Find a good teacher. He/she will save you years of struggle and stop bad habits from taking root. Good luck with your drumming. I hope you have even half as much fun as I do. Drumming is one of the greatest things in my life!

Gracias!

I just play along with the original recordings. Thank you!

I've had a double bass pedal for many, many years but I rarely use it.

it was a tasteful use. A lot of the time I think that too much double bass muddies up the rhythm

Thank you. I tend to rush my grooves using just a single pedal. The double pedal just makes it even worse, which is why I rarely use it.
