    I'm a little late to this party, but I've had that problem for a long time. I'm not recognized until I click through to one of the comment threads. A source of puzzlement, but no big deal.

    Re: playing with tracks

    I'll have to check out Drumtrax too, sounds interesting.

    Speaking of drumless tracks, what other sources are people's favorites? I tend to lean most heavily on the Turn It Up & Lay It Down...

    Re: Facebook swap shops are the worst

    Yeah, there's a lot of folks who don't look or read, or want to give you 25 cents on the dollar. The other side of the coin are the occasional CL ads that have no pics, no description, and say "Drum...

    Had some like that. I believe they were called "rock knockers" or some such thing.
  16. Re: If you could only have ONE cymbal which one?

    Thumbs up for the Sand Ride. Just picked one up used with no flaws, only a heavy patina. Great bell, very nice stick, crashable, and I can build a big wash if I want. It instantly went to the top of...

    What's your story? How did you make the jump from playing for fun to playing for fun AND money? Did your neighbor own a bar and ask you to play? Were you "discovered" by a producer who drove by while...
