    Hi Tom
    I think you meant “ cant’” ?
  4. Strange drummer question . Are most drummer good at painting?

    This is a strange question but are most drummers good at painting/ drawing? I notice many famous musicians met in art school.
    Maybe it pertains more to singers and guitarists.

  12. Re: They claim John Bonham never practiced. I doubt it
