    Default Thank you.....

    I just felt led to post this thread. I am somewhat of an emotional guy(at times)or should I say I am not afraid of stating my feelings about something or someone, and with that I would just like to say.

    THANK YOU

    Thank you to all of you on this forum(I could name a few stand-outs, but I won't), because of all of you, I am a better drummer, and better friend, and a better husband and father. This forum is not all about drums(believe it or not), There is so much more going on, on this forum, there is so much that can be learned, besides drums, you just have to be willing to listen, it's truly priceless.

    Again I have to say I have never in my 35 yrs of life, met such a wonderful group of people, this forum/FAMILY is truly something special, in more ways than one.

    I will shut up now

    Dude, you hit the nail on the head there. This place is so much more than drums..... Oh, and guess what? Drum Chat is what it is because of the people, and you are a part of the people who make it, just like me, and all the others. I've learned alot from your videos, and I made my own. Someone watched my video and learned from it and made their own, and so on and so on.....

    I forget where I heard it, but there is a concept that says a good teacher learns just as much from the student as the student does from the teacher. It's the whole give/take or the yin/yang thing.

    In other words, you are just as responsible for drum chat being so cool as everyone else.

    Drum Chat - FTW!

    Yea, it touched me too. Kevin, life is about growing and changing. Some stay in one place either due to their ego or just a lack of motivation. You seem to be humble and willing to really try and do your best and shoot for the stars. I think this state of mind creates winners in life.

    Keep on keepin' on. (as they used to say in the 70's)

    Drummer my biggest thank you goes to YOU, because we had an issue back in the day, and YOU gave me a second chance, and I honestly can not tell you how much that means to me. This forum is a family, and when that was taken from me, it hurt, and the fact that you gave me a second chance, really is a testament to just how cool this forum really is, and the members associated with it, so once again, thank you so much.

    No...because my Browns will suck bad this year. Being a Notre Dame guy I am very excited to have my man Brady Quinn FINALLY getting the starting QB slot...but who will he throw to????? Stallworth is in jail, and they traded Edwards and Winslow.

    ...great...
