I'm not seeing much activity on this forum. It seems days can go by with no new posts or comments.

Seriously, it gets like this every once and awhile. What will happen then is 15-20 drummers will rediscover how to write (or print in some cases) and all will write "War and Drums" in various comment sections.
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times".
This is what I have started to write. It's the story of my 2 marriages.
BTW, I'm from Bayonne.

I try to post something new at least once a week. Peace and goodwill.

Here's one. I try to get back at least once a year. Sheesh. Been a while.

I hear you. One marriage for me and one divorce. I won't be making that mistake again. And a fellow Jerseyite. Cool.
When I posted this I was comparing the activity of this forum with another drum forum, which prompted my comment. I know some forums don't like other forums mentioned, so I won't. It's now time to light up a bowl and begin my nightly wind down.

What he said. My apologies to some of the regulars. I was navigating some personal stuff and on hiatus. Glad to be back!
Missed you guys!
I was wondering if there are any Drummerworld Forum members here. I ask because I just tried to log into their forum and received the following error:
Oops! We ran into some problems
An error occurred while the page was being generated. Please try again later.
It shows me as logged in but all I can see is this message and cannot navigate the site. Is the site down? If not, I wonder if I've been banned. But I received no emails saying I am banned. So, anyone know if the site is up and running as usual?
Thanks.

Yeah, I've come across them before but couldn't tell you who. There's a lot of guys that make the rounds. I know Drum Bum is talking about revamping this forum now that Drumming.com is completed.
I was able to log in. Must have been a temporary issue. My own paranoia has me concerned that I'm banned. Does that in and of itself indicate guilt? Probably.

Welcome back Vibes! Not as many people posting anymore. The forum still gets gobs of traffic but not as much engagement, which is very common with older traditional forums. But I'd like to see some of our old members post more.
What kind of studio projects? Are you playing professionally? On the road too?
Been a long time. How are you guys?

Spent a good amount of my teenage years as a part of this forum. Have not played drums in a while... moving away from home and then school, work etc. Thinking of taking lessons to get a bit of the rust off. I've had a hoot reading my old posts. Hope everyone's having a grand old time

I'm good man. Kids growing up fast. The wife left me for another woman.![]()
But seriously, I'm still practicing, growing, learning... The forum is slower these days. Not many people posting as much but it still gets an insane amount of traffic coming through. Not sure if you heard but Drum Bum built a hub over at Drumming.com so I'm helping with the marketing side of that as well. There are talks of revamping this forum. I'd love to see some of the old regulars start posting again.
My youngest graduated HS this year...it's crazy how fast that happens. I'm still playing but not nearly as much as I was back then. That's pretty cool that you are helping with the marketing side of things, and I agree it would be cool to get some of the old regulars back!
