Well said Bongobro
I think I've re-run this more than "I Love Lucy," but it's still true: DrumChat is my favorite chat forum because, to me, the members here are not just guys and gals, but brothers and sisters. Whether I'm commenting to a teen-ager who wants to know which drum kit to buy, encouraging the long-time drumkit player who's scared stiff about playing hand drums for the first time, or sharing our milestones--the good and the bad--I feel as if I know each of you as if you were a next-door neighbors.
I feel if we ever have that meet-and-greet, we'd sit down at our drum kits and hand drums and jam together like longtime buddies--even though very few of us have ever met formally! I'm willing to bet the only disputes we have something like "bongobro's been up there too long--give ShaneRoney or 1drumbum a turn now, man!"
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!

I recently checked one of the drum forums and it made me appreciate the civility we have in our forum.
Cool, well said
