A band played that night and the drummer had an ORANGE sparkle drum kit. I just remember hanging on the rail behind him and watching the drummer all night instead of skating. How about yall?

This guy that lived upstairs by the name of Donny Marginson was a drummer. He came down one day and just blew off this solo on the snare.From that point on I was hooked.Sadly Donny passed away this past nov. Due to a car accident. So, thank you Donny for inspiring me to become the drummer I am today. You will be missed brother. -------------------- Always looking for the rhythm in everything I do..

Saw it in our local flea pit around 30 times when I was a kid. From then on music and travel was the only way to go! Started as a bass player but jumped on a kit when I joined my first band who already had a bassist.

They wanted me to play a "quieter" instrument which I could "lead" with such as piano. When I turned 16 I paid for my first drumset with money I made selling ice cream.

I learned as many Yes songs as possible as well as Zep, Deep Purple, Kansas and many others at a young age. I eventually got into jazz, fusion, and Latin percussion, but my first love is the classic "art" rock of that era. I haven't put my sticks down since... -------------------- Jeff Drums - what else...??? JC loves U-n-me Post Extras:       Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | >> (show all)
