Favourite Forum Member(s)

[gusty]

hey, i just started this thread out of interest, wondering who is the most favourite or respected forum member. personally, i think MFB is my favourite, always good advice and a balanced view on threads, also a very nice person. what are your thoughts? and by the way, please dont turn this into a most hated forum member thread, that would ruin it.

[Mediocrefunkybeat]

Well I don't honestly know what to say. Thanks Gusty. I'm humbled for sure, and I'm capable of being a total git when the time comes. Have a very nasty feeling this thread is going to get very deleted very soon though.

[Jay.B.]

OOhh this should be fun haha

I Haven't really got any favourite chums on here, if I did they would know who they are.

There are a lot of knowledgable and fair people in here who's opinions I respect as much as the next

[Jay.B.]

And of course, anybody who owns a BLX gets to jump to the top of the class haha

[T.Underhill]

The pros that frequent here and of course...me. Thank you, thank you.

[Drumsword]

That is a tough one. I have to agree though, I have always had good interaction with MFB as well, and I respect him. Nutha Jason has always been helpful, as well as Dogbreath (Gotta kiss up ya know)..;) Wegadrummer, so many people. The one I have had the most interaction with I believe though is "Jason Dorn".

I remember first joing up with all these guys on drummerworld eons ago before I went offline for a year. I respect most everyone here on this site, But these are the ones I have interacted with the most and know.

[glynes]

Bernhard.

[MSUMetal]

I'd have to agree on liking quite a few, there's enough of them that I wouldn't want to list in fear of forgetting someone. MFB, Stu (who still posts here and there I see), the admins, Bernhard are all good examples though. Womble, Gruntersdad, Finhiggins (especially when he and Stu argue)...etc. just too many.

[mikei]

Hands down it is Stu!

Great personality! Usually good advice and straight to the point.

I believe DW is better when he is actively participating.

[Drumsword]

How could I forget Bernhard????? "Smacks own head with size 2B sticks repeatedly"
Of course I love bernhard, he's the one I send all my stuff to becasue I can never get it posted. Love ya B.

[Deathmetalconga]

What is this, high school again?

Anyway, I like lowtech. He's cantankerous, but fair and informative and fun to read. I like brokenhalo because he's an all-around nice person but he doesn't post here as much. Fourstringdrums also seems nice. Nutha does a good job of fairly and diplomatically administering this place and I respect that ability.

[rendezvous_drummer]

CLASS A DRUMMER!!

Nah i'm only kidding hehe. Anyone who is a fan of Yamaha is my favorite.

[Stormi]

Does the winner get a pretty diamond tiara to wear with "most popular DW member" engraved on it?

We should have a DW member contest - categories like Most Helpful Member, Hottest Male Member (err, wait...like, as in a member who is male), Hottest Female Member, Most Improved Noob etc. Could be fun. People could nominate for each category and then the top 5 nominated would be the people we have to vote on.

Back on topic - It would be hard to pick a favourite. I'd have to say MFB, coz after an incident with a poster on here when I was fairly new, MFB told me he respected me (but, will he respect me in the morning? lol), and I'd also have to say Glynes, because she's such an inspiration to me.

[mind_drummer]

I like very much jazzgregg, his knowledge in jazz is absolutely astonishing, every discussion I had with him, I fell like I was someone because he has very good respect in people and I feel everytime that I have learned something.

Then I always like seeing "our" Stu post, he has always something devilish to say and make you want to reply back...

Finally, I like radiofriendlyunitshifter because he's my Aquarian preacher backup ah ! ah ! ah !

[Drumsword]

Just curious , what is a "noob"?

[rendezvous_drummer]

[rendezvous_drummer]

Thanks............... are ya laughing that hard at me for not knowing?
haha no man, i'm making fun of people who use that kind of stuff. I used to not know either.

[franklinj]

I like Stu a lot. He was the one that ended my ridiculous buyers remorse after I bought my Yammies. Hes also helped me out with a ridiculous amount of other things, ranging from technique to even the beat in "Run to the Hills."

Of course, theres MFB, Finns, and Mattsmith. Oh, and I almost forgot FourstringDrums. Theyre all pretty cool guys. I wouldnt mind meeting up with some of them...

Edit: Rendezvous, Glynes, and the admin/mods, too!

[Drumsword]

LOL, just checking. I just said it out loud and it made perfect sense...the spelling got me, Noob, Newb.......Now I feel like a boob. or bewb. LOL ;)

Hey I'll vote for you if you vote for me in stormi's contest.

[rendezvous_drummer]

I guess I should put my favorites:
Stu, Finn, MFB,Mods, Bernhard, Duke, Pdp 9091, FranklinJ, Yamaha drummer, Drummer Karl, brittc98, glynes, topcat, Jazzgregg, Jazzsnob and all the jazz's, and like I said, anyone else who likes Yamaha

[pdp 9091]

I guess I should put my favorites:
Stu, Finn, MFB,Mods, Bernhard, Pdp 9091, FranklinJ, Yamaha drummer, Drummer Karl, brittc98, glynes, topcat, and like I said, anyone else who likes Yamaha

-MFB
-DB
-drummer karl
-rendezvous_drummer
-stu
-topcat
-finn
-nutha

[aahznightsky]

Alright my votes go towards you know .... MFB, Stu, Finn, Fourstrings. I haven't been around this forum too much since school started because that took away my extra time. I'll be around though!

[Stormi]

haha no man, i'm making fun of people who use that kind of stuff. I used to not know either.

Sorry, was trying to fit in with all the hip, cool young people LOLZ!

[CraigG]

1. Bernhard - for providing this space
then no particular order...
- Nutha - his pic still freaks me out
- DB - cause he is DB
- finhiggins - overall knowledge
- stu - overall knowledge
- rendezvous_drummer - honesty
- MFB - honesty, humble
- drummer_karl - enthusiasm
- glynes - guts, humble
- Joe Morris - pro, helpful
- rudimentaldrummer - enthusiasm
- billy ward - pro, helpful
- wedga - lots of things

I'm sure I missed some, but there you have it

[rendezvous_drummer]

Sorry, was trying to fit in with all the hip, cool young people LOLZ!
Nah noob is alright in my books, but when people do that roflhelicopter thing, just pisses me off. No problem Pdp 9091, Yahoo Pool haha!!

[DogBreath]

Anyone who knows how to use the Search button.


I kid, I kid!

Bernhard, for this amazing place. Nutha, for his consistently helpful, inspirational, and thought-provoking posts. The pros who take time out from their crazy schedules to help us with our problems and answer questions about themselves. And all of you great guys and gals who keep a positive attitude and keep the spirit of this community alive. You rock!

[T.Underhill]

Thanks............... are ya laughing that hard at me for not knowing?

Yep. And welcome to the wonderful world of teh internets.

[djp132]

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me
Guess I'll go eat worms
(old childrens song)

Everyone who has been supportive of my humble efforts. I hope I do well.

[NUTHA JASON]

derek. who so generously donates his great instructional material.

but i kid. favouritism is bad here. i like anyone until they let us down and even then they get a few chances. sometimes its also from whence it comes. i got to say that i have lots of respect for the guys who stick around and post regularly for long periods of time while not getting caught up in negative emmotion...folks like wega, aahz rendez, cdawg, franklin and the duke too mention a very short list.

and i got to put a word in for my collegues. as MFB once said... i'll kill them last. jokes. huge respect for DB and Bernhard.

j

[gusty]

sorry nutha, i dont want this to be a 'favourite' thing. thats like being picked for footy teams at lunch, great being the first few but totally sucks being the last ones. i want this to be a more 'respected' thread.

also id like to add karl, hes an awsome drummer and forum contributer; nutha, DB, and ofcource Bernard for putting this forum up and keeping it together, without u guys we wouldnt have anywhere to discuss our passion(or i wouldnt); finnhiggens, i think your a great advicor, and always willing to post; anyone else who i forgot, mostly those good contributors. also stu, who i think has a 'tough but fair' kinda addittude. which is not a bad thing.

[finnhiggins]

I like Class A Drummer, Math_Metal_182 and Dib Da Drummer...

[Jay.B.]

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me
Guess I'll go eat worms
(old childrens song)

Hahaha I remember that one, when I was little my mum always used to sing that when I threw a paddy / had a strop / got a bag on LOL nice one Derrek, you just made my day :-)

[gusty]

also jayb i love ur sig man, its so cool

[Jay.B.]

cheers dude, it seems to be a very fitting little line for me and my style.

Anyway heading back on topic... ... ... ... ...

Edit: huge chunk of irrelavent text removed

[gusty]

yeah, also your avatars really good

[Paradiddle my snizzle]

Well, we all know who is going to win the "Youngest looking female for her age-member"!!! Can you be voted "Hottest male member" without having a picture uploaded? You know it's the inside that counts, and i'm very hot on the inside!! i guess i had to much chili (okay these jokes are getting stupid so i'll stop now)

Back on track - i'm only going to vote once, so there's no leaving someone out... And it has to be Derrick.

[finnhiggins]

Well, we all know who is going to win the "Youngest looking female for her age-member"!!!

Look, I keep telling you people, I'm really twenty-five!

[Jay.B.]

*pulls head from up arse*

I'll amend that last comment

[Jeff Almeyda]

I like and respect all of my fellow "senior consultants" as well as Jazzgregg (LISTEN to him, kiddies!!!), Derrick, Aahz, Matt Smith, MFB, lowtech, Ufipman,Stick Trick (RIP Lutz!!!), four string drums, ozjazzer

You guys know who you are and why I listed you. If I missed any of you please forgive me..

I view B as a father figure. I respect the man tremendously. The amount of $ and effort that goes into this site is pretty impressive.

I also like Tim Waterson. Great guy.

I like Chip and DrummerKarl as well. Young players who are on their way.

[GRUNTERSDAD]

I'd have to agree on liking quite a few, there's enough of them that I wouldn't want to list in fear of forgetting someone. MFB, Stu (who still posts here and there I see), the admins, Bernhard are all good examples though. Womble, Gruntersdad, Finhiggins (especially when he and Stu argue)...etc. just too many.

Thanks Michigan for the mention. Im just trying to represent the senior citizen or "old school" lads. I try my best to burn thru the google and website questions and offer aid where i can. I will be on a limited amount, except for what I can sneak in at work now, since my trusty Dell crashed last nite. I will say however the blue glow makes a nice nite light.

[radiofriendlyunitshifter]

Finally, I like radiofriendlyunitshifter because he's my Aquarian preacher backup ah ! ah ! ah !

hahaha. maybe one day aquarian will start sending us free stuff for our cause.

for the most part, everyone on here is pretty helpful to everyone. for the most part.

there's obviously a wealth of knowledge that the "senior consultant"s possess, and i love

reading their posts, but i also like hearing from everyone else too... all in all everyone is

nice... in their own way. mfb seems to be a good guy, from personal experience.

[radiofriendlyunitshifter]

yeah, also your avatars really good

speaking of good avatar's, i love womble's haha.

[jollymosher]

stu- he makes alot of sence and he thinks about his posts
yamaha drummer- hes friendly and helps out alot.
drummer karl- who doesnt like a german jazz drummer honestly!
Jay.B.- he posts funny and meaningful posts everytime he posts.
Funky beat - he posts great info hes polite and smart.

[hateplow]

Drummer Karl - That kid is a riot, also very very positive.
Nutha Jason - taught me how to twirl sticks
LordMarco - Blast beats kick ass.

[Drummer Karl]

lol, interessting thread...hehe, I always got such a push of extra enthusiasm when I read my name....hahahaha...

I have nor real favorites, everybody here is "nice", even Class A can be a nice guy if he really wants lol
but I like Bernhard, DB, Nutha, Stu, Finn, MFB, franklinJ, aarbo (he is also German and he is very nice, check him out :-D), Rudimental Drummer, rendezvous_drummer, aahz, pdp 9091, britt, radiofriendly...(sorry, the name is difficult), TopCat, Fat Elvis, Wega!!, and never forget theduke86!! ...and Joe Morris and Billy Ward, also great guys!

I guess I`ve forgotten some other great guys!

EDIT: I`ve forgotten Hateplow!!...and Jollymosher! --- great guy!

Karl

[MSUMetal]

I think I have to add in Tim Waterson. I'm surprised at how few people have mentioned him. He's one of the few pro drummers that come on here, and he comes on here fairly consistently to give tips on drumming and to compliment others, and I havent seen a harsh word come out of him.

There are others I would like to add to my list, such as Drummer Karl and Aahz, but most people have the guys that I forgot to list (sorry) covered. Just thought that Tim Waterson needed a few more props.

[franklinj]

Karl, I think you named half of the forum! :>) Oh well, glad to be on the list.

Oh, and I might have forgotten you in my other post. If so, then youre added to the list.

[jonescrusher]

Karl, DB, Duke86, jazzgregg, Class A drummer, MFB, Mlehnertz, millerdakiller, Finn, Stu all in their different ways.

[Drummer Karl]

Karl, I think you named half of the forum! :>) Oh well, glad to be on the list.

[Drummer Karl]

Karl, DB, Duke86, jazzgregg, Class A drummer, MFB, Mlehnertz, millerdakiller, Finn, Stu all in their different ways.

wow, you mentioned me, why?

PS.: How could I forget YOU? thanks one more time for the jazz play-alongs, they really help me!!

:-)

Karl

[gusty]

also chip, very helpful and informative for only 15

[Garvin]

I think top cat is hilarious.... I like jazzgregg's brutal conviction, and finn's knowledge and diplomacy. There are others, but writing has given me a creepy, sort of gay feeling. Not that there's anything wrong with that.... It's just not for me....

[Jeroen aka aksie]

Aahznightsky !!!! because I often have the same point of view and he's a kicks ass drummer

I lost my messages so I don't know if I still "have" to respond to an old one aahz... sorry ;)

Im surprised no ones mentioned my avatar yet...

[nhzoso]

I See Glynes, Fooleze, and mlehnertz, and Guiness, I see Dogbreath, and Lowender, and Nutha

Ok show your age, what show is that from??

[Jay.B.]

Im surprised no ones mentioned my avatar yet...
Aww.. that would be because it's not a hypnotizing mind bending swirly thing that brainwashes anybody who stares at it for longer than 10 seconds at a time, that's why Nutha is under my control now, he had it as his desktop wallpaper, and TILED at that haha he's nut job LOL well now he is anyway ;-)

[Stormi]

I See Glynes, Fooleze, and mlehnertz, and Guiness, I see Dogbreath, and Lowender, and Nutha

Ok show your age, what show is that from??

I don't know if it was called the same name worldwide, but we used to have a show called Romper Room and Miss Helena used to look through her "magic mirror" at the end of the show to see who she could see sitting at home watching. I remember having a huge tantrum coz I hid from her and she still saw me!

Well, we all know who is going to win the "Youngest looking female for her age-member"!!! Are you referring to me? I've been waiting to get older so it works to my advantage, instead of when I was like 21 and people thought I was 12

[AvengedDrummer]

finnhiggins, cause hes an awesome drummer. I will never forget the porn music...
jazzgreg, cause he's an art freak like me...
Karl, for his overall nice attitude and amzing jazz skills.
Stu, cause he's the man...

And everybody else that wasnt mentioned by anybody else. Cause we all know that if it was just the above 4, we wouldnt have much of a forum.

[nhzoso]

BINGO!!! So I see your in your 20's too... LOL, Yes I remember sitting there and waiting for her to call my name, I would'nt go anywhere till she did..Thank god I have a common name...LOL

[Stormi]

BINGO!!! So I see your in your 20's too... LOL, Yes I remember sitting there and waiting for her to call my name, I would'nt go anywhere till she did..Thank god I have a common name...LOL

Yeah..yes, of course I'm in my 20's *waits for youngest looking female for her age award*

[Salicete]

I'm rather new here, but I my short time I have found that there are several members who consistently give good-well though out advice, positive reinforcement, support, and who are able to do it without any attitude.

Advice is useless if it comes off as arrogant of if the person asking the question is made to feel as if its a "newbie," or silly question, and some folks here are really good at avoiding that, even when the questions are very basic, or from drummers who may have just gotten their first kit that very day.

The best posters are the ones who have the ability to make everyone here feel welcome and comfortable enough to ask any question. I think everyone here pretty much knows who those guys and girls are, so I don't think I need to name names, but I do really appreciate the positive influences around here.

[DogBreath]

Salicete - honest and diplomatic. Good post.

[GRUNTERSDAD]

I See Glynes, Fooleze, and mlehnertz, and Guiness, I see Dogbreath, and Lowender, and Nutha

Ok show your age, what show is that from??

If Im not mistaken that show was the masters thesis of a female teacher from Hood College in Baltimore, where the original lady was MIss Nancy. Her thesis was liked so much by the local TV folks that they turned it into a show. Same with Bill Cosbys, Cosbys kids which I think was his Doctoral presentation for his PHd in education.

Yeah thats pretty much what made me post in the first place. I have been playing for a good few years and browsed the site and forums for 6 months before joining in on the forum. And I knew that I could ask any question and not feel like an idiot!

I dont really post much in the way of helping people although if a topic comes up and I feel I can add to it I do. I am still soaking up info that I should have been learning from the start of my drumming days!

So...you are all my favourite members.

" Romper Bomper Stomper Boo"

Okay, staying slightly off-topic - Did the US version of Romper Room have Mr Dooby, the bee? They used to play a game with balloons that went "Mr Dooby, how do you do, we're going to play a game with you,we'll let you buzz, we'll let you fly...*something something* sailing by"? and they'd let the balloons go (untied) and they'd go flying around the room.

[gusty]

going completely off topic, stormi if ur wondering who that random is that added u on myspace, its me, and i also added MFB...anyways.

YUP, good ol Mr. Doobie... Man that made for a few jokes when I was in my teens and discovering Mary Jane.,

[foursticks]

If I had to pick one it would be jazzsnob, I really like his posts and hes dead informative and helpful. Of course there's all the usual ones; nutha, dogbreath, topcat, duke86, finn, karl, jazzgregg, ect.

[DrumProgressive]

This thread is somewhat interesting, in terms of something i yet have to figure out.

I'm urged to say that this thread somewhat isn't a good thing for this forum but as i read all the reply's, it's really helping to build the atmosphere. I yet noticed that someone wasn't mentionned up till now who was the first one that came into my mind when i read the thread title. And that person is Raymond_Bloom. For some reason i really like seeing posts of him in a forum. As for other people, i think everyone that doesn't makes a mess of this forum is 'my favourite member' (i know i'm guilty myself of posting pointless stuff -> There for i decided to just read most of the time rather than interact for now on) And for other respected members in my opinion goes: The more time you spend in technique section, the more i appreciate you =)

[Chip]

I don't have a favourite, but Jeff Almeyda and Finn have helped me a lot. Very helpful. Fooleeze, Karl, MFB, britt, Bermuda, Bernhard, StickTrick & jazzgregg are also really great contributors, and very helpful. This is just a short list, though.

[gusty]

wow, thats a great response guys. 3 pages already, didnt think it'd grow like that. i think ur right, it does build a good atmosphe here, and thank those who are great contributors to this forum, those guys who put there time and effort and $$$ into this site.

[Drum-Head]

Hi!


If you don't mind a new guy participating here, I'd just say that in my book greats are any person who contributes to making this place what it is whether he's a newbie or an experienced member. I haven't been here long, but I'm happy to be aournd here and to learn and share.

Keep it up guys, this is a great place.


Regards,
Christopher.

I am English, but I don't get it either lol.

hehe bloody poms and their english humor lol. talking about pommy humour have u guys seen a tv show called extras? just ended on abc (in australia) and wow its so funny, i think english comedy is best

[Wile E. Coyote]

Back to topic... There are so many people that I don't know who are for sure amazing drummers and posters! And sometimes it's just the opposite :( . So let's not mix frequent-poster and good-advisor.
I had the most interesting feedbacks with finn, stu, nutha and... of course... duke86.
I love to find in the same thread: MFB (even though you don't deserve being in my list just for being English LOL)

[MECHT4NK]

bernhard

period (20)

[LimaBeans]

I like T.Underhill and DogBreath for their overall bluntness and sarcastic sense of humor.

...and of course Bernhard for making the best drumming site on the interweb.

[rendezvous_drummer]

Capital D is another member i like, especially after reading his posts in the Roger Waters forum. Good job.

[gr82bagn]

My favorite forum member hands down is Stu, when it comes to drums the man has some great posts, next would be NJ, again just outstanding informative posts. DW is a great place to be when these folks are posting.

[DogBreath]

I like T.Underhill and DogBreath for their overall bluntness and sarcastic sense of humor.
*sigh*

And to think I actually used to be known for my helpful posts, back before I started a business that keeps me busy 24/7. Now I only have time to Moderate, and not enough time to engage in long conversations or do research to give a meaningful answer to someone's question. Oh well. When I do my next report from NAMM hopefully I'll redeem myself for a week or two.

[Wile E. Coyote]

When I do my next report from NAMM hopefully I'll redeem myself for a week or two.
Don't worry DB, you'll get a new chance... I still have some faith in you... LOL
But it's true!! You are more often moderating than posting drum stuff! I really wonder what you have to tell...
OK! One vote for DB!!! Added to the ones above, of course.

[Wegadrummer]

I dont have any favourite on this forum, but there are people i KNOW are good and skilled and they are helping me (and other drummers) to develop both as musicians and drummers, tech and groove and so on. They are like the foundation for our "drumming house" and i have much respect for them...
To name a few there is off course Bernard, Doggy, Nutha and Stu.. And people like Fin, MedioFB, Rudimental Drummer, Aahzwhaterhesnameis, Britt, Topcat, Drummer Karl off course, T.Underhill, Stormi, Glynes, Titansound, drum progressive and fourstringsdrums.. Cant remember more names now..

When I do my next report from NAMM hopefully I'll redeem myself for a week or two.

Your reports are great (yes, I was around to read about Neil Peart, Tim Waterson, and others). I just wanted to point out something other than helpfulness...humor. Without good humor the forum's overall atmosphere would be dead.

[LinearDrummer]

First is Bernhard cause its his site and he opened my eyes to some drummers I had never heard of before with those cool clips....

Second would be Stu cause he made me feel welcome to the site by answering my ??s and PMs by givin me some real good advice....

Third are the players that I like cause they've humbled me and made me realize that I still have alot of work to do....guys that I've heard play that I like are Britt, Jazzsnob, Duke and Yamaha drummer....

There some others that I like too just can't name them all....

[metalheadeza666]

ermm...fav members


Barry Buchanan
Karl
Bernhard
Nutha
Dog breath
Finn
secondXheartbeat
zildjian_dude 101

loads really can't remeber names off top of my head...

[ege_the_drummer]

Favorites huh? Probably would be (in absolutley no order)...

Karl
Nutha
Dogbreath
Bernhard
Stu
Finn
Rendezvous
and franklinj

There's more I just cant seem to remember them all...

[Jay.B.]

Okay, based on actual personal experience, I'd have to say Titansound, met him on sunday and he's a great guy (plays pearl aswell, top bloke for that)

everybody else has named names so now I feel a little left out haha

others would include

Bernhard
Nutha & Barry (and not just because they both have a BLX)
Stu
MFB
Jollymosherdude (rad hair dude)
Karl
Stormi
Neurotica (puuurrrr)
finnhiggins

there's lots of people here who's posts I enjoy reading and have gained a lot of knowledge from, those are just off the top of my head and in no particular order (get out clause)

Even classA, I have gained a lot from some of his threads, not necessarily his posts, but he seems to get the best advice going which is always a great read

[Stormi]

Awwww, I got two mentions - I feel all warm and fuzzy inside now! Being the n00b I am, I can't really post helpful advice that much - only to absolute beginners - but I try! Or do you just like me for my hawtness?

[jazzsnob]

massonni is pretty awesome, he's a full on working pro and answers some dumb questions in a smart way.

Karl makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside and reminds me of my younger years(I'm an ancient 18 years old).

Jeff Almeyda is serious as hell and I always appreciate Joe Morello stories (not too mention 2nd generation technique concepts)

[0neyellowdrum]

I have to say:
Drummer Karl for his ambassadorship. His posts are positive and encouraging and always supportive.
He can never hide his love of drums. If groove is the ultimate feel good of drumming then Karl is 'the groove'.
Next would be Finn, Jazzgregg and Stu for their (sometimes brutal) honesty and overall command of the intellect of drumming and the drumming world. Though their responses, at times, appear arrogant and elitist, I have come to believe they are all just passionate about drums, drumming, the art of drumming, the science of drumming and the culture of drumming. Few can stand up to these 3 in any argument or debate. Agree or disagree with their posts and their delivery, I still cannot wait to see what they will post next.
Mattsmith for showing us all that setting goals, being persistent, not being intimidated and wood shedding can get you anything you want in life no matter what age you are.
There are more but.....
Steve

[GRUNTERSDAD]

Okay, staying slightly off-topic - Did the US version of Romper Room have Mr Dooby, the bee? They used to play a game with balloons that went "Mr Dooby, how do you do, we're going to play a game with you,we'll let you buzz, we'll let you fly...*something something* sailing by"? and they'd let the balloons go (untied) and they'd go flying around the room.

Yep
Stormi, it went something like this...Do be a Do Bee, dont be a dont Bee

[Ian Ballard]

Honestly, and I've said this on many other forums... I really don't like these threads. But the reason I'm replying is so it's understood that I like a lot of people here. I don't think it's healthy to broadcast who you like, because when you leave people out, you essentially also list the ones you don't.

Sure, there's people who top your list... but those people generally already know it and you probably carry on convos and a friendship elsewhere either virtually or otherwise.

[finnhiggins]

I hate you Ian, you're not my friend anymore. Also, you're not invited to my birthday party.

[Ian Ballard]

Awww, poop.

I guess I'll be getting a refund on those tix to New Zealand.

[Bttl]

My Favourite Member Would Have To Be evans_69.

i didnt put you in, and i dont hate you. also, no-ones entered my name (how surprising!) but does that mean that no-one likes me? (please someone like me)

[harryconway]

I like you, and if you get a Myspace page, Tom will like you too.

[TitanSound]

Okay, based on actual personal experience, I'd have to say Titansound, met him on sunday and he's a great guy (plays pearl aswell, top bloke for that)



You wont be saying that when you see me pissed......hahahaha!

Have to echo Jay's sentiments there as obviously we have spoken in person, Nutha too!

But yeah I like everyone on this forum, you are all drummers...my fave kind of people!!!

[Tetley]

In the year or so i've been reading the posts on here lots of guys have spoken lots of sense and they are too many to list.

but.....
Bernhard ; obvious reasons, thank you

MFB ; for the reasons above but especially for not allowing some arrogant and unfair posts to slide and making the point many of us probably should have

Karl ; legend, manages to tell you he doesn't like the finish on your kit without being offensive! and far too good for a 14 year old

and the moderators for a job well done.

[Stormi]

i didnt put you in, and i dont hate you. also, no-ones entered my name (how surprising!) but does that mean that no-one likes me? (please someone like me)

I like you! I added you to my MySpace - and I'm very picky on that! I don't just add ANYONE, you know!

[gusty]

I like you! I added you to my MySpace - and I'm very picky on that! I don't just add ANYONE, you know!
haha well now i definately feel loved <3. hmm, good that this reached 4 pages without being banned, or someone screwing it up haha.

[Tetley]

I have also found out that MFB supports the same football team as me, so he gets my vote twice over.....

Ah... herd instinct at its highest point.

[Stu_Strib]

My favorite members are the "YOUNG GUNS". These are the young guys that make intelligent posts about music, drumming and life in general and don't use their youthful age as an excuse to act stupid:

Britt
Karl
MattSmith
MFB
(some others I'm forgetting?)

My second group of faves are the great players that I learn a lot from and who freely share technique and tips:

JazzGregg
Yamahadrummer
Jazzsnob
TheDuke
DerrickPope (but I forget his user ID, DJP?)
(some others I'm forgetting)

The final group I like is the "Old Guard". These are the old guys that have been out of drumming and have come back in after a long layoff, and really let us know how it is now compared to how it used to be (the good and the bad!) There are too many to name in this category, but they are all great because of the awesome level of diversity they bring.

And as much as I appear to come across as having disdain for these guys, I truly enjoy the youthful reckless types that come in here and bring the "crazy drummer" persona to the board. Although I never was nor will ever be like them, I appreciate their enthusiasm and over-the-top contributions to the board.

Of all these, my two favorite would have to JazzGregg. JazzGregg holds nothing back, and is a wealth of knowledge...so what if he hurts some feelings along the way? MattSmith is my runner-up, in that he is quite possibly the most intelligent writer on this board (and only a teenager still) AND he can back it up with his playing.

Cheers to everyone!

[Muckster]

Karl for inspiration

Stu for keeping it real (best avatar also).

[Stu_Strib]

Well Wega, you are married, so that automatically makes you too old ;-)

[Wegadrummer]

Cool, I always though I was a young gun..

[Kenny Aldrich]

I'm new here but so far

stu. [he hates anything bogus] we agree mostly

matt smith [he looks at both sides of a dissagreement and calls attention to the positive sides of both sides] I question a speed drummer who never watches buddy videos but anyway...


nutha [he just has that radar thing going on]


ray bloom [because he disects every stinkin' word i say and makes me think lol]


jazz snob [we largely agree and I like his reviews of the drummers who post on "my space"



but I dig the positive vibe I get here and all contribute to that so CHEERS to all!!!

[DogBreath]

hmm, good that this reached 4 pages without being banned, or someone screwing it up haha.
That gave me a laugh.

[gusty]

That gave me a laugh.
haha, well ive kinda wanted to start a thread like this for a long time (also kinda wanted to start a "favourite avatar" thread) but i kinda put it off cause i thought it just would've been deleted haha. Also because of the number of threads (specially in off topic) that have been ruined by stupid arguments, then the thread being locked or deleted.

[Stu_Strib]

I'm impressed by the quality of this thread as well. Bravo Drummerworld members!

[T.Underhill]

I like T.Underhill and DogBreath for their overall bluntness and sarcastic sense of humor.

...and of course Bernhard for making the best drumming site on the interweb.

OMG, DB and I mentioned in the same sentence. What is this forum coming to?!?! Heheh. I guess I learned from the best. Most of the time my bluntness and sarasm comes from logging in at 2am after a payday weekend...

[bonham990]

Favourite forum member hmm.... i would have to go with HardcoreLogo. He's helped me out just a little bit with my drumming lol.

[rendezvous_drummer]

Jilted Nut, T. Underhill, KzSg are three other members that I really respect. Drum god too.

[YAMAHA DRUMMER]

My Favourite forum members ..are : Stu_Strib , rendezvous_drummer , harryconway , DogBreath ,T.Underhill , Karl , Finn , Britt , HardcoreLogo , Jazzsnob , TheDuke , MFB , Linear drummer , Jay. B , Finnhiggins , Jollymosher , Salicete , Frankllinj , aahznighsky.

[Wile E. Coyote]

You're not my favourite member anymore! ;)

[Neurotica]

Well, yeah - dopobachennya is - goodbye =)

[rendezvous_drummer]

Well... In my mother language it would be UCRANIANA. Sorry for not being English...

[djp132]

My favorite member is Derrick Pope =)

That's right fellas, she's all mine. Look but don't touch. Hahaha

I'm saving up money to get my butt over to Ukraine. The sooner the better.

[Neurotica]

Haha, I'm waiting =)

[Wile E. Coyote]

Hahaha, sorry man, didn't see you're from Sweden! CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS!!
Yes, we're still friends...LOL
But I'm not from Sweden!!! I live there now, but I'm from Mallorca. Mediterranian pride!!

[somedrummer]

Well, I'd have to go with Bernhard for 2 reasons:

1. He created this great place that we all take advantage of. He is the greatest.

2. Just about everything he says is hilarious, no matter what it's about!

[gusty]

and t.underhill, derrick(awsome vid), stu(if i havent put u down already).

[Bttl]

1. Stu
2. Deathmetalconga
3. Karl
4. evans_69
5. bttl (had to get my name on here somehow)

:D

[aahznightsky]

I like you! I added you to my MySpace - and I'm very picky on that! I don't just add ANYONE, you know!


I know you don't! Because you definitely havent accepted my friend request!

[gusty]

I know you don't! Because you definitely havent accepted my friend request!
yeah well, only the special few get excepted hehe.

[Stormi]

I know you don't! Because you definitely havent accepted my friend request!

LOL, well you have to mention you are from DW. What's your MySpace name, coz I normally check the profiles and add anyone who's a drummer. Send another request to me and I'll add you (along with $10 :P)

[Deathmetalconga]

1. Stu
2. Deathmetalconga
3. Karl
4. evans_69
5. bttl (had to get my name on here somehow)

:D

Thanks so much, bttl! My apologies, as I don't recall you, but I'll definitely take closer notice of you now.

I vote Synthetik for best newbie, or my favorite member at least. He's been on the board less than a month and if I see his name on a thread, I automatically open it because I know he is informative, opinionated, knowledgeable and into unusual stuff. I don't always agree with him, but I learn something from him all the time.

www.terrasonus.com

[franklinj]

Have to add DeathMetalConga and Synthetik.

Funny, I always thought DMC lived in Australia....

[Deathmetalconga]

Thanks!

I've been meaning to tell you for a while that I think you have the coolest avatar ever. I remember seeing that crazy girl years ago somewhere and I think it's hilarious you put some sticks in her hand and a set in front of her. Did you do that yourself? Genius.

[franklinj]

Thanks!

I actually used to have Chuck Norris as my avatar, and it worked pretty well. One night, my sister sent me a link to someones myspace page, and I saw my current avatar and loved it. It was a bit too big at first, but Bernhard (in all his niceness) sized it down using some resizing program. I get so many comments on it now.

Most people know me by my avatar. I love it, too. Its very....unique.

[Wile E. Coyote]

Most people know me by my avatar. I love it, too. Its very....unique.
You know... In the beginning I thought it was this Star Wars kid a lot of people used to talk about. I thought... man, this one reaches the top.
Then I saw the video and found out that I was wrong. Would be cool huh?
Nice one!

[Wegadrummer]

Most people know me by my avatar. I love it, too. Its very....unique.

Yeah, is VERY unique.. its my favourite.. About a year ago I tried to change avatar, but Bernard said no, becuse he thought my avatar is the best.. I will also like to add franklinj and Stormi to my favourite list..

[Superlow]

My favs are:

MFB
Finn
Stu
and many others I don't have the time to name.

These members embody what most drum forums could only aspire to be like. Well thought out unbiased posting.

[jollymosher]

Ouch, I didnt get on stus list of young guns. I never use my age for a cover for my stupidity. But I addmitt that my lack of propper english is a serious disadvantage.


Some one to add to my list of favorite forum members would be Synth. that guy is awesome.

[Casper "DrPowerStroke" Paludan]

Aahznight and Duke stand out for me, but also
Karl,
Gregg (disagreements aside, he knows every drummer apparently and has listened to every album so I can't help learning a lot from him)
Jazzsnob
Finn (with whom I have also had some good arguments)
Jeff (who likes to discuss free strokes as much as I do), and
The Mods, who make this place feel like home. Great, great job, guys!

But I really like everyone who has something interesting to say or who is not afraid to ask questions and share information. DPS

[Jeff Almeyda]

That's right fellas, she's all mine. Look but don't touch. Hahaha

I'm saving up money to get my butt over to Ukraine. The sooner the better.

You should, bro. My wife is Ukrainian and absolutely beautiful.

[gusty]

mmm.....ukrainien chicks....mmm....

[gmrakich]

I like everybody...takes all kinds.
Stu when he is not quiting the board is great
MFB is always worthy of a read. He has a great way of making BB stacking interesting.

[Mediocrefunkybeat]

BB stacking interesting? Hahahaha... that's the best one I've heard in ages and ages.

[emmerson]

id say for me ... drumzac ... cause he lives in my hometown and i chat to him all the time

[cvighals]

That would be Gavin Harrison ;)
What a great guy!!
And a fantastic musician too!!

[Wile E. Coyote]

That would be Gavin Harrison ;)
What a great guy!!
And a fantastic musician too!!
No kiddin'! Is he a member?

[rendezvous_drummer]

No kiddin'! Is he a member?
Sure is. Nice guy too.

[Wile E. Coyote]

Porcupine Gavin Harrison?

[rendezvous_drummer]

Porcupine Gavin Harrison?
Haha that's the one. GETTIN ALL EXCITED?

[Wile E. Coyote]

I like his playing a lot. It's nice to have him among us!

[Fat Elvis]

God bless Karl for the following reasons:

1. He is truly an inspired drummer
2. He love sthis place and all of us
3. He loves Tama Drums (like me)
4. Without him, i would not be on this list (bringing up the rear).

so my vote is Karl. As for MFB and Stu -- well, they are okay. I guess with 4000 posts, you are bound to make a few friends ;)

[Drummer Karl]

God bless Karl for the following reasons:

1. He is truly an inspired drummer
2. He love sthis place and all of us
3. He loves Tama Drums (like me)
4. Without him, i would not be on this list (bringing up the rear).

so my vote is Karl.

BOAH! That is like a beautiful hit in my stomach! or like an orgasm? I don`t know BUT it`s nice! Thanks...really...that is soooo motivating!

Karl

[Mediocrefunkybeat]

I like you Elvis... Heh.

Karl, you're a legend... for all the reasons mentioned above.

[Damon Dapper]

All Serious Drummers kick-azz man!

Their all my favorites.

Dap.

[Mike Firth]

My favs:

Karl (same age as me, knows his stuff)
aahznightsky (was the first drumset post I saw on this site, and damn is that set nice)
DogBreathe (awesome administrator and has great comments for all)
Stu (its stu... cmon)

[Drummer Karl]

Karl, you're a legend... for all the reasons mentioned above.

*drooooling my face away*
thanks mate...thanks..........

Karl =)

[badlydubbedsean]

Aahznight and Duke stand out for me, but also
Karl,

Jazzsnob
Finn (with whom I have also had some good arguments)
Jeff (who likes to discuss free strokes as much as I do), and
The Mods, who make this place feel like home. Great, great job, guys!

But I really like everyone who has something interesting to say or who is not afraid to ask questions and share information. DPS

DrPowerStroke is one of my favourites because he has a cool title. Senior Consultant. Nice. But why the Mods? What's wrong with rockers! only kiddin.

And Karl, cos he's from Germany and they have cool accents. And he has a Tama, what a beautiful kit.

[larlev]

One that I respect...is Fat Elvis.

If he posts regarding a cymbal, snare drum etc. you can rest assured he has spent the time to give an overall educated opinion....much appreciated

[sgt.pepper1986]

Dude, there are so many cool people here, and I'll try to put what I can!
Dogbreath, Nutha Jason, Bernhard, Drummer Karl, aahznightsky, Stu Strib, Fat Elvis, Neurotica, Mediocrefunkybeat, jollymosher, Rendevous Drummer, and a bunch of others. This is an awesome site, and I'm glad I stumbled upon it when I did a while ago!

[drummerchick435]

My Favorite members would be
1. Bernhard
2. Nutha Jason
3. DogBreath
4. djp132

[DreamTheater4life]

hey, i just started this thread out of interest, wondering who is the most favourite or respected forum member. personally, i think MFB is my favourite, always good advice and a balanced view on threads, also a very nice person. what are your thoughts? and by the way, please dont turn this into a most hated forum member thread, that would ruin it.

[drummerchick435]

Haha you post pretty often and when you do I notice it. We had a good talk about small snares and about how Dublin is awesome. Honoured to be on your list man.

[Mr. Pasquini]

Everyone is able to contribute to the conversations we have. I love Karl's knowledge and even though I'm older, in a way I look up to him: he's very good, but he's humble. I truly like everyone here, I'm proud to be part of such a fine community!

[gusty]

This thread again? Might start a new list then....

Fat Elvis
Chip (yeah he's banned but ive been talking a bit with him on msn and he's really friendly and helpful)
Nutha J

[d.c.drummer]

(Guys like d.karl, Bernhard and dogbreath are a given)

[gusty]

[rendezvous_drummer]

After school's finished over here, which will be within 3 years hopefully. I rented the Yamaha Musashi Oak 12x6 snare and i'm seriously in love with it. If it was socially acceptable, i'd marry it.

Fat Elvis and I are in the process of building a Musashi army. Care to join?

Indeed I do good sir. I didn't know Fat Elvis had a Musashi.

[Fat Elvis]

well, i dont -- but hell -- with me, its only a matter of time. I do want one... i think that will be my next snare.

mfb is totally the awesomest.

[Mediocrefunkybeat]

My minions are already confused!

I hold the power... this time.

Hehehe. Just messing with you guys.

[Ozzy Biz]

Don't worry, I think everyone is confused.

[Mediocrefunkybeat]

I'll gladly put my hand up and say I'm not.

Last night, an airbag saved my life.

[rendezvous_drummer]

What happened? You got in a car accident or something MFB? Yea that's right, don't think that I can't read that!

[Drummer Karl]

Yea that's right, don't think that I can't read that!

hahahaha, I thought the same.
But seriously, what happened with you??? Man, god bless you...and those new generation air-bags.

WOW. Good to have you here. Just wanna say this again.

[radiofriendlyunitshifter]

mfb: the contrast on our computers is higher than you think!

obviously you'd like to share... why don't you?

[Mediocrefunkybeat]

Sorry guys, I didn't actually think any of you (except the most subtle) would see that. It's not serious, don't worry! I didn't actually get into a car accident!

I've been listening to OK Computer a lot recently, which is the explanation.

[rendezvous_drummer]

Hahaha. Damn good job on listenin to Radiohead! It's a great album indeed.

Well, Karl, if you don't know, I can say you still have maybe the best in store for you! I only hope you will continue drumming after you "know", and that you don't get distracted by girls or other non drumming related activities. Peace, DPS

Well...this famous topic: Love.
Man, I would never forget about drumming...I have to say that it is so damn hard with the girls...and this love. No no, not sex, I mean love. But guess you already knew what I`m talking about.
Always when I find a girl interessting or she likes me...we stay in that situation...because I live for the other thing in life: Music. Not that I don`t fall in love with a gal but it is strange...you know? And in addition to that, a few of those girl-related things frustrated me.

Only god knows whats next. But one thing I also know: Drumming is the thing in life.

Thought I would tell you...*peace*

I have been here for some time now and I enjoy this forum. I get caught up in my work and life at home so I don't check in all the time.
First of all, I love all you musicians and all you that are learning and loving it.
Bernhard is #1 and is such a sweet man.
Dogbreath knows I love him and his family.
Karl is the son I will never have and you are going to be a star one day!
Glynes is my hero and inspires me along with the other drummer chicks on here.
The respect that is given out here to the new and old is amazing.
I am a big joker but I can be serious when needed.
Pinner

[Tutin]

You are all my favourites! Everyone has a bit of knowledge I can learn from them. Before I joined here all I played was metal, now I'm learning Jazz, Funk, Rn'B, Drum n' bass etc. etc. so thank you all!

[maddrummr]

You know this one guy maddrummr... yea hes pretty sweet.

wait....

Gotta give the thumbs up to bernhard, and the mods. Without them there would be no drummerworld
Ive always liked TopCat's random comments. MFB, you know very very much about recording and i hope to use the info some day. Karl is kind and stu seems silent right now. Class A is awesome

Okay that was planned.

[DogBreath]

Pinner, you sweet little thing, you just made my day.

Well I've not come across anyone I disliked, so I guess I like everyone. I do my best to be okay with people, but sometimes I have no time for different things I feel cheapen art. The results of this could be a single foolish post on a thread from people selling the art of drumming in a manner some sell boxercise as if it is an effective and real martial art. In future I'll just ignore such threads.

People who have stood out have been DogBreath's brother. I found myself emotionally involved in his plight. Another is young Karl, who I saw get into a bit of strife but come through it with dignity and poise. Others include those who got behind my return to "the business".

I think overall this is a very positive place with people who like to help and simply love drumming. My only issue with forums in general is that I feel some people post uninformed responses too willingly. But this can be attributed to over enthusiasm. It is then up to the reader to decide. So ultimately no harm is done.

This is certainly the only forum I've seen that I am willing to spend time at.

I love you for your avatar. Do you play batá? Just had a course with Yaroldi Abreu.

[ghuyuiq]

There are so many pros around here I learned a lot of (just by reading their posts) and a lot members that really motivate and encourage me, there are some people here that know a lot about sound, but my favourite is Wavelength... I think he's very smart and he's always to the point.

[driver]

I figure I may aswell join this thread now its so nice, I thought it could turn ugly at 1st!

When scrolling if i see MFB's funny face avitar ill always stop and read what he has to say.

Fat Elvis and gmrakich are great guys too. I respect their views and love their taste in gear.

ALSO Dingbat is a great guy.

Theres always the obvious people to love around here, NJ DB Karl and the mighty Bernhard but they almost go without saying (inc so many more)!

EDIT: I also really enjoy hearing the stories and advice of masonni. I like his working drummer style and im jelous of his endorsements!

Excellent. In that case, I nominate myself. I'd love to be just like me.

[aydee]

Too many to name.... I got my technique buddies, my gear heads, my tuning maestros, just plain old good guys, guys who stir my intellect, and guys who have got stuff they teach me on the forum.

I would say my favorite forum members would be Bernard and the Mods, for creating and maintaining this wonderful on-line community of so many great , helpful, warm & kind people.

[GW Drums]

I am still learning who's who but I really enjoy reading from Fourstringdrums. He seems to be very helpful to other's questions and I can also tell from his posts that he has a true love for drums. Seems to be a very nice guy. That said, so do the majority of the people on here. I enjoy reading from everybody.

[Wavelength]

Bernard and the Mods

Hey, that sounds like a British children's book from the sixties!

[Drumms]

Drumms is a great guy, I read all of his posts! :)

[aydee]

Hey, that sounds like a British children's book from the sixties!

YES! Come to think of it, it even sounds like a post- Dave Clark 5, groovy, psychedelic early 60s, Jefferson Airpane kind of band.

[Mediocrefunkybeat]

Based on my recent appearance, I can say that I might have to take the 'Rockers' side.

......or a hip-hop sequel to Elton John's 'Benny and the Jets'

^my whole "buddy list"! sorry y'all for the long list (that coulda been longer had I not held back), but I love so many people here!

[nosuggestion]

As a practically non-poster, but avid reader, this thread seems an appropriate place to thank everyone for making this such a helpful, informative, and entertaining site.

Difficult to pick only a handful as there are so many - guess drummers are just naturally great people! - and many have already been mentioned, but would add my mention to:

Bernhard, just for being Bernhard; NJ for the helpful advice (particularly for a relative beginner like myself); DB for the dry humour; Mediocrefunkybeats; Fourstringdrums; DJP for the vids (always entertaining).. Oh and so many more.

Special mention though to some of the younger members, particularly DrummerKarl, Matt Smith, and Jazzsnob (some very useful technique tips - thanks). After a couple of hours on YouTube, MySpace, FB etc. and feeling like I want to weep for the future of mankind, coming here and reading the knowledgeable, intelligent, and articulate arguments of these young men really restores my faith in the younger generation.

Oh, and though I'm not really into the whole WFD thing Tim Waterson seems like a great and helpful guy, even if he does need to sort out that STICKY caps LOCK problem :-)

[nebula821]

MEDIOCRE FUNKY BEAT without a doubt

[fourstringdrums]

Well of course I have to nominate myself...

But Mediocrefunkybeat, Karl, Kapcervio (I'm sure I butchered his name), Kung_f00, pasquini, nhzoso, crazyhorse, deathmetalconga, juststickinaround, drummerchick,...and I'm probably missing some others.

[ZildjianMan1023]

wavelength
jeff almeyda
derrick

and definately a big one to theduke86. this guy pulled me out of my practise rut, got me going properly and gave me a more serious outlook on drumming and practise.

[da cheese walks]

lads,
i love mediocrefunky beat,
imastounded by jazzsnob, and by smooth jazz....


i thin the amazing "jazz snobs" of our little motely crew are amazing....anyone with "jazz" in their names is amazing and i love you all....


Drummerworld is a crazy little family...you have to realise that...

[Drummer Karl]

I have often wondered about Stu Strib over the past year. When I was spending a lot of time on this forum in early-mid 2006, he was the most present member and a good guy. Anyone know of his whereabouts? Is he still in the UK? Did he go back to Texas?
It seemed strange that he would one day just disappear from everyone's radar after averaging something like 20 posts a day.

Yes, I often think the same.
In general there were members I got to know...and they disappeared one day.
Maybe contact Stu? I thought about that...

Another great guy who is missing in my opinion.

Stu (for no reason) reminds me of steve smith a bit. maybe its his avatar, and the 's' in their names (Steve Smith and Stu Strib) that reminded me of him.

Stu contacted me a bit ago, but nothing much was said about the forum. It was more of just a friendly "hello." Although, Stu and I didn't talk about the forum much either. Just the usual rah rah. He is still lurking around though.

I know that he has other things that he is focusing on besides the forum. The forum was taking up alot of his time and has changed a bit. Maybe he simply felt that he wasn't getting the attention that he used to get. There are other older members who felt that they weren't getting thier due attention, so they caused a little cry baby stink....... remember? I don't think I need to mention names.

But, who really knows. I don't ask, and I don't really care.

[fourstringdrums]

I don't really think we need/want to bring up old issues like that, especially not 2 years later. One more for the fact that most of those people involved aren't here to defend themselves and another for the fact that you may have your facts wrong for why some, if not most of those people, myself included, left.

I hope you weren't referring to me. I might just be having a self-conscious moment here.

[fourstringdrums]

I hope you weren't referring to me. I might just be having a self-conscious moment here.

No, don't worry. He was referring to something that happened a few years ago.

[drummerchick435]

No, don't worry. He was referring to something that happened a few years ago.

Okay...that is a relief.
