Hello all,
I hope this is in the right place; if not, would one of the mods mind moving it? I'm very new to the forum. I have been a member of various hockey forum as evidence from my tag name. But drumming is more of a hobbie for me then anything else. I am actually an ice hockey goaltender more than anything. I currently play hockey for Niagara University on the ACHA div 1 team. I have gotten a few pro tryouts for next year and that is what I will be pursuing.
As far as drumming, I play on a standard Tama Rockstar. I play mostly a rock style of drums, similar to John Tempesta, or Kenny Aronoff. I would like to someday be able to play like Joey Jordison, Mike Portnoy, or Neil Peart; but due to hockey I haven't been able to put enough time practicing. I have been playing since I was 14 years old and I'm now 24. I'm pretty good at drums but i'm not as good as someone who would have been playing for 10 years. Like i said the drums are more of a hobbie than anything else.
I registered on here to pick up a few pointers and tips or tricks and such. Maybe pick up new gear info to make my kit a little better.

Anyway hello all and i just introduce myself.

You came to the right place for info, and most of it is good. Big Hockey fan here also but that subject goes in the "Off Topic Lounge."

Every header has tons of info and threads on everything you can think of. If you use the search box at the top of the page you will probably find most subjects covered in the past.

"Your Place" is for posting photos of you gear, your playing, your photos etc.
Good luck and have fun.

p.s. My dad went to Clarkson back before goalie masks.
