Re: New to the site

Welcome to the site! I'm a newbie to it also, and I really enjoy spending a little bit of time on here everyday. Hope you enjoy!
 
Re: New to the site

Morning everyone. I'm new to this site as well. I'm from Peterborough Ontario Canada, I originally started playing at 14 on a cheap set of Pizie's befor gratuating to a set of Stewarts. I stopped playing at 22 when I got married and started having a family. Now at 52 I started learning again on a set of Pearls EXR. Getting aquainted with them is one thing....getting the timing back will be like riding a bike again.

Welcome to the forum, Lakeworth. This is a wonderful place - best of it's kind on the web. I'm close to your age and have recently returned to playing full force after a four year break. I've only been a member since right before the new year but have already benefited immeasurably. Lots of great stuff here and a real cross section of players and personalites. Lovin' every minute of it - I'm sure you will too.

Oh, and welcome to the family, D-Rock! Lots and lots of stuff to learn here.

Hey Derek...Wow..hahaha. I used to live in Jensen Beach. On the island. I was born in Stuart.

Now we live on North Hutchinson Island.....right by North Jetty. Yes...I am a surfer...thats why I live up here. I know TONS of people from Jensen Beach! Very small world.

You say you have been playing for 9 years? Did you take lessons for awhile? Do you know any of the members of the bands..."Last Laugh"...Fifty Dollar Flander"..."Waterbird (they broke up.)"

Do you know any of the Banfi's? Dave or Steve. They are some great musicians in Stuart. Wow...I could go on and on. Did you used to play gigs at the open mic night at the Lyric Theater?

Re: New to the Forum

Welcome Eddie, this is a great site for sharing. And if you want info on the Sonor 3003 make sure you do a search before posting because chances are the question has already been asked and answered. There is alot of information on the Sonor 3003's here. I just bought my white sparkle 3003 in december and love it. I am new to drums but have learned alot since coming here so feel free to message me any questions and I may be able to help or atleast point you to someone who can. Make sure you post your pics when you get the set in there is always room for more pics of the Sonor's.
