Re: INTRODUCTIONS - Please use this thread to introduce yourself

Hi, I'm Bob. I've been playing since 1970. I play a 74 Gretsch 5 piece with Zildjian and Paiste. I am 51 years old. I currently play with a contemporary Bluegrass/ jam band from Connecticut called The String Band. I've been playing with them since Feb. of 08. I have a jazz background, so I like to incorporate that feel into the bluegrass style. I found this music to be a challenge. None of the licks that I was used to playing fit with the music. That's why I settled on adding jazz to the mix. So far it has worked. I have gotten many compliments. When I was a kid a guy from the Bronx in NYC started calling me Bob-Da-Drumma. That's how I got my nickname. I learned to play in a drum corps in Trumbull Connecticut when I was in seventh grade.

Re: New user

Welcome, and just so you know, that guy who posted above me owns the joint. And he's a really nice fella at that.

I, too am a late bloomer. I started in 2002 when I was 26 and took weely lessons for about three months. I exhausted my talent pretty early on and now all I got is from working at it ;-)

As for the site, it is indespensible. The insights from the members and wealth of questions answered (that you didn't even know to ask) are impressive.

Welcome to your new addiction. We have about 16,000 pushers at this connection.
