Re: INTRODUCTIONS - Please use this thread to introduce yourself
real name?
Steve
age?
50... uhhhh something. I forgot!
how long been playing?
I'm one of those "played when I was young then got back into it" guys. I'll say, if it was all together, approx. 9 years.
origin of user name?
The song "Toad".
top 5 drummers?
Ginger Baker primarily, arrrrg... hmmm... Mr. Bonham, Mr. Paice, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Rich.
make of drumkit?
Mapex QR. Double-bass, 2 mounted, 2 floor.
make of cymbal?
Zildjian ZXT all around.
where do you practice?
In the basement. Luckily it's decent, though.
are you in a band/s?
No. Have been though, twice very briefly.
covers or originals?
Have to say both, I guess.
what style of music?
Your various types of rock, some metal, a little oldies, a little 80's and whatever I like that I can handle. Cream, Jethro Tull, Alice Cooper, Judas Priest, KISS, Ted Nugent, Pat Benatar, Deep Purple, others etc. A little of each and heavy on the Cream.
favourite take out food?
Seafood!
country?
USA
one really odd fact about yourself?
I was born on Halloween.
how did you start drumming?
When I was a kid somehow I just kind of defaulted to drums, I'm not instinctively a "guitar man", always enjoyed the drums in songs on the records (I do play a mean air guitar though!). I used to play on cardboard boxes and sofas back in my teens, eventually my dad got me a used Slingerland 4 piece, champagne sparkle. Of course I was banished to the unheated cabin out back but hey, when you're 15 you don't care.
Boy, you guys' drummer tests are hard! *voice of Steve Martin in "The Jerk".
P.S. I've been sneakin' around here for many moons, reading and reading. Thank you all for the WEALTH of KNOWLEDGE to be gleaned here. I figured the decent thing to do would be sign on.
