It looked like loads of fun.) Anyway, whenever these shows had a musical number, I was always fixated on the drums....well, that and Laurie Partridge (rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr).

And the beat goes on

Well hello to each and everyone of my fellow drummers.

My name is Anthony (Tony, Anton or The Drumbassador)
I have been playing drums now for the best part of my life now and it has now become my full time job now session drumming for bands and also fulltime drummer for my band KILLER ANGELS www.myspace.com/killerangels

Drumming to me is not a hobby its a way of life and would say to all you beginner drummers out there to just keep on going with the groves as it will pay off for you but its not an over night thing so patents and a cool head are required.BUT ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO ADVISE NEW DRUMMERS IS........LISTEN TO MORE THAN JUST THE STYLE OF MUSIC THAT YOU LIKE AS IT MAKES A BETTER DRUMMER.
I hope that this little bit of my history may rub off onto some of you and make you think about being more passionate about your drumming and look forward to becomeing a regular on this drummers forum.

All the best to each and everyone of you and never give up on your dreams

Tony McCagh
