Hello

Hey, my name is Max! I'am 14, and i've been playing for about 3 years. Man, people like way younger than me and same age also are freaking good! I got on this site, then I saw that Royster dude!

One good fact about me: I can build the kit i want
How did you start: In high school. Played clarinet in grade school (6th grade) and didnt like it so i took up drums (sophmore year) along with choir.

About to start a new kit. Sold my last one. Single kick 20 x 20(lot of thunder from that one), 14 suspended floor, 6, 8, 10, 13 racks and a 14 x 8 snare (great throaty bottom end, sound fills the room). Rolled the shells from italian poplar (12 ply). Nice sounding kit.

Next one will be a beast though, 14 x 8 snare, 10x9, 12x10, 13x11, 14x12 racks, 18x16 floor and ...... two 28x28 kicks. Also will be rolled from italian poplar and covered with either sheet brass or bronze. Should be a sweet kit. I'll keep you posted. Ciao, Rich the builder
