Hold on. mfb, you play the drums??
I'm dggin your church. A tank top and a backward hat for a church service. Radical.
Wow. This never happens. A picture of MFB actually playing the drums...
This is a really old picture of me before I started playing for Trick. I'm playing on a Yamaha here. This is during a show in Scottsdale, Arizona with a band I used to play for called Radiofix.
What venue is that picture from? Looks like probably Martini Ranch or Marquee theater?
This was somewhere around South Dakota possibly.. our band had a show to play in Minnesota (we're from California) and as I was driving, I decided to wake up our photographer and let him see the sunrise. He decided to wake up everyone else, tell them to unload acoustic equipment, and play in this open field off the highway. It was like, 35 degrees outside but totally beautiful and awesome. There's video of this somewhere.. we did this sort of thing all along the way, there and back.
Last Sunday at band Practice, on a set of Yamaha Rydeens. 22, 12, 13 and 16 with a 5X14 snare.
Cymbals 14" ZHT's, 18" A Rock, 16" A custom and 22" Z power ride
WOW!!, I've seen you with a guitar, passed out with cards, I've seen you with a tiarra, and posing as the statue of liberty.......first time I've seen you on a set, lol. You Look good behind a set of drums. lol. Nice set too, have any more pics of that lurking around?
I meant to ask:
Is that: Drums Word or Drum Sword?
Hello,
My name is Michael Whitlow and I'm from Atlanta Georgia. I was in the same band, 285, for 16 years. We were the house band at Six Flags over Georgia in 1982 and 1984. After that we were "rock and roll prostitutes" for 13 years playing clubs while traveling around the United States (mainly the Southeast). One of our best gigs was Club LaVela in Panama City Beach (one of the homes to spring break). Great stories and even better times.
I don't miss the road too much, but I sure do miss playing every night. I'm currently a third year medical student, so I just play drums as a hobby now. At least I actually get to practice versus trying new licks in front of a few hundred people every night. I have learned more in the last year than I would have in a few years on the road (especially with Drummerwold).
If Drummerworld was around when I was in high school, I might have never graduated.
