Hello everyone,
I'm a drummer who's been on a 20 year break.
I started out in drumming when I was about 13 years old in a Drum & Bugle Corps called the 27th Lancers from Revere, Mass. In my 20's I played the local clubs in Boston in an originals band in the early to mid 80's. Then I got a real job and gave up performing and for the most part drumming.
Now, I'm back. A couple of my old band members had the idea to put together an all acoustic Beatles tribute band and do some gigs. That's how I found myself back behind a drum kit feeling somewhat lost.
I decided to dedicate myself to getting my chops back and becoming the best drummer I can be at this stage of my life. I'm putting together my first drum kit (see my pics below) since about 1985. I have yet to get cymbals but I couldn't wait to post a pic.
Anyway, I'm glad to be here. I'm looking forward to talking drums with you all!
John
