OMG ... I didn't know they were a couple. Oh well, he always did like rhythm and it would be an amazing jammin' marriage. This quote in the report definitely caught my eye ... "Carlos proposed to Cindy in July during a concert right after her drum solo". Seems like she was right in the zone that night :)

That's one reason for drum solos not mentioned in the What Is The Purpose Of Drum Solos? thread ...

I can't remember when I first heard of this, but I found myself thinking that at least they have something in common...

...and I'd been thinking about him a lot since one of my bands covers Santana often. He's always got some uber-hot babes slinking around in his recent videos. Wonder how Cindy will take that...?

Finally: Cindy .... 51?!? Really? Looking GREAT, sister!

my drummer told me about it last summer.

check youtube for onstage co-mingling.

Has Dennis lost his gig???

I met Cindy years ago. She's really nice.

DrumEatDrum · #6 01-01-2011, 02:20 AM

Wow, I had no idea they were an item.

And really no idea Cindy was even close to 51. (?!?!?!!?!?!?!!!!)

And I didn't know she had been touring with Santana.

So, this is a triple surprise!

Old news isnt it? Ken, good idea the People sub..

Wy, glad to hear Dennis quit.

Carlos and him would have made an awful couple, I think even though they both chew gum kinda the same way.

Big Foot · #10 01-01-2011, 04:03 PM

Ahh, ... all that lovey dovey stuff... I was hoping they were going to be touring together...

Congrats!

My daughter got to meet her a few years back and Cindy was very cool w/her.

I've always wondered that too.

No worries, that´s Polly´s pet - some kind of giant German breed cockroach.

All the best to the newly-weds, she looks beautiful!!! It seems that Cindy caught Carlos with that drum solo, do drum solos have a purpose?

Red Menace · #14 01-02-2011, 06:40 AM

Wow! she looks great for a lady of 51. He really scored on this one, good looks AND she's a drummer. Horale!

Yeesus Pol, what do you feed that thing?

Pollyanna · #16 01-02-2011, 09:14 AM

Now now, lads, I don't want to steal Cindy and Carlos's thunder with my beloved pet roach, Klaus (good memory, Ian). If I bring him along with me to restaurants I can always get a seat.

Unfunky, you are definitely have my press agent job.

Red, Klaus - like his hundreds of little brothers and sisters - eats whatever he can find around the place (if I don't squash them first). If the Buddhists are right I will be PollyRoach in my next life ...

Dennis is still listed as a band member on the site, which hasn't been updates in a while. Abe, are you saying Dennis quit? that would be unfortunate. he should have waited for the lucrative buy out.

I would assume that Carlos' first marriage broke up due to his touring and busy professional life. They were married a long time. It is kind of surprising. I don't know what the scoop as to whether or not Cindy is Carlos' new drummer; but it would seem that would have to be the case. Marriage does have its perks.

Naw, I was being silly and facetious. Cindy's probably a sub or a special guest. Dennis has the gig.

In this video, it looks like she's playing Dennis's kit.

Yup, good catch. Thats definitely Dennis' Yellow Pearl with the black hardware and the mounted Bass drum to the right. Sounds like his kit too..
