Members whom you've met in person

Larry

"Uncle Larry"
Well? Punks?

Start singing like a canary, see?
 
Numerous, but I'm pretty sure Larry has met far more than anyone, given he's been willing to do the most traveling.

Derek Roddy
Gary of Wac'd Drums

Gavin Harrison. I was looking for a teacher. The local Watford music shop called Hammonds recommended him. (Like, understatement of the century!)
I had one or two lessons with him at his parent's house in Watford around 1981 or 82. I'll always remember something he said to me. He said "if Steve Gadd was watching he'd tell me to get my **** together" :D
 
Just Mr Schwartz.

Almost got to meet Matt down near Disney, but he was sick the day I came through!

Larry promises to come see me if he comes near the CA bay area.
 
Quite a lot...

Madge, Jon, Andy, Larry, Grea (Anon La Ply), David Floegel, Jon, Caz, Ollie, Ben (PQlyer) and I'm sure a whole lot more than have introduced themselves at the LDC and elsewhere and I have subsequently forgotten on the spur of the moment. I wonder who I've managed to offend...
 
I've met Mike M and Bo. Both really good guys.

Mike visited our warehouse one night, back when we used to jam there. It was a great evening. He is a hard hitter too!

I went to one of Bo's gigs in Sunset Beach. It was close-by.
 
I'm still new, and figuring out who all is here. The only person I can say that I've met in-person is Bermuda.
 
I know I'm forgetting some, please forgive my iffy memory.

drumnhands I've known since I was 17, long before this forum existed.
 
I've met Big Stu

As the Aussie contingent is small, we win for highest percentage concentration of DW members by continent.
 
From NAMM 2014 (or maybe 2013).
 
I didn't realize that Bill Detamore was a member.

 
Well, living in the hinterlands of North Idaho, I've only met two, and neither are still here. I met Zambizzi (Vinnie) when he lived in Boise, and I met Funkutron a few times. He plays locally.
 
I haven't met anybody yet sadly but I think I might have almost met someone. I was in one of the East Bay suburbs and I was standing next to a guy who had a Zildjian shirt on and I was going to go ask what kind of Zildjian cymbals he plays and if he had ever heard of DrummerWorld before but for some reason I thought it was pgm554 since I know he's from that area.

Standing Mid-week jam in downtown Livermore if you can ever make it out. PM me for details if interested! You can meet the lifeblood of the whole forum, me and my twin who says horrible things and never seems to be in the room with me.
 
I've not met any of you in real life, but I'm Facebook friends with a couple of you. And hopefully soon I'll have the opportunity to do something about that. Cheers.
