Yes my story is much like OPs!
My early influence was Mick Fleetwood and Peter Criss, I am 38 and still hold those two nearer than most drummers that I love and have found along my life. I don’t care, they will always be cherished by me.
I remember being a small kiddo and my dad would put in newly dubbed ‘82 ‘The Mirage’ tour or maybe it was ‘Tusk’ on beta. I would drum on pots and pans.
From same tour on his drum solo, who can forget the infamous downing a drink beforehand while lights are off then seconds later, crewman is dumping another drink down his neck.
Getting my Pearl’s at the age of 16 in ‘99, I set up a monkey in the front straddling over the bass like he did from those tours.

Also, Mick’s expressions were very impressionable to me at a young age.
