Thanks so much for clicking on my link. There are only two reasons that I can think of as to why anyone would ever click on my little old link. One is that your ears are still ringing from the last Floydian Slip show that you experienced. I understand if you are a little bit upset with me, so I should explain why I play the drums so incredibly loudly. My first encounter with the drums came when I was just a toddler. My older brother Greg received one of those cheap Sears drumkits with the paper heads from Santa. It may have been a Josie and the PussyCats model, but don't bet the farm on that one. I was wound up with the usual toddler Christmas cheer, and some how I ended up at the bottom of a flight of stairs in a crumpled heap of cheap metal and paper. You can imagine that after this explosive introduction to drumming that I've had a lot to live up to overthe years. While I have broken myself of the habit of destroying drumkits, I still can't stop hitting the drums and cymbals as hard as I possibly can sometimes. The only other reason that I can come up with for someone clicking on my link is that you want to know what on Earth could possibly make all that racket. Well here its. As you can see I am lucky enough to own two drumkits.

My mother gave the main part of Drumkit One to me as a birthday present in 1986. My wife, Liz, gave the snare drum for this kit to me as a wedding present in 1994. The hardware and cymbals are newer, because I still break those things. I purchased the Rogers drums in 1992. Like I said I feel very lucky to own these great instruments, and I'm also lucky enough to get to share them with you, both sonically and visually, and now technically.
