H.O.D. members, Please allow me to humbly apologize for the amount of negativity that my thread caused over the past few days. I put a huge emphasis on drummers supporting each other and building each other up and I exhibited the exact opposite behavior through some of my comments. Please understand...

This is the last post on this topic, it has gotten pretty out of control in a hurry, lol. Even if I don't see eye to eye with the creator of this amazing forum it doesn't mean that I don't respect the HELL out of what he has done with this site and his amazing skills on the instrument. They far exce...

You're right about us not being their primary target market,.. But young people check out this forum as well.... Baiting/Picking fights on a thread you created doesn't put you in a great light, and that's not being a great role model or ambassador to younger drummers.. It appears,.. to me anyway,.....

I wrote it off as you just having a very young client base. Kids will be kids. But I assumed you were...

To the HOD cats, I truly hope that Steve and I can do the rest of this childish crap in person or through email so that you don't have to be a part of it. You guys have a great thing going here and I will stay clear of the forum from now on so that it can remain positive and grow. The post above is ...

your right Steve, how could I have been so blind. Thanks for showing me the ways of my mistakes.

Hey Mike, Just want to jump in here and say great work and a great service provided to the community, especially to the younger players that might not have been exposed to some of the deeper concepts/hipper stuff. I'm a firm believer that there's room for everyone and it's great that you're working...

[/quote] :) Cool! Nice job on what you do, Mike. You provide a valuable service to young drummers.

It's just important to remember t...
