and spent a good 20 of those years on the road playing every city and state in this country/in clubs 6 nights a week. I just hope that some here might find my opinions valid or at least worth some thought. I'm not attacking YOU, I'm attacking your comment. It's not a personal thing. Just I can't he...

Evans snare heads last twice as long as a Remo Ambassador and sonically just sound better. I tried Evans heads on my whole kit (Yamaha Recording Custom at the time) for about a year back in the early 90s, and then switched back to Remo. I tried an Evans snare head again about six years ago, and aga...

Let the double bass commence. Ugh..... Bad experience for me, sorry. Judged it two years ago state here, never again! It was THE most un-musical thing I have ever been a part of, and considering that I was pimped as a drum teacher at a music school, man.... it was ugly. Blindfolds and all. I judged...

RIP Mike!
