bmgdrummer Says A Sincere Thanks-

How cool is this! I am so thankful to be a featured part of this site. What a killer opportunity for me to share a little about me and my passion for drums. Its a wonderful "disease" that many of us are infected with, and I am glad to be able to give a little insight to other drummers out there that want to soak up any material or info to inspire and push their drumming to new levels. Very happy to contribute to our world of percussive music, and thanks for allowing me the forum to do such, guys! Just wish I had some time to learn those tunes DrumFreak and Rotcav asked me to jam along with!! I feel like I just hacked through them, but it still was fun. Stay tuned for some lesson stuff that Billy has inspired me to prepare and work on to share with all the drummers here. We drummers are so lucky to have drummerconnection.com available to us to learn from and contribute our own ideas and tips to. Suffice to say, drummers rule!

Kevin,

Thanks for coming out! We look forward to our continued experiences together. You're a truly awesome musician. Even though those tracks were introduced to you that day, you still did a great job through them. You've got the chops and grooves for sure! We'll let you take another whack at them any time. Remember, these were all from our playalongs section: https://drummerconnection.com/playalongs

Give us a call! We look forward to hooking up with you again!

drumfreak Says Great stuff!

Kevin,

It was an honor to have you out here and jam with us. It's been a long time in the making and we appreciate you sharing your story with us. Keep on rocking in Blue Man Group, you've got a hell of a gig there! We look forward to more video footage of you here soon!

It was an honor to have you out at the drum room and be a part of interview, and most importantly to me, be able to jam with you a little. We rocked it dude, as did you and Billy and Eric! Great times, one of many more I'm sure. See you on the other side bro.
