Did a google search for zombie snoopy for sheets and giggles. Behold Undead Snoopy!

Did a google search for zombie snoopy for shirts and giggles. Behold Undead Snoopy!

Nice try.

But I'm clearly a sexually irresistible vampire Snoopy.

Not some mindless flesh-eating zombie.

Get that moronic impostor to the pound.

Simon Phillips (and Dennis Chambers) is another incredible talent. Never got to meet him, but have been told that he is a very sincere and down to earth guy. As a whacky side-note, I met Will Kennedy (mostly known for his work with the Yellowjackets) at a urinal in a restroom in Katy, Texas. Apparently, he lives out that way. Didn't shake hands (for obvious reasons) but enjoyed conversing with him.

Other clinics that I was fortunate enough to attend while in NOLA: Billy Cobham, Anton Fig and Guy Gelso. I was never much of a Zebra fan, but Gelso was also very cool and incredibly informative.

So many influences in my sophomoric drumming "career", obviously Peart, Gadd, Keltner, Kunkel, Copeland, Moore (Stanton). Sure, Rich and Krupa are up there, but they were a tad before my time.

Last concert I went to was Steely Dan, at UNO Lakefront Arena; not long before Walter Becker "moved on". Keith Carlock (from N Mississippi, either Greenville or Greenwood) killed it on the drums. Saw him a couple of years earlier when Sting played at the Saenger, and he killed it as well. Amazing talent.

I've rambled enough and likely derailed this thread beyond salvage, so I'll just shut it down for the night.

Your dad sounds like a pretty cool dude, who happens to have a pretty cool son. Enjoy him while you can.

How many drummers do we have in this board?

My personal favorite is David Garibaldi and I have been influenced by many as well.

Garibaldi is another great. His work with Tower of Power will likely never be equaled. That groove he played on Squib Cakes is just infectious.

Not to "out" anyone, but I believe that member, Alan12, plays. Fairly certain I've seen him lurking on drum forums that I frequent.

I will gladly accept that image as my new persona. Sometimes it does feel as though I have that many crazy voices in my head.

Seriously supposed no one has thrown out a Thrawn photo yet.

Some Star Wars fans you guys are. You'd be wrong, but still.

Did Dr Manhattan join the Empire?

Guido I’m tellin ya there are too many, my life has been (in a wonderful way) CRAZY. And people wouldn’t believe half of em anyways, which is fine, because I know them to be true. I used to tell some of the wilder ones and as aforementioned my friends would laugh at me...which is perfectly ok. It’s not their job to believe something they don’t want to, and it ain’t my job to make em believe the truth as I lived it. I’ve shared a few with y’all over the years. ?

Even if just one per day, we'd love to read/hear them. You can even change the names to protect the innocent...

Marty there would be so many that would seem too wild to be true, I’ve told personal friends in the past and they even scoffed at some. I’ll pontificate on it. It’s flattering that y’all want to hear em and I appreciate it, but we’ve all got stories. ?
