in the many years as part of PFF, this is my first post. Any drummers out there. If so do you play professionally ?

I mess around with percussion a little bit, just as a hobby.





Tell us what you do. What genre? What instruments?

I've been drumming since I was 10 and I'm now 49. I've tried out for Queensryche back in the day when they lost their drummer, played with Journey in the studio back when they were exclusively in the Bay Area, played 2 seasons with the San Francisco Symphony, and played with Stanford University during their championship games. More recently, jammed with Ed Oates who co-founded Oracle.

When Steve Perry came back in 2018, I was trying to join his group but he is so "hidden" from everyone that even my agent couldn't contact him.

Unfortunately the real drumming gem on this forum was Doni Hagan who is a member on here but hasn't posted in a long time. HIS resume is amazing.

This is Doni in his studio. Note the gold and platinum awards on the wall:

It took me a while to wrap my head around that also. I think he means he's never created a THREAD. I've seen him post over in general and tech.

Oh, I know. It was just my subtle way of getting fierofrenzy to re-think his terminology.

Anyone use Pearl Drums? My father was president of Pearl for several years. That's about as close as I will ever be to drums.

Yes, exclusively and I loved them. I used their acoustic sets as well as their DRX-1 electronic set.

Hey Pat.... by 1st post, I mean 1st post on the "off topic " page. So if your not a drummer, get on with it then.

With double bass drumming very prevelent in rock music now a days, especially heavy metal, what do you think are some of the first rock albums to utitize this ? This would go back many years, of course.
