EXCELLENT!!!

by Panderson

I've been drumming for about 2 years now and I had heard a lot of classic stuff: John Bonham, Ringo Starr, Neil Peart, Vinnie Colaiuta, etc. But I had heard A LOT of them and I was running out of inspirations. When my drum teacher told me about this Podcast, I was very happy and subscribed right away. I don't regret a thing. I've been listening to drummers that I've never even heard of, and it never gets old. Thanks, Vic Firth!

This is especially cool for me becasue i actually went to the PASIC 2007 convention! its cool to be able to watch these guys solos all over again!! Thanks Vic Firth!! (just as a suggestion, i only see one of Omar Hakims solos, he had an opining solo and a collaboration of different songs put togeather at the end, it owuld be great if you could get both of them.) thanks anyway though!
