Hi folks.

Firstly, thanks to MJS for this superb site which I stumbled across (thankfully) by luck!!

My friends call me Pablo (it's the cleanest knickname I've ever had!!) and I've been playing the tubs for roughly 25 years. Unfortunately, a car accident put paid to my ambitions some years ago. So now, if I play for more than twenty minutes, I'm on my back for a week!!! But I'd rather have twenty minute bursts than nothing at all!!

I've had the good fortune to play with some great local bands here in the West Midlands, England and some really talented musicians.

My first love is rock. I'm from the old school and grew up listening to AC/DC, Marillion, Rush, Whitesnake, Iron Maiden and the like.

My drum heroes are Cozy Powell (RIP), Neil Peart, Ian Moseley, Mickey Barker and Pete Jupp amongst others.

Again, thanks for this great site and I'll be sure to be a regular visitor.

Pablo.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune.. but its great to have you with us on the site..

So it all started when my son got Rock Band last Christmas. At 8 years old within 3 months he was completing all the songs save a few on expert (not perfect). Went down to the local music shop for a test lesson. Almost a year later, he is really getting into it and progressing. Thing is, I sit through all the lessons and have decided, it might be interesting if i learned to play too. I am starting to go through all of his lessons and will ensure we get full value from the kit I have invested in for him. Wish us luck.

By the way the site is awesome and part of my inspiration,, especially the fdrumless tracks. Thanks

Thanks flounderxl - it's always great to hear from people who have been furthered (musically) by the tracks that we make.

Glad to have you on the site - welcome aboard!
