    Ssshh..but who here is first and foremost a drummer?

    Well, the reason I started playing in the band aeons ago ( I'm not in a band anymore) was me constantly tapping with hands and feet to music, metal genre that is. So they asked me to join a band that neither of us had any instruments and no ability to play an instrument. My addiction to Maiden made it clear I'm a bass player. So never played drums in a band ,only on occasional practising sessions and during  sound checks. This week , fast forward 30 plus years I bought my first drum kit, none of that electronic nonsense ( sure they sound  great), the proper old school drum kit. Eventually , I'd like to give ez drummer some rest and play all instruments in  songs I record myself.

    If they were able to back the album up with with some live dates I think this would be create more interest... unfortunately we are where we are.

     

    I note Mr Smith is a keen angler, so he's now been elevated to my 'top favouritist' musicians list of all time.

    In early days he used to carry maggots on a tour bus

    I would recommend reading his autobiography Monsters of River and Rock.

    Lots of early days guitar, angling and other material.

    I love his first Asap , silver and gold. Singing is very unique. Also palying on Bruce Dickinson's solo albums guitar work with Roy Z is too work.

    Thomann post Brexit?

    I have seen a UPS driver before outside our and neighbour's house looking confused. The street is clearly marked so are the houses. He had a parcel in his hand ,he then took a picture of the neighbour's house and left. I came out in attempt to ask if he was looking for and address, as I opened the door he's gone. Neither me or my neighbour expected a delivery that day. Royal mail is no different, I waited all morning for a parcel, they put a note through the door without ringing the bell or knocking the door. I phoned their head office as soon as Pat was driving off. They delivered......the following day.

    Back to Thomann topic, I bought stuff from them on a couple of occasion and the delivery and service was just like clockwork. Shame as they have now probably lost UK customer base.

    I have been eyeing up an instrument at Thomann that would save me £60 or more in comparison to UK prices. BUT looking at this thread, I'd be spending hours on the phone, paying extra for custom clearance and so on. So not really worth the hassle.

    You go and see a favourite artist live and come away seriously disappointed.

    I have never been disappointed to see Maiden.

    About two years ago I went to see Testament at Koko in Camden. Annihilator and some other band were opening for them. 

    I was a bit disappointed with Testament, the bass player had some technical issues and was making it obvious. Well at least I noticed. 

    But Annihilator was just amazing , so underrated and Jeff Waters is one of the most committed musicians. I used to listen to them in my early teens then somehow I have forgotten about them. The bass player is awesome, his playing and stage presentation combined is something other players lack. Think he is from Cambridge.

    I was slightly disappointed (not really) with Steve Vai when he blew his amp during a gig🤟 to this day I'm not sure if it was part of the show as I never bothered googling it.
