Additional info about myself: To live up to my dreams on music, I played guitars instead. I started with a very cheap RJ shark. Few years later I was able to procure a Hamer Slamer Series. Geared it up with a peavey amp, Zoom 1010 and later on Zoom GFX-8. Tried to be in some bands and do some gigs. I'm happy with it but it seems not enough. Few months ago, I was offered to be a drummer by a colleague for a presentation. To my surprise, I could hit those skins. An that triggered the fulfillment of a childhood dream. Last month my brother bought me a Pearl Forum Drum Kit and i was very happy with it. I hope this would be the start of something big.
