I'm a proud drummer because: I get to play as crazy as Kieth "moon the loon" while getting paid for it!

Additional info about myself: I started out playing the guitars because that's where the chicks are. You can't bring a drum kit to school and even if you were able to, how in the world were you gonna play "the day you said goodnight" to chicks with them understanding or knowing that it was "the day you said goodnight". Then in college, my dormates and I got together and thought of forming a band. I got to be the drummer because there were better guitarists than me and if I wanted in the band, it was either through a drumkit or be a roadie.

Later on, it got pretty serious.

So now, i plan to be the greatest and best trick drummer of the Philippines. I can juggle and flip the drumsticks while playing songs. Why a trick drummer? Well, I very well know that I will never in this lifetime be as good or even better as Sir Mar Dizon.hehehe

FOR ME IT'S ALL ABOUT ON EARS, SO CALLED "TENGA TENGA LANG LABANAN, MARUNONG KA NGANG MGDRUMS, MAGSULAT AT MAGBASA NG NOTES PERO DI MO NAMAN MASABAYAN, ANO PANG SILBI DB?!" (SORRY SA MGA NATAMAAN HA, I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT YOU GUYS, SO DON'T BE OFFENDED) OPINION OR IT COULD BE THE TRUTH BEYOND OUR DRUMMING EXPERIENCES AND SKILLS.
I AGREE ON THE PAST THREADS, DRUMMING IS A GIFT FROM OUR BELOVED LORD JESUS CHRIST! SO WE NEED TO PROTECT, EXPLORE, DISCOVER, ENHANCE AND SHARE.

Drumming Motto:

DRUMMING TIL DROP!!!
DRUM        ALL YOU CAN!!!
