Drummers
OK, this page has nothing to do with my career – it’s just a way to share how many great drummers I’ve met.
UPDATE I’m probably the last drum fan to catch on, but I just saw Mike Portnoy perform the other day. I have to say that, for me, that may have been one of the most exciting drummer performances I’ve seen since Buddy Rich – but that’s just me……..
Here’s the drumers I can remember meeting;
