I guess I'm old school. Been on since '05 or something like that. Well, on and off. been divorced, cared for my mother for her last year of life...that's depressing - but also met a wonderful girl, got engaged, got reenergized musically with a new band (resonance08 on myspace).

seems like the forum has changes a lot. tyler, u post a lot and that's cool but it is definitely a different vibe. i would like to see the younguns point of view along with the old farts personally.

the forum used to be cookin'! anyone remember barbie-gate? how about the solo contests where we would post audio files?

I definitely remember the solo contest.

That was a blast.

We should do that again (the solo contest).

I also remember Barbie...she was funny. I also miss Rusty.

I need to give him a call too.

Hope you guys don't mind, been reading this thread and this is the same feeling i am getting from the other forum I am active in.

Just wanted to say hi to the old timers, I'm a newbie to this forum, nothin much to contribute I guess, but a lot to learn! Very Happy

i think it would be cool to have some of the olders, but it seems like they dont like too much off topic posts, as alot of newer people do.
i try to keep a good mix of coming on at least one time a day, jus to see whats up but its usually like 2 or 3 times, cause its like my second homepage

What happened to Rusty?? Up until recently I stopped coming here for a long time...but before that I remember almost every other post was from Rusty.

It's a drum dogs reunion! How's it going guys? As you may have guessed, I've been pretty busy lately. I'm moving to the Kansas City area tomorrow, in fact. Since I've been here, I've gone to Antarctica twice, obtained a PhD, published several research papers, did a 2-year postdoc, and got a position as an Assistant Professor of Biology. It's been a busy time to say the least.

I think many of the sentiments already stated in this thread are right on point. After a while, you get too busy to answer the same questions over and over again. At this point, I'd rather just chat with you guys about whatever than talk about which sticks or drum heads to use. It's been great getting to know you all. I'm sure I'll be popping in from time to time, and I'll still post if there's something I want to say.

You guys are great. (Can you feel the love?)
