Hi all,
Thought it'd be a good idea to get on this forum as I've recently got back into drumming after a 10year hiatus: moved from Wales to Oklahoma City and had to sell both my acoustic and electronic kits.
I'm 44, have been playing since I was 18 (aside from that 10 years off) and prefer to kick it to metal/alternative tunes, though I'm not limited to that genre at all. I love playing along to electronica and dance tunes too; anything that gets my toes tapping! Drummer influences would be: John Stanier (Helmet), Mike Bordin (FNM), Igor Cavalera (Sepultura), Jason Bowld (Pitchshifter), Charlie Benante (Anthrax) and many more.
I picked up a DM8 Pro back in March and have been having a wild time with it. Some issues with the kick pad but Alesis have replaced it twice, most recently with the DM8 USB kick pad that I hope is going to be more durable than the Pro.
Anyways, thought I'd give everyone a wave, introduce myself and hope to be chiming in on topics soon!
Cheers
