Hi John,
Wow did not realize that we need so many types of drums just to make music. Personally, I just know how to enjoy music but it seems like there is a lot involved here..I would not know a thing about this but I am sure to someone who have knowledge of drums would really find it very useful . Thanks for the information…
I will pass on the kind words to Adrian, and you are most welcome.
Kevin,
I took care of the links, thanks for pointing that out. 🙂
