My Top 18 Drummers List

“My” Top 10 turned into 18+ Drummers List and I still don’t have it right…. except for the top 4!

I played from age 10 to 41 before ALS forced me to quit. One of the hardest things ever for me to lose! More than driving, skiing or sometimes even speech. First I played trashcans and buckets in 1975. Then, I had a 1977 red sparkle set and later Pearl, Tama, Paiste and Zildjian kit which expanded to 5 cymbals and 6 drums over the years through 1989. Then in 2005, I bought a Roland V-Drum TD-20 kit. My son has now been playing for 7 years using acoustics, but mainly the electronic set. He’s playing to music with headphones on just like I did 30+ yrs ago…
