Not this year -- after last year . . . I had the flu. Played the gig -- stuck it out through some long and fast tunes. Loaded out in the rain. Had to pull over on the side side of the road to throw up multiple times (in the rain). Spent the next three days in bed. So, I'm not complaining about sitti...

Thanks in advance.

I used to rimshot all the time back when I was younger. Hell, I was just plain loud, I think. I thought playing like Kenny Aronoff was what everybody wanted and NEEDED, LOL!
