Hi my name is Andrew and tough luck I brought my lunch today
But anyways this is my introduction, I'm the new kid. I am new to this forum but I have been playing drums in the same band for 12 years since I was 9. I have a 1965 Ludwig silver sparkle 4-piece kit and every one of my cymbals is a different brand and some of them have chunks cut out of them. I also have a 5-piece kit, Bonham setup but smaller, that I made myself out of Keller shells when I was like 16. Ludwig made way better drums than I did though so now I use the kit I built as a silent drum kit in my room. I also have five snare drums, all of which I picked up for under $100 on Craigslist. I use Tama hardware and hate DW with a fiery passion. Also, I like drum machines.
I like all kinds of music, in particular I like what you'd call indie hip music like everyone playing Coachella, except not dubstep. I'm picky but I'm open minded and chances are we could find a band we both liked unless you listen to exclusively smooth jazz, but even then we could still probably agree that Dave Brubeck is top notch.
I have been playing shows and touring in my parents' minivan since high school, mostly up and down the west coast of the United States. I have also recorded a lot, both as engineer and as drummer. A good friend of mine works at a top-tier recording studio and we do overnight studio lockouts, playing for hours with Neumanns and C414s and a Neve console from the '60s. Here's a video of my band.
I like writing and reading. Right now I am reading Lolita, and I already read it but after forcing my way through Infinite Jest I am able to appreciate the linguistic flourishes and clever euphemisms that I missed the first time through. I also like crafting things. Right now I'm making a strandbeest, look up Theo Jansen if you haven't heard of em they're awesome. I also like space, and spend hours looking up stuff about astrophysics and cosmology on wikipedia. I am not gay but my sister is. I don't like working on cars but I do it anyway because I also don't like paying someone else to work on my car. I like photography and I'm pretty good, but I think a lot of people are pretty good so my taste probably isn't very refined. I don't have any pets but I do own a succulent.
And really I can't think of anything else vaguely interesting to tell. I have pictures of a lot of the things I described, but I don't feel like putting em all up, so I'm just attaching this one, it's my silent drum kit set up in my room.
thanks for listening, with your eyes

Believe me, coming from an old man that doesn't like any music after the 70's, that is a HUGE compliment
