Oh, I never quit... just had to stop playing with the band for a bit.

She pretty much felt that our ONE band practice per week, which usually lasted just a few hours anyway, was severely eating into their "family time". But we all knew that she was just a heartless bitch, so it wasn't too hard to accept when he sold his drums.

I played in a few different bands over the past couple of years, but just never really found that harmony with anyone else. The original bass player and I are still seeking out a new drummer who was as skilled as our old one was. (He was a freakin' monster on those Tama's, man.) Still, I practice almost every day, and my son is always right there next to me with a little mini-acoustic in his hands. He's no Dimebag, but he'll be able to say one day that he's been playing guitar since he was three years old! Time will tell...



Pretty much progressive metal, similar in music style to Godsmack, Disturbed, Stone Sour, etc. We went through singers like strings/drum heads. Never had much luck in that area, but I'm trying to get in touch with our last singer right now. He has an almost identical style to All That Remains singer, Phil Labonte, and could really get the attention of a crowd. Man I fucking miss those days. They'll be relived again... just with a new drummer.
"phew".... good thing my girl thinks it's hot I play drums! no worries on having to sell my set...wait, that wouldn't happen anyway lol

That's awesome you still play, even a week off will cause some rusting. Not only that but you play good shit :thumbsup:
I hate when it doesn't work out with ppl, it takes forever to find that sweet spot where you're in the "pocket", (and I know you know what I'm talking about) then to lose a member and have it all fall apart. Same thing happened to me...good old times though...

Singers are hard to come by...good ones that is, same for drummers!
