I took the opportunity to go to an expo on drums and drumming, sponsored by a local drum magazine I haven't heard of before, simply called "Drummer".
I got to check out and play all the new gear I could find. And once I had bumped the kids (and somewhat older kids) off I got to play both the Roland and Yamaha electronic drum kits in succession. I found the Yamaha IV kits almost instantly preferable with the Oat custom kit being a favorite. Also it was £300 cheaper than the Roland compitition. Which proved to be more of a toy with various key functions missing.
I also saw one of the top female drummers Cindy Blackman (Lenny Kravitz, various Jazz acts)
Who was good to see although the question time was, as always just a bit to naff for me.
I didn't unfortunatly get good pictures of this event but here is one I found interesting.
Needless to say that it was promptly ignored.
Sorry to bore you with all this but it had to be done.

Drumming rocks!
Hey dudies we're going to be in Edinburgh for Christmas and Richard is hosting Christmas dinner! Can we tempt you away from the bright lights of London for a whiskey or 2?
Have a great weekend!
