Looks good so far Davy. One thing it needs is the names of the people in the photos, especially the members photos page. It personalises it when you say who is who. A very professional looking band.

Hi john..was only helping out playing bass drum..prefer playing the tenor drum, this is the drum my grandfather played when he was with the argyll and sutherland highlanders ww1/ww2 era..years back it was referred to as playing the feathers..we tie a hoop in cord and fit them to the beaters, this allows us to embellish or flourish. We spin the beaters in various movementpipe major driving us hard this year double, triple flourish. .figure 8, cartwheel...its a very visual bit of drumming....the drum im playing is the largest tenor..tuned to a baritone pitch 1 octave above the bass drum pitch...the guy playing bass is younger than myself. .so save the pity lol..
rick..it is fun but hard work. .practice hard n play easy my moto..its a hobby and should be fun..14yrs on and off and been a tutor since my second year at it..played some great venues..national football stadium for a scotland football match..played fir millionairs and a billionare, was part of a champion of champions grade 4a drum corp..and great days out..have a great pipemajor driving us hard this year.

I'm right there with you... my guitar teacher wants me to play at 110% so that when I'm not feeling good or have an off day, I'm still playing 100%.
Hobbies should be fun -- when they become work or a second job, then it's time to reevaluate.
