    Thanks all D/A and Flickr are my main 2 sites. Its mostly cause I make long winded tv style episodes, which is why this attracted me to this hobby back on 09...

    My hat's off to you Bovan.

    I think people forget what a big number 1 million is. It would take about 2 weeks to count to a million, if you did it 24/7 and didn't sleep.

    227 are better than 0 smiley

    Congrats. I have 0 views at Deviant Art...can be because I have no gallery there laugh

  • BobvanBobvan Posts: 2,653

    Fair enough it was a free gallery when I started out.

               Actually those are Roland V pads. I have DW accoustic kit and Roland TD 30 V kit. This is both combined mini Neilish set up. He is one of my faves for sure. This is one of the few recordings I have online its from a show I filled in for last summer. Its Neil influenced but I think its more combined with Bill Ward.. https://soundcloud.com/bobvan-1/drum-solo?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=facebook&fb_ref=Default

    when people ask most underrated guitarist I say Alex Lifeson, when they ask most underrated drummer I say Bill Ward. I'll check out your link when I'm home but I've always wanted to do side A of 2112 as a Sabbath offering. Oh Lawd Yeah!

    Its a solo. Its got Neil influences but im more of a groove oriented player then a technical one. Solid meter from playing along with metronome and songs on the v kit in my condo. At almost 54 the rock star dream has pretty well sailed away but love playing. I can play the overture. The middle parts of Tom Sawyer and yyz..I jam along with their tunes Animate & Roll the bones are a fun ones to play. I am In Van BC Canada so Sabbath was postponed last week..
