Bruce Hampton and The Aquarium Rescue Unit' whose guitarist Jimmy Herring went on to play with The Dead, The Allman Bros, and Widespread Panic, and their bassist Oteil Burbridge still plays with The Allman Bros.

Now I mostly drink beer and play my drums in the den.

funny, you can see bar bands with players that have more talent than the biggies out there.
it really all come down to luck, a musician can be super talented but might never get the chance he or she deserves

Yeah, it's a lot tougher than most people think, and most people think it's almost impossible!

Thanks Al.

I just read your first post in your thread today, and see that you used to be a DJ. Did you have a cool DJ name?

Hello PurpleJesus!

As far as I'm concerned, having fun jamming is what it's really all about. I used to play my drums for 8 to 10 hours a day. Now it's usually about 1 or 2 hours about 2 or 3 times a week.

Make new stands yet? Or still rocking out with the paint cans?

To be honest, I haven't even hardly walked into my HT room since I blew my center channel tweeter. I did unhook the blown one, and rehook up my old Polk, but I haven't even turned it on.

I did borrow my friends circular saw a couple of days ago, and I have a good bit of MDF board left over from making my center stand, but probably not enough to make both front stands. I may try to get started on them today.

I hope you'll be more careful in the future ......... If you wish to listen at very high volume, might I suggest investing in a dedicated power amplifier. As blowing speakers generally comes from amplifier clipping (not enough clean power) to the speaker.

I agree with Russ' recommendation for an external power amp.
