@Wolfpack325 Rich: I can play drums with my mouth. what can you do Neil?

[Wolfpack325]

psh neil perts got nothing on me i can do this (random drum movements

[trashbash2001]

this guy has run drum auditions at disney that i've attended many times. Are far as i know, he's still there playing for the Village Beat Nicks at Animal Kingdom. He tends to be slightly Impatient with people, but i nice guy nevertheless.

[mathproof]

He plays just like a Suncoast Sound snare: no power. Plus, he stand crooked.

[Nutsymton]

[TIMRF2575]

Nice tuning on the snare. Perfect sound.

One of my best friends in this lifetime: We marched together in Suncoast/when I left the Triple Bass Drum spot with Future Corps to go be a drumset "dude" John Campese and I called Rich to see if he wanted the gig, and when I went back to school/finished my degree Rich talked me into coming back to be a sub in his band at Animal Kingdom. Heck, I was on the phone with him earlier tonight because he's building a bad ass web site for my indoor group: INFINITY. ANYTHING this guy does he kills it!

[SmartguyN5]

Jeff queen before jeff Queen

[mathproof]

I'm glad that you said that. I was thinking about how I've seen some of rich's licks in solos every since, especial Mr. Queen's solos.

[Russellrks]

I had the priviledge to know Rich when he first got into drum corps with Suncoast Sound in 1983-84. Al Murray took him under his wing and mentored him. It's a pleasure to see the drummer and the man he has blossomed into.

Man, rich was 20 back then. Crazy how mature he was, he has so many great values that he teaches his students beyond drumming. Great man.

[ramsdlo2000]

Dude, whoever this ShaunChaney guy is, he has a grip of the sweetest video in the history of the planet.

[usfsaxman]

Awesome video. Rich is my instructor at USF and I have heard him mention his championship solo, but I had never seen it till this.
