@ hope4. Lester told the Pillar guys he wouldn't be there forever. It was his time to move on. He also has a family to provide for and he now makes a significantly larger income playing for Neil McCoy than with Pillar. He has also played on many independent projects and does have his own studio, "Off the Wall" studios to record and produce other bands in as well. Nothing bad within the group, just time to move on.
Yeah thats a risen Snare,Its his signature one.And He uses all
Risen and Kansas City Drum Company snare drums...his kits are all Risen Kits.And No company would let,him pay $1000 for a snare....he's endorsed with the companies!
He's leaving because his wife is pregnant with their third child...so he figured it was a good time to stay home with the "fam" and take care of the kids...
I know lol I was just kidding:P And on the other video where I said you weren't endorsed because I didn't see your name, sorry. I ended up finding your name after all lol How did you go about getting endorsed? Do you have any videos of you playing?
I play for church's and different events! And I'm a sound engineer,so I'm around alot of music and stuff! I sent them a video of me playing for this one church....we were killin...lol and they loved it and keith offered me a deal! I love playing worship music,and In the future I can't wait till I play with a full time touring band!
I get payed here and there to play and run sound! but full time right now I have pc repair business!
just goes to show that you dont need a huge rediculous set up to do a cool solo
