First Post

Hello all, I am now entering the world of blogging. I guess I am suppose to say something smart and witty, well that is not happening today. I am currently on my way back from Arlington Va after burying my daughters husban in Arlington National Cemetary. I plan on keeping up with this blog. I feel like this will be a great place to ask questions, give out tips on heading drums, keep up with current drumming events and whatever else you are suppose to do in blogs.

I am going to be home Sunday afternoon. I have been having a tough time getting orders out for the last 3 weeks due to my son inlaws illness and death. I am expecting to get back to some sort of normacly starting Monday, Jan 7. On wed Jan 9 Sandy (my wife) is leaving for New Zealand for 3 weeks. Hopefully this will not slow me down to much, I expect to get back to my normal shipping of same day to next day for getting goods out.

  1. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your son-in-law. I know I don't know you, but all of my drumbum friends talk about you like a friend. So, I feel like we are sort of acquainted. I can only imagine what a difficult and tumultuous time this is for your family. My son is only fifteen months old. I know how it pains me to see my son hurt. It must be agonizing to console your daugther through her grief. I assume your son-in-law is a veteran. I have a lot of respect for anyone who puts their life on the line for this country. I just wanted to offer my condolences to you and your family. If I can do any thing to give any amount of solace please let me know.
    Lots of love Rob T.
