Yeah I totally laughed when I read that. I appreciate the kind words Pat, and I totally think that if I can climb and train hard enough, whats to stop me from getting there?

Now, the difference between ODH and me is that if he asked me how to be a professsional drummer/musician, I would just turn around and tell him what he needs to do and how to do it, not be a smart arse about it either. I would probably say it'll take you years and years of practise and training and playing "shit" gigs on your mates drum kit, but eventually with the right guidance and determination, you'll be able to do what you want to do.
