hello fellow drummers,

it has been a long time since Sg Drummer's Circle last held a drum Exchange. To fill some of you in on the history, we used to hold drum exchanges quite often 3 years ago, usually with one of the more senior drummers being more of a mentor and teacher. The objective of the Exchange is like any other: to share ideas, techniques, how-to of drumming.

It has not been held regularly for awhile, some drummers have had increased work/family commitments, a couple have gone overseas to study.. but the the spirit is positive and we're all looking forward to catch up with each other and also to welcome more new drummers into the fold.

if you guys are interested to come join in the exchange, please kindly let me know and i'll coordinate with the rest, everyone is welcome the more the merrier!

the tentative date for the exchange is 29 oct, in the afternoon before simon phillips clinic (since its at 5pm, perhaps the exchange can be held from 2-4pm)

tentative venue if turnout is less (6-7 pple tops) is drum resource (nigel's place) and boon's new studio if there is enough people. The rates for boon new studio is $30 an hour, $50 for 2 hours. If we have 12 people coming, each one need only chip in $4.

warm regards and hope to see more fellow drummers there!

yay okay thanks plainsman! I'll seriously benefit just from listening and watching to you guys man. you might have to explain a lotta stuff to me but I'll try to keep up. it's like hanging at Nigel's place for one afternoon and learning sooo much. way cool.
 
oh my.. too bad that i can't attend the gathering this time round as i have a church workshop to go to.. man, enjoy urselves guys! i really want to join u guys!!!
 
hey plainsman, im intrested in joining ur group of drummers ^ ^ i am getting serious abt drum these dae and really feel like learning...do let me kno if there is any gathering ^ ^

Thank you!
 
Wow I'm interested man. Ah pek was one hell of a drummer the last time I saw him. I can't wait to see how much better he's got... kinda scary to think about it.
 
aiyo, why the afternoon of the Simon Phillips clinic!?!?

Hmmm.. decision time...

Drum Xchange, or hang out with Simon at his soundcheck.,,,??
