I started playing drums when I was around 11. My older cousin Kevin played and one day when we went for a visit I heard this banging and my aunt said “That’s Kevin, go down and see”. So did and the rest is history! I wanted to do that!
My avatar photo is an old photo of me from the early 80’s. The long hair is long gone and now short and gray! It was my 11 piece Pearl drum kit. 8 concert toms, a 22” bass drum and 18” floor tom. Cymbals were all Zildjians. I was in and out of a few garage bands but eventually quit my last band because they were more interested in smoking pot than rehearsing and I eventually got fed up and said goodbye.
I miss those drums. What a lot of fun!
I also learned how to play rhythm guitar in the mid 70’s and still play for my own enjoyment. I’m O.K. at it but not great.

It’s an absolute tie! Love them both. They really make me wish I was 27 again. Such lovely and talented young ladies.

Hey congrats Bill! I have to order me a hoodie as well. It’s been a which I placed an order except for the Why album. Good for you!

Oh the Beatles in their early days for sure! Also The Carpenters so I could see Karen singing with that unmatched female voice in person. Man I had such a crush on her growing up as a kid.

These scams appear on nearly every video on Youtube. Just report them and move on. I see them all the time sadly. The content creators try to have them removed right away and sometimes it takes awhile.

I’ve got quite the MLT pick collection over the past 4 years. I bought the pick set and then the ones they send as a free surprise with orders! They are way too nice to use, I use my regular picks instead.

So very sad, what a great unique voice too. I always really liked her songs. RIP Christine…

I was searching Youtube for Beatles videos back in “June”(!) of 2018 and came across one of their videos. I was instantly hooked! When the MLT Club started I signed up immediately! Those girls helped me through some rough medical issues in the past 4 years since.

Got my copy of Why? yesterday! Man the girls went in some new directions! My favorite tracks so far are, “Pretty little thing” (an ode to Neve!), Make Show, Questionable, I bought myself a politician, Summer rain. I was hoping for a few rockers but maybe next album! And as usual they included a few extras with the order, nice touch!
Well done Mona & Lisa and team MLT!

She was an AMAZING drummer and of course IMHO the greatest female vocalist of all time. There are some really great videos on youtube of her playing. Worth checking out for sure! What a horrible loss for the world.

Hi Jurgen,
I practiced at home. At first cobbling together drums from different sets. We weren’t rich so I had to make do with what I could get. My cousin never really taught me how to play, I had to learn on my own. This was around 1969/1970. You would think Ringo would be one of my early influences but he wasn’t. It was actually Karen Carpenter. I had a MAJOR crush on her back then and the fact that she played drums just made her more amazing to me.
I played rock/hard rock back in the day. Same stuff I like to play now on guitar. I still love 60’s and 70’s rock the best. I never cared for 80’s through today’s music. Except for our Twins’ music of course!
