      yup. I had to use weights from the weight room to hold my kit in place, off to the right of the vid. We didn't win, a diff band that covered "Thunderstruck" from ACDC won. They weren't as good, but we were black sheep at our high school. Most people didn't even know how to react, let alone what we were playing. If you notice it's dead silent as he nails that solo. That guitar player and I covered Rush songs for fun at 16. The rest of the band only knew Metallica. I was playing single kick with all mismatched drums and cracked cymbals. ;) Thanks for reminding me that I'm 40. I still play and am better than I've ever been. - #theDrummerInThisVid
