Ok, now for the dirt...what's your most embarrassing moment (I mean memorable) as a drummer?
"My most embarrassing experience was with the first band I ever played with. We packed up and drove over three hours to this gig. It was supposed to be an outside event, but it was just too cold, so they moved it inside. After all the changes, it was over an hour after arriving before we started to set up.
