Hi people,
First of all, I'd like to apologise to the readers of this post for whom English is not their first-language. But I have not the time to post a dictionary definition of "influenced"! Go find out before you respond!

For those who's geography ain't too good. Look up where London is because I'm looking for a drummer in LONDON! if you're not from London, pls don't waste our time and post nonsense.

Thank you.

oh. well. since you put it THAT way. maybe I was too hasty to respond.

I can do a mean robert bert, and I'm from London. Steven Shelley though? Not if it involves spectacles.

He's close enough to Nashville. There must be loads of short sighted drummers there. The OP should maybe widen his geographical boundaries.

you mean the cockney?
"The term Cockney has both geographical and linguistic associations. Geographically and culturally, it often refers to working class Londoners, particularly those in the East End".

i found it but he will not play drums just guns.

cockney is actually an area of london where criminals and pete docherty live.

how the hell am I supposed to compete with Hairy Potter?

I spent all afternoon working on a convincing cock-knee accent, and now it's all falling to pieces.

(and by cock-knee, I mean, that's how far mine reaches)

You don't have to be good, you just have to have the personality. Remember D$@! Van D*#% in Mary Poppins? PERSONALITY. Hairy Pothead got nuthin for naithin against you.

Good job Pheonix! Although I'm sure he already turned his back to SYG in his search for a drummer, thanks to all of these JERKS WASTING HIS TIME.

It's not that we don't care OP, it's just that most of don't have a satisfying answer for you, so we have to say something, cause we don't like awkward silences 'round here.

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE

I care that somewhere, in a darkened pub in jolly ol' LONDON, some poor drummer is being forced to work with such total pricks (just to pay his beer tab).

meanwhile, frontmen (who put the GL in GL-JC) are strutting around telling complete strangers what they can and cannot do.

fuck that shit. I'm trashing the stage and taking Hairy Potter with me.

c'mon Hairy. we're leaving.

I am completely failing at both reading comprehension and typing today.

suicide is my only recourse.

at least, it would be if I wasn't having such a good day; a good day playing the drums like Steve ShellEy with a cock-knee accent.

[edit]I've thought about it some more, and I truly think that my problem today is happiness. typically, I'm not afflicted by it, but money seems to be raining from the sky today. I hope this helps...blah..blah...blah. I'll see you next year.[/edit]
