djarrett Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 Actually, (as I said last time this surfaced) I know Chris. He is a free-lance out of N.Y. We did a feature story on him at MusicPlayer about a year ago when he did the Deborah Harry gig. He is a great guy. I do not view this type of post as a spam. I think we should all flaunt our successes and even share our failures, etc. Just my thoughts. You go Chris. DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiNNY MulLIGan Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 i was just joking and didn't mean any harm...anyone who played with many of the people mentioned and accomplished what was mentioned must be able to play...but, and this is just my opinion,it's one thing to flaunt our successes and share projects we were involved in...but this just came off kind of "cheap" for someone who is that "established" to be looking for a gig this way...maybe i'm missing what one of the purposes of this kind of forum is, but i just can' see Anton Fig or Conan O'brien's drummer (his name escapes me right now) posting a list of all they've done and asking for work...just my opinion, and, like i said, no harm meant...he certainly has done a lot more than i have, it just didn't seem too "professional" to me...thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djarrett Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Hey, Rammer24: I sure no offence was taken. I just wanted to clarify that this was not being taken as spamming to the forum. I want all the members to let us know about successes, failures, need to work, etc. Max Wienburg is Conan's drummer by the way. Great drummer! Thanks for your clarification!

Drumlooney Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Max Wienburg was also the drummer for the E-Street band. Chris, keep playing, I know how competitive NYC is for us drummers, those who are not here can't relate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
