Also how old are you (ball park is fine) . I'm quite curious, you have peaked my interest. the short of it is, when I was a teen, a well connected family friend got me a chance play as a fill in drummer for a big band who's drummer has a pretty hefty drug problem. That turned into me working as a fill in making great money for a couple years. After that I started working as a studio drummer. I would get flown around to record and/or write with bands. I did a lot of drum clinics as well. I still do a bit of touring, but most stay on the coast now. I work for a major label(which owns a bunch of small ones) and now I'm more or less a scout for them. I made a property investment when I was young that really worked out as well. It won't be one of those luxurious retirements. That's for sure. Hahah But I don't need much. My cabin and fishing boat is all I need to be happy. Link to comment
