2025 marks the 24th year I play DW/PDP drums, also my 24th year with Jive! It’s been my fav drums/hardware company, for both their products/designs AND their commitment to the industry/community. Thankful for everything!
& now, to save up for the MDD/MCD pedals… 😆😝

Throwback to my experience of Ramadan in Beijing, China back in the 90’s. Where we break our fast at 4:30pm (it gets dark by then), & Eid prayers at the Indonesian embassy with Muslims from all over the world! Spent 3 months there.
Bucket list checked!
Eid Mubarak, everyone! 🙏🏼
Focus on 3-4 songs & make them perfect, instead of 12-15 half-a**ed songs.
It’s never the quantity, but the quality. Always. Plus, there’s the fact that some of y’all are not on time. 😑
At this age if you still have this kinda mindset, I really dunno what to say… 🙄
YT recommended me a video last night, an interview with one of my fav Malaysian artists: Sarimah Ibrahim & she said something I’ll never forget:
“Back then, people go to an event to experience/immerse themselves/feel the connection. Nowadays, people go to judge & compare.”
After experiencing our local Ramadan bazaars, y’all can’t even come close to the ones in Australia! They’re bigger, better, AND there’re standees around where people can learn a thing or two about Islam.
The only country I know that comes close is Malaysia.
