Is it strange or interesting to find another drummer on the podcast?
We're just multifaceted artists, not just musicians with sticks who like to hit things, ha!
I was intrigued by Roberto Hernandez from the first message he sent me. Perhaps that's because he chose one of the most unique ways to introduce himself.
Instead of the same generic "Hi this is me and let me give you my bio and a zillion links so you'll pay attention to me" in...
