• I totally forgot about the drum off tonight.  I was going to drive up here to work so I could head out to Natick for the evening.  Wow, I can\'t believe I forgot.  I was really planning on going.

  whew! i don\'t know how much more of this i can take.. nine drummers competed tonight. adrian played 8th. he was up against some fierce competition tonight - one guy in particular who gave us all a scare. but adrian did what he had to do. he got on the drums, did his thing, and wowed everyone there.
  
  the \'MC\' of the night would hold up a piece of paper when each drummer had 30 seconds (of their 5 minutes) left. when he held adrian\'s up, adrian kicked it from high gear into red bull adreneline rush rocket fuel gear.. he just let out this enormous yell while he absolutely obliterated the drums, then finished his solo off with the intro to Zeppelin\'s \'Rock And Roll\', with a piece of stick breaking off and flying away as he hit his last beat. the judges were on their feet, and were screaming! for all the other drummers, they showed no reaction at all. they were floored.
  
  adrian came over and said he played the absolute best he possibly could. we were still a bit nervous while the judges were deciding the winner, but in the end, it was adrian on top!
  
  adrian moves onto the regional finals in manhattan, on November 18th. details to follow.
  
  i recorded the entire competition tonight, and i hope to have it available to download for you all by tomorrow night. i\'d do it now, but i gotta be up at 4am.

• We all know how great Adrian is on the drums so I can only imagine how hard he was playing for this competition.
