I hardly see where the post could be seen that way... ? Sorry if you 
felt that way.
I shall try to elucidate upon my previous statement so as not to 
exasperate your umbrageous nature.   =)

I was merely saying that Boomer should just go out and experiment with 
what is out there in the forest. I used to run a drum shop and we would 
constantly get people of all ages coming in trying to duplicate some 
famous guy's gear, as if to somehow be like the artist in question and 
in turn, play like he or she...
 In other words, ignore what everyone else says, you reall have to find 
out for yourself Boomer...  Phil Collins used to hack off the bottom 
inch or so of his sticks to make them feel right to him (before his own 
model came out).. Peart holds his sticks pretty high up... Copeland uses 
traditional grip.. this all works for them, all is fair game!

As so was I. And I don't dissaprove of your choices or suggestions. And 
we shouldn't be so humble.. WE ARE DRUMMERS, DARN IT!  =)
