Happy Birthday - Keith Cronin

[Bart Elliott]

Although it's a day early ... his birthday is July 2^nd ...

Today is my wife's birthday, and knowing MY plans for today ... but not knowing what Keith's plans were for the weekend, I wanted to go ahead and post this now ... a day early.


Keith (aka Mister Acrolite), I justed wanted to publicly say THANK YOU for all that you do here at the Drummer Cafe as well as for the entire music industry. You freely give to our community in so many ways, helping members by taking the time to impart your knowledge and experience, and you do it all for the love of the instrument. On behalf of ALL the members here at the Drummer Cafe, both past, present and future, thank you for all the posts, email correspondence and private messages ... plus all the time you've taken to help me moderate this forum.

As my colleague, I appreciate your friendship and wisdom, as well as your comradery and partnership here at the Drummer Cafe.

Thank You!

Turning 47? Honestly you don't look a day over 45.

[Chris Whitten]

Keith -- hope you had an awesome birthday!  Like the others here at the Café, I really appreciate all that you do for this amazing community.  I've learned so much from you over the years here and always look forward to learning more.

So, what did you get for your birthday?   ;) 

[Chris -]

Keith,

Did you get the duo ride?????

[Mister Acrolite]

Keith,

Did you get the duo ride?????

Yes indeedy!  Here's the new addition:



Check out the back side - it has a much larger unlathed area:



It's a great sounding cymbal. Heavier and stiffer than I'd expected, but that might be why it's got such nice definition as a ride. Here's a  http://www.commaboy.com/18_duo_tony_clip.mp3]clip of Tony from cymbalsonly.com playing the cymbal .

All it all, 'twas a groovy birthday - thanks again for all the well-wishing!

[Chris -]

Mr. A,

That's a sweet cymbal! I'm sure it goes quite well with the 20!  8)

[DRWM]

Sorry I'm late, but Happy Birthday Mr. A!  That's a beautiful sounding and looking cymbal.

[smoggrocks]

oooh, you got the cymbal! good, good, good!

best be breakin' out the bling quick! ;D


happy belated... and many moorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre!

[Robyn]

Well I really have been out of the loop--sorry, happy belated. I wanted to put forth my 2 cents about Mr. A's website--the "drum grooves of doom" and "drum licks from hell"  (did I get that right?) pages (and his comments on each of these clips) are really interesting and well done!! Thanks for putting these together! My drum teacher was very impressed w/ those pages, and I've passed the links on to quite a few other people.
If you haven't checked out this site, it's well worth the visit! As an added bonus, you get to see a pic of Mr. A w/ HAIR!  :o Big Hair, even! ;D

Happy Birthday Keith!

I already said that in another thread but - ditto what Bart said.

Every time I read a post whether addressing some faux paux by an errant newcomer or commenting for the umpteenth time on the "what's the best drumset to get?... you do so with excellence.

I also know from seeing you play with Clarence that yer' quite the 'Whammer Jammer' ;D

Nice cymbal! 8)
