I'm extremely satisfied with the set as a whole but the second dvd is the thing that makes ...

In terms of a Drummer Talk message boards, I think if a large demand is there, it’d be a good idea. I personally think it’d be a good idea. Maybe just a small board with one or two sub forums for starters and go from there.
Thanks for letting us 1st years hang out for the podcast yesterday! I know I had a good time. I’ll work on my mic placement for any future appearances.
The boards are now online! Click on “Message Boards” on the dk.com home page or just go to http://www.davekropf.com/boards .
