| _____________________________________________ [Jan 25,2006 4:41pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I don't think he placed first of all time, just for this year's competition. Wasn't that old Annihilator drummer the record-holder? Also, there are multiple contests like this each year, aren't there? |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 25,2006 4:47pm - the_reverend ""] what? do you think these companies are made of drum kits? |
