A good friend of mine lost the end of his finger using one of these. He went on to become a drummer. :drool5:

Did he not fancy being a proper musician then?
Tony Iommi managed after losing the ends of two and Django Reinhardt only had three fingers. They did ok

Well, I have to say he was/is a very good drummer and still doing the rounds. He has a good pedigree and is very well known in the drumming world; I don't think the lack of finger has held him back......:smilewinkgrin:

Aye but howay hinny...He's a drummer.
It's not like he's a proper musician

A bit like me. I have a piano and had lessons for about 5 years until I found boys more interesting. :ihih: Geordie tells me I won't be seen as a musician until I can play "Whole lotta shakin"..........:rockon2:
