Not really 99 but geez, do you want my shoe and waist size too?. How about my height, eye colour, and by the way, it's liberating as a drummer not to have hair, it doesn't get stuck to your face when drumming, and headphones don't slide of your head, anyway, I'll be at the back of the stage obscured by drums and amps, what ya moaning at, ha, ha.

My drumming from original bands I’ve been a member of can be heard bellow.
