Thanks for the add. Love your drumming skills, and I love Dream-TheateR's music.

Also, it is awesome that you re-did "The Number Of The Beast" CD and "To Tame A Land" from Iron Maiden.

I know that DT has been doing a lot of covers from different bands lately. Be awesome if you could do a cover of a RUSH CD. "2112", "Farewell to Kings", "Permenant Waves" CD maybe? It would be so awesome, and it would match DT's sound too.

Just a suggestion. Thanks again.
You're My Wife Now Dave!
