All my friends. I hold them in the highest respect. Thank you for always being there for me. My parents: Even though I brought 'em through hell, they still support me. Also, Dave Sweet for his years and years of teaching me. I'd be nowhere without him. And of course, every drummer that has inspired me throughout the ages.
About me: My name is Tom Pike. I play drum set as well as a variety of percussion instruments. I am currently the drummer of the progressive-rock power trio LOGOS.

8/22/2009 7:00 PM at Fubar 3108 Locust, St Louis, Missouri 63101 Cost: $8
This is going to be a great night. The show starts at 5:00. We'll go on later around 7:00 maybe. We won't know until the show date exactly what order the bands will play. There will be a lot of great bands to see and we'll be there too. Tell the door guy at the Fubar that you are there at our invitation (or we don't get credit for bringing friends which is the name of the game)...
We continue to book shows. The next event will be fun and crazy stuff at Broadway Bistro Zoo on September 12th. Fun and sexy adult entertainment. More info to follow shortly.
yeah. we're still looking for a guitarist and singer. but i am talking to a guy right now who sings and plays guitar so i guess we're going to try him out this week sometime.
I think Wilson is a great musician, but I personally believe he's better off doing his own music in Stiltskin rather than trying to live up to be like Collins or Gabriel. After all, Genesis was formed before Wilson was even born.
