Nice! I just use the headband for keeping the headphones on... Im not one of those people who just rock headbands all the time- thats a little too hippy / Royal Tennenbaum for me...
Thanks for meeting us. It was great to see you and a special kind of joy to introduce you to my three men. And you are very welcome for breakfast. The next time you come- I will cook for you.
We need to create a new rock drumming dynasty like Carmine and Vinny Appice. Since you are older, you get the modern day Vanilla Fudge and Cactus- I get Dio and Sabbath! I win!
