Gergo Borlai vs. The Dunnett Classic 2N

I met Gergo years ago at the Montreal Drum festival. I had never heard of him prior to that. I was photographing the drummers for Modern Drummer magazine and there was a long list of names under the well-known headliners. Gergo Borlai was one of those names and like many others on that list I had never heard of him before. Sometimes - after being to as many drum shows, festivals, clinics and events - you can get a little apathetic about new drummers. I thought I'd pretty much heard everything. I was wrong. I took a few pictures of Gergo and was about to step outside for some air when I stopped in my tracks...and listened. Hmm. I turned and headed back to the stage and watched more. I realized a few things as I watched Gergo's performance...THIS was the guy I heard in my head when I tried to play and no Ronn, you haven't heard everything so sit down and tune in. And I did. By the time Gergo was done performing I did something I rarely do - I went up and introduced myself. He knew who I was (he is always so kind) and now I knew who he was. We became friends immediately and the rest, as they say, is history. If you don't know who Gergo is, you will after you watch this video. Enjoy!

Joomla go Boomla

I (we) are in the process of rebuilding dunnett.com after removing the version that was originally created using Joomla. Joomla is a big, fat, moist invitation for trouble and I got suckered into using it. I expect things will be back to normal within a week or two and I'll gradually start repairing the images. In the interim I'm posting updates on social daily - Facebook, twitter and drumsmith.com!
