"One of my high points was being able to play on my new drums at Al's Tourist Lodge thanks to Brian and John.

I ordered a new set of Ludwig Downbeat drums through Joe Boulos who operated a music store in Stephenville.

I had university classes that I couldn't miss the day of our gig so I couldn't pick up the drums.  Brian and John kindly drove to Stephenville (approximately an hour away) in poor weather to get my new Ludwigs!

The boys arrived just in time for us to play at Al's--being new, the drums weren't in perfect tune but I was so thrilled to have such a nice set to play that I didn't care."

Tom is the owner of Bearing Edge Studio based in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.
