Sadly, in 1997, just about two months after I had started drumming, my uncle Kevin Tschirhart, died unexpectedly.  He was a very good drummer, and I had hoped to be able to talk 'drumming' with him someday (he lived several states away).  These are his drums that I'm "playing".  It is quite possible that I might not be drumming today if I had not had that encounter with him so many years ago.
