Nice to see you aboard Mark, but could you please refrain from posting your add/banner in every post, and especially when it's not in any real connection with what you're answering to.
Your signature under the "--------" line, is acceptable but the banner isn't.
We have a pretty firm policy towards spam/unrequested advertisements in here. It's not that we want to prevent others from telling about who they are and what they do, but the general idea of these forums are On Topic discussion (sometimes also off topic when called for) but when the first post from a new poster is an add for his/her company or affiliate it usually gets deleted on sight.
You're welcome to post anything you want (debate-wise) here, but advertisements which are not an integral part of an ongoing discussion in here are not.
So with that said... what's "shakin'" in the world of percussion these days?
Best regards,
Thomas
