Hello from a Newb!

Welcome, Robby. Glad you got into the band!

Just wondering, what's your favorite Symphony X album/song (can be hard to choose, hehe)? Other favorite bands, music, interests, etc? I don't mean to bombard you with a bunch of questions, just curious!

Hope you enjoy the forum! Peace! :)

Welcome Robby. Come on and move to Alabama. We need some drummers down here. Obviously from the stupid American Idol thing you can see there is talent here, but man do we have a shortage of quality drummers.
