<div><br>I tune at the local University (University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse). About 2 months ago I was called to do a concert tuning for a jazz group that was playing a benefit at the school. I arrived at 8 and was almost finished when they arrived and began setting up. They were quite respectful and quiet and I use earplugs so it really wasn't a problem. It was a student group and I noticed the drummer bore a striking resemblance to the main character in Zits. He had the slow moving, economy of movement, yet seemed to have extra long arms and legs that kind of stuck out at odd angles. </div>
<div>I had some time so I stayed and listened a little to their rehearsal. I watched this kid and he had that effortless look you see in a good drummer, kept good time, wasn't flashy just always spot on with a cymbal or tom when approriate. He seemed to just kind of sag/melt onto the drum throne again very reminiscent of the teenager in Zits.</div>
