No drum roll, please

Terry Chesson and David Blakeley drove a van full of NMA gear from Virginia Beach to San Antonio.

Their advice for anyone who takes a 1,600 mile trip in a vehicle packed tight with drums, pianos, amplifiers, basses, music stands, lights and cartons of reunion gear: somewhere in that rat's nest, probably buried at the bottom, is a snare drum. Before turning on the ignition, turn off the snares. If you don't, they will rattle and roll, mile after mile, day after day.

Terry and David look a bit frazzled today. They've just driven halfway across the country in a permanent buzz roll.
