VDF members...
I'll be leaving the cold winds of Canada for Maui next mth.
I'm wondering what's a drummer to do..
There's only so much sun/sights/beaches/horseback/whales/drinks,
I can take...!
I'll need Live jams...and hopefully Open mic's or even sit in for a grp.
*bringing a practice pad & cpl pairs of stxs...lololol...
Any suggestions,updates,info...Il be on the West side of Maui....

Bop iT / Til U Drop iT.Jeez, I'm so sorry to hear of your stressful holiday coming up! I'm not far from you in Canada and can't for the life of me figure out why you'd want to ever leave this vacation paradise. I really think you should cancel! Who needs sun, sand and those little drinks with umbrellas? Who in his right mind would give up snow, wind and cold temperatures for this craziness!? Please think this over!

P.S. I'm off to Mexico in January.
Don't forget to try the Maui Wowee! Then it won't matter what you're doing... :p
Safe travels...

While it's not all that difficult to find impromptu musical performances in Hawaii, they're usually traditional Hawaiian music with slack-key guitar and ukulele. I recommend seeking those out even if there's not usually much call for percussion, although there may occasionally be some congas and shakers as there were at a jam I attended last week on the Big Island.
I haven't seen that many rock-type jams in the Islands, and I've sought them out.
Some of the hotels on the west side of Maui might have Hawaiian entertainment and you might also find some more drumset-oriented music in Lahaina. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS recently opened one of their Rock 'n' Brews restaurants in Paia and they might have bands. http://www.rockandbrews.com/paia/
Here's a place to start: http://www.gohawaii.com/maui
You didn't ask, but I'm going to give you some dining recommendations: You'll have to drive by here to get to Lahaina and Ka'anapali, but you mustn't miss Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop. http://www.leodas.com/. If you like fresh fish, there aren't too many places where you can go wrong, but you'll save a ton of money if you visit the Paia Fish Market (http://www.paiafishmarket.com/) instead of Mama's Seafood House. Mama's isn't bad, it's just very expensive.
Have a good trip. PM me if you want more recommendations, I edit the AAA magazine for Hawaii.
