Yes, it does; I just don't want to ruin the movement whilst playing.

> Do you own a Rolex?I'll tell you Bunny, I accidentally locked my Rolex inside of my Maserati and I seem to have misplaced the keys to the car somewhere on my Lazarra Luxury yacht. Next time I fly the G5 down to Rio De Janeiro where the ship is anchored, I'll look for the keys. I never wear my Rolex while playing anyway. I have an assistant in a Tuxedo who sings out the hour and minute of the day every sixty seconds. Do you have a human clock?LOLJohn

I do have a human clock, but my biological clock stopped working!!!

I sometimes play in a suit, and the watch looks nice.

By the way- I plan on actually gigging the orphan Slingerland kit with '58, '60s-ish floor Tom and a '70s racktom. I plan on covering them in sicskins, mainly 'cos I don't want to do a destructive re-wrap. I plan on using the Marilyn Monroe/Andy Warhol wrap.

Yeah- I'm THAT guy!!!

I wear a big "Flav-a-Flav" gold clock around my neck on a big Gold Chain...except mine has the old style bells on top that I utilize during solos. The chain is also multi-functional, because I can walk my Pitt-bull in the hood on it when not performing. To make sure that this is a Vintage comment, I also replaced the background of the clock with a calfskin (tucked) head & use a couple vintage RK 3-point strainer levers as clock arms!"Fung-Amung iz n' da houzzzz Boyzzzzzzzzzzz!" :p

Classic!!! Those bells could be quite interesting in the Bozzio sense.

Yeah- I'm THAT guy!!!

I lost my watch years ago, while throwing rocks and walking the railroad tracks. I never replaced it.

Great way to lose a watch. Almost poetic.

Guess it was ''time" for it to go... Cool Dude

Haven't had the misfortune of breaking a Rolex *yet*. It's one of the few investments that have never gone down over all of these years!!!!

Which is why I will probably never wear it whilst playing. But it does look nice with a suit.

Drummers are the timekeepers of life, marking time so others may groove. The loss of one is a groove disrupted. The funny thing about time ... there never seems to be enough of it ... unless you have to wait. But it runs out for us all. Then it's too late to reflect back on the choices made and the paths taken. It's at precisely that moment when one finally realizes the full value of time ... and the folly of placing value on that which has no lasting value.

It's a tough thing to watch. Some are broken. Some never break. But all eventually stop marking time. Some are taken by the joyous surprise. Some welcome the reprieve. And still others carry the full weight of time as it closes off with complete surprise.

Whether it's marked with a Rolex or a Timex, it is neither loved nor feared by some. But the other will pay the full price of time misspent.

Deep.

Time is a commodity, for sure. Quality time so much more. Time does become a burden when you're waiting to die, and I hope that doesn't happen to myself or anyone else.

As I say, unless you're Shirley MacLaine, you only live once; which is why I play quality drums and mark time with nice timepieces.

Yeah- I'm THAT guy!!!
