    I just thought I would put this one out there for the high rollers. Not sure what you would want in exchange for this dough. For now let's just say the reward for this donation would be a quarter page in the magazine to say whatever you please. You could profess your love and admiration to a specific drummer, draw a drawing, or simply write a poem that will appear in the magazine. Up to you my friend.
