My Story

Mark with drums

I’m a retired IT geek turned hobbyist drummer—talent’s never stopped me from pounding the skins! “Count Me In” is my passion project, a supper club to unite drummers and keep the beat alive. Drums hooked me young—watching Buddy Rich slay it on Johnny Carson lit the spark. Karen Carpenter? No slouch behind the kit. Then Zeppelin’s Bonzo hit me like a Mack truck—pure power! And if my hat doesn’t scream it, I’m a die-hard Rush fan—can’t play like Neil, but I worship every fill. Join us some night—I’d love to break some bread and get to know you!

Next Gathering on Tuesday Night!

Mark your calendar: 7:30 PM June 3, 2025 El Tepache, 1210 Thompson Bridge Rd., Gainesville, GA

We have exciting news! Brian Scoggin, former drummer for Casting Crowns, will soon be joining us for dinner as a special guest. Yeah, you kinda have to come if you want to meet him, LOL.

As always, a big shout out to Let There Be Rock Schools over on Main Street. Kyle, Rodney, Sabrina, and John are awesome folks and have a great love for music and teaching others to play. Talent seeps out of the walls there. Stop by and check them out.

Join the Gathering!
