Looks like Drew is doing well, wonder if he still plays. Does anyone know when the movie will be out?

On DVD? If so, where can I get a copy?

They hope to have it complete for some sort of theatrical release - so it is ready for the Sundance film festival - by September 2008.
It probably won't be on DVD for at least a year after that.

Drew was hardly an average drummer. Remember who was speaking it was Kevin DuBrow and those two hated each other. Drew was on par with Alex Van Halen easy. Just on basic rudiments alone he played snare in marching band and he was in the jazz band. Randy asked for Drew to be in the band. Drew was going to UCLA at the time. But he took the gig. Kelly Garni had to be carried by Randy and Drew for one he never took the instrument seriously and spent more time trying to get laid and snorting cocaine than he did practice his craft. DuBrow was in the band due to his family money and he knew people. It wasn't because of his stellar vocal ability. Don't kid yourself. Also DuBrow has revisionist history. He said Drew was a bad drummer yet he took Drew into DuBrow until they had their fatal final argument. Drew would've played on the Metal Health album had certain events not happened. But it was Kevins record deal and he fucked Drew over. Sadly it wasn't the first or last time it happened.
If you want to hear Drew's drumming post QR post a site where I can upload a cd or two. I have plenty of material.
Drew I would bet is a millionaire. He made a killing in the real estate buisness and he does sounds for artists worldwide. He still plays drums but not actively anymore. He is a great drummer and teacher and I am proud to call him my friend.
Drew didn't get along with Kelly because Kelly didn't take things seriously as seen in that ten part interview. Kelly had zero motivation and was only in the band to get laid and party. So you had two above average musicians and two whatevers.
But remember Van Halen had a good looking frontman who mirrored Jim Dandy except Dave had teeth.
One drummer in those videos that Drew played like. Cozy Powell, that speaks for itself. Cozy like Drew was a rudimental drummer and just had that groove. Robert Sweet is a good showman but not an amazing drummer, same for Tommy Lee. Though Tommy is the only real talent in the band besides Bob Deal aka Mick Mars.
Why didn't you put a Lee Kerslake video up there ?
Guess you didn't want to have the guy who played the real tracks on those two albums on here. You wanted to have a hired gun in the likes of Tommy Aldridge.
Alex Van Halen has notorious time keeping problems live as does Aldridge the best two out of that lost besides Drew are Peart and Powell.
You should've put some real drummers in there man, like Billy Cobham or Steve Smith or even Terry Bozzio. Hell Rod Morgenstein can smoke all of them. Nicko McBrain is another one that wipes that whole lot.
So yea
Peart
Cozy
Drew
Tommy gets credit for being a very gracious and nice guy when they rehearsed at Mates when Rudy was in project driver. Tommy was very cool and spent time showing me a few things on the drum kit. Rudy was top shelf as always and is a great human being.

I imagine that Dutch wanted to infuriate you...or better yet, has a huge vendetta against Lee Kerslake.
