About Me
- Darin Soll
- I'm Darin, a semi-pro (big emphasis on the "semi" part) rock/pop drummer. My day job is in the software business, so I have an interest in all things technical. I love playing the drums, but I am also a gearhead and enjoy sharing what I've learned about selecting, upgrading, setting up, and tuning drum gear.
