Ok, back to the subject of Eli. Hitting the cowbell in your ear sounds just like Eli. That's the way he did the Stax Drumline( the performing drumline that performed through the school year)! Now..........Mario Foster is my homeboy! The kid is sick( I'm the kid actually, he's older than me :lol: !). But anyway to answer your question, I went to the summer camp in '03, and would you believe that Mario was the main drummer then to!
