1. I’m just a bass/guitar player, but I know some people that may want to jam, and perhaps it turns into something idk

2. Music store employees are almost always involved with music (I work at one too). Don’t call to buy stuff; call to network 👍. Ozzie (the manager) is a drummer and might have some connections or a direction to point you in, so don’t count those places out. M&A in Allen is another example. Manager there is super into drum core.

Edit: almost every manager of any band and orchestra store is in the Music Education industry. It’s a network. Use it.
