Do not let names and appearances lead you to the wrong conclusions.  In our picture you see Ron in action as a "Drumming Judge" at the Netherlands Pipe Band Association contest.  Yes Ron is a highly qualified and capable drummer, but he is also a recruit to the Piping classes.

     Ron started off "dabbling" in Piping whilst in the Bullionfield Band and was given some pointers by Bob Matthews.  It sort of drifted away, but now he is working hard and his only flaw is when he sneaks a d gracenote into the middle of a "Burl". Where have we heard that before?
