Nobody plays Ringo like Doug. There's just something about the way Doug connects his stick to the snare that is pure authenticity. He's been with us since the very beginning. We've done a ton of traveling together. He's the drummer you want when you're onstage with a 35 piece orchestra. I loved the way the conductor counted on Doug for tempos. Doug would count in the orchestra. It was heavy.

Doug can swing through any groove. He's got the coolest drum kit ever - an old school set of Ludwigs. Just like Ringos. He even sings like Ringo.

We've had some funny border crossings with him. We've had lots of laughs together. He gets mad when I call him Canadian Rock Royalty but I believe that.
He was one of the true pioneers of Canadian touring and recording. He'll deny that. He's like that.
