What started as a night of going to see “Spinal Tap” on the big screen for the first time turned into something of a bad dream…

On July 6th, 2025, central NC was hit by a gargantuan amount of rain from Tropical Depression Chantal, resulting in mass flash flooding, damage to businesses, and flood damage to vehicles. Sadly, my car did not survive the flood…

My car has helped maintain not only getting to work (School Of Rock-Chapel Hill), but also my outside professional drumming life. Drummers tend to have “the most baggage” when it comes to gear, and lack of wheels puts a real dent in our musical commitments/projects/gigs… which can also affect bills/rent/etc.

I’ve never done anything like this, but I’m putting a lot of faith in the universe/my friends/family to help me raise $10k for a replacement car. Any amount will help. Please share with your fellow drummers/musicians and help out a friend/teacher.

Much Thanks

Rob DiMauro
