As you can see on the Official page here, Roel has departed the band.
Favorite Roel Kuiper memories, I have a few:
Celtic Fling was so funny, as he told many bad jokes and sat and talked with us before the show. When he was the 'low rider drummer' at Border's and of course, the panties as earrings at Temple. The patent leather kilt at Celtic Classic. The Vegas pants.
My most favorite memory, however, is Roel's way of randomly launching into Lady Marmelade, whenever the mood struck.
Such a funny guy, and an amazingly talented drummer. I cannot put into words the depth of his talent. He brought so much to the band, I shall miss him. Bye, Roel. Best of luck to you.
