[edit] Personnel Change
Roger Heymans left The Downside due to health and musical reasons. His drumming style was more of a rock drummer and clashed slightly with the bands musical style. Craig Carroll auditioned shortly after and was given the drumming position, and it was felt his style was much more inline in what The Downside was looking for in terms of tempo, feel and style. He remained with The Downside until the band split in early 2001. Roger got married and continued to play drums and is making a rather good living from it.
