Only a little tardy

Yeah, the fills on the 3 songs on WACF I mentioned, make me wanna see how his kit was configured when they recorded them. Especially that awesome cowbell/tom fill he does after the solo on LOC!

Nice! Getting used stuff definitely can keep the $$ down. I'd also like to get a couple of bigger roto toms to put under the 3 I got, just above my floor tom. I also need to get an 18" floor tom. Funny, it's been years since I played in a band, so I don't actually "need" any of this extra stuff, but it's so damn fun to play new things and have a wide pallette of tones to play with! That's what made Al's kit so awesome on WACF. I wish there were some photos of the band recording that album in the studio, so we could see how he had the kit configured to record songs like Rhyme, LOC, and Fools. Always wonder if in the studio, the kits in the studio were actually similar to the tour kits, particularly WACF and FW, or maybe condensed versions because of space issues. He didn't seem to have a lot of room in the corner of the studio in those VHII studio pics of Zlozower's that we've all seen.

You have a cowbell yet? I have a big rock one to the left of my hats, you couldn't see it in the pic. Those things have gotten expensive too! Think I got mine for like $20 as a kid, seems they're usually over $50 these days. I'd really love to get a Tama Iron Cobra double pedal someday, I'm amazed my double pedal hasn't broke down after all these years.

My double pedal is actually a Ludwig pedal I've had for 20 yrs. When I was pricing Octobans I was amazed at how expensive roto toms are these days. Usually $200 or more! When I got mine 21-22 yrs ago, I'm pretty sure I paid $89 for em. Inflation sucks!

My cymbals are all Zildjan but I've often thought of switching to Paiste. I'd kill for Alex's signature ride!

I'm definitely envious of your new snare!

Hey Nick, cool pic of your kit. I finally posted a pic of my kit in my photo album on my profile page. The 18" and 20" dDrum Deccabons that I got sound so frickin sweet! I have em tuned down pretty low to get a similar sound to what Al gets. Haha, yeah, my original 5 pc is a Pearl(I couldn't find any affordable Ludwigs when I was a kid!) but the 10" and "12 add on toms as you can see, are Ludwigs haha. I really should invest in some more cymbals, but my next splurge on my kit will probably be a couple more deccabons haha! Cheers

Hey man .... how are you doing?
Had the money and I bought 02 8' splashes - nice stuff!
Looks like a local label will release my band's 1st effort!

See ya!

Nice new avatar, man.

Rudes are damn great!

How's life?

See ya!

Thanks !!!

Haha! I've had many of those dreams! I'd love to just line up all his kits in a row and play em!

Hey, man! \o

All is fine here - not a single problem regarding to those protests. In fact, I went to
one of them (June, the 19th) and I'm gonna tell you something ... I never EVER
saw so many chicks in life. Most of the peo0ple there just went to see how things
would end or to march supporting something (against the PEC 37 most of the times).

Other than that ... people wanted to take pics and post'em over that shitty FB thing.

How about the skins? Playing that hard? I'm on 02 bands now. 02 bands, man! :P

See ya! Still I can't post here! Damn!
