Very nice! Okay, now you've inspired me. I'm going to do a polka version of Slink!!! Complete with Tuba!!

That's very cool Rodge. Did you do the arrangement?

And they mess up your technique! :evil: They really can. I admire Roland for their advancements with electronic drums, but like we've said before, they sound and work best when doing anything BUT trying to mimic/duplicate real drums. They are their own instrument. If someone digs it, and wants to d...

Cryptography can be defeated. Until the big players, like Google, Apple, etc., are forced to change their ways, things will just get worse. As for Internet traffic being monitored, you're fooling yourself if you think that's not already happening.

In fact, if they offered die c...

I've always loved Chad Wackerman's sound too, but not so much on the "Live at Yoshi's" DVD with Allan Holdsworth. But in that case, I think it's the Evans heads that ruin it for me, not so much the drums. I've heard Chad live, up close, and his drums sounded great. My own experience playin...
