Re: Quarantine Chatty!

Quick update. The last couple of months have been weird. GF started having anxiety attacks due to work and family issues. But the real “what the actual F” moment came yesterday. As it turns out, yesterday Mylious Johnson was going to take a plane to perform at a drumfest here in Spain and he tested...

Re: Quarantine Chatty!

Caught my first Drumhang yeaterday. Wish I had jumped on board earlier for the Vinnie only ones, but it was not to be. Kai was there. So was John Riley, Dave Hassel, Marc Mondesir and quite a few name drummers. I was just back from an overnighter with my new setup. Sort of has to be my main focus f...

Re: Quarantine Chatty!

Man...that IS quite the arrangement!!! You mentioned that they are tuned from high-to-low, which makes sense. Do the snares actually have that kind of range without being muddy at the low-end and choked at the high-end even accounting for shell depth? If the sound is clear at all tuning ranges, the...

Re: Quarantine Chatty!

Holy crap, we actually did it! Two hours of setting up and tuning this thing after having all the material ready to go. Now it's all marked for a quicker set up but this was a total trip and it's too much fun to play. Everything is tuned from low to high (the deeper snare drums sound almost like mid...

Re: Quarantine Chatty!

Carlos -- Thanks for the info. Nice sticks...and even better hands!!! I went to Dalbex's website last night. Looks like they have some interesting sticks. Too bad they aren't available here in the U.S.A (yet). Another brand that I found interesting is Siop. They're made in Austria, and they have an...

Re: Quarantine Chatty!

Carlos -- Yeah...count me in for wanting to see you do your thing. Congrats on the new relationship with Mapex. I've heard form other people that their customer service is really good, too. It 's about time something good happened to a really good guy. BTW--what are the specs on the drumsticks (if ...

Re: Quarantine Chatty!

It's been a while, but I've been busy re-inventing some stuff in my life. Sometimes, moving forward means making big changes. The biggest news, I guess it's that I signed as an international Mapex artist a few months ago. Not many people saw this one coming, but it was something in the making for mo...

Jeff Porcaro Gregg Bissonette Simon Phillips Keith Carlock Shannon Forrest Robert Searight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB7qFkhwaY8 That was cool. It's always nice to see/hear Toto, no matter the l...

Re: Quarantine Chatty!

Really, thank you all. You know, sometimes you wonder if there's some kind of impression you leave on people at all, so this is really motivating. I'll try to contribute a bit more.
