Re: 2026 Chatty!!!!!

Hey HOD fam!

Been a minute!

Life is crazy- I'm getting divorced. Still playing/shedding for maintenance but obviously not my current priority. My son Theo is doing great, turned 4 back in March!

Anyway, hope you're all well and enjoying the world cup! May not be posting much but I'm always ...

Re: Anika Nilles

Gang. This thread turned into a shitshow. I can't speak for Steve but I know we've shut down threads in the past for getting too wonky/opinionated on the loosest of political topics.

How about Anika?

She posted on Stalkbook recently about her rig- closed high hat on a stand, with some sound ...

Re: Quarantine Chatty!

So my return to gigging went pretty well. Nice long 5 hours at a wedding. Honestly playing that long felt fine, but I’d forgotten how brutal the load out is after the gig (lol).

There were some hiccups/near train wrecks between the whole group of players (only had one rehearsal that mainly focused ...

Re: Quarantine Chatty!

So I’ve got my first run of gigs starting in 10 days- last work I had was February 2020. Feeling a bit nervy about the whole thing.

For anyone that’s been back out in the wild after some time (or a pandemic lol)- any friendly neighborhood advice?? These are wedding/corporate/working band sort of ...

Re: Quarantine Chatty!

Hey all!

My son Theo was born four weeks ago tonight. He and Sara are doing great, and I'm surviving (lol)! Been a wild ride thus far, but all is good. His current favorite albums are Kind of Blue and Wildflowers, so I think it's fair to say we're off to a good start! Hope y'all are doing well ...

Re: Quarantine Chatty!

HOD Fam! Been a minute (again!)- chances are, my wife will go into labor within the next week and change.

Big times ahead for us! Hope you're all well!

Re: Quarantine Chatty!

Hey all! Brief Willy update for shits and giggles:

In non-drumming related news- my wife is at about 23 weeks & all is well! I've been continuing to work remotely with my former post production company in LA too since August so that's been great.

In drumming related news- snagged me some 15" HHX ...
