Hi humberto
First question: You (together with Porcupine Tree of course..) have plans to start a new album?
no not right at the moment.
Second question: What do you think about the 13x5 prolite snare drum with red tribal finish? I see about some months ago and i see you play the new prolite series and i like yery much of each drum but especially the snare drum and i was thinking in buy this and
The drum in that Red Tribal ProLite video is 14x6 and I really liked it.
then became an idea of question to you this....And i see this video of you explain you odd groupings: this is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfKDG7rXEWM and i really like as well of this snare sound.. so if you remember please tell me which snare is that one;
That one is a Sonor Designer 12x5. They did reissue it (with my name on it) a few years ago and so you might still be able to find it.
Hi SantiBanks
One quickie though: as you might already know, Apple released Logic X. There is a "drummer" plugin included now and one of the "drummers" is a guy called Gavin. There is a little bit of rumor on a different forum (Gearsl*tz) that you recorded the stuff for Apple. Is that true?
I don't have Logic X and It's nothing to do with me. I saw a video about their "drummer" plug in and I thought it was very childish. What is the world coming to?
Hi szokematyi
I just saw your new Gibraltar rack on Facebook! Finally it's stylish, and new. (Never liked the box-like Iooking ICON-rack, but it's simply my taste in design, so not even important.) But I found two things that I could not understand.
First: why did you keep the excess bars on the front? Without them the rack would show a bit more drums. Plus the front weight would decrease as well (see: my second question) I would have cut them right from the front post. Are you planning to put something there?
Yes I really wanted those excess bars to mount mic stands. I really don't like mics that are mounted onto the drum so I need to get the mic stands off the rack.
Second: I could not figure out how it won't tumble forward... I mean forwardish, onto the bass drum. Would you post a few more pictures about it?
these photos should answer a lot of the questions. I was a bit tired with the old Pearl rack and front cross bar - it ruined a lot of photos by covering up or obscuring too much of the drums - it's a good sturdy design and I've used it for many years but I feel the Gibraltar is a lot more sleek, stealth and elegant...plus it makes the drums look good.
Hi ElevenFour
Quick question as I'm having a hard time finding an answer to this via search. What bass drum beaters are you using on the speed cobra's? Are they just the two way pearl beaters?
They are Sonor hammer style beaters.
cheers
