    The Fascination with 4pc

    I just tried a 6 piece in my basement for a few days and it seems fun for awhile, but I eventually went back to the 4 piece. It’s all I need. And I’m definitely NOT lugging 6 drums to a gig.

    Sam Ash is closing 18 stores

    I liked the old Ritchie’s location and store better than the new one. Drums seem like an afterthought in the new store.

    Silent stage age: do your drums matter anymore?

    I’m probably playing a Roland Octopad at my next gig due to lack of space issues (a tiny bar). Not looking forward to it.

    Which are the 2 top cymbals brands, and would you rather

    Arriving home from a late gig: What's happens at your place?

    Depending on what time it is and how tired I am, unpack the car or leave the drums in the car til the morning. Bite to eat, shower, go to bed.

    Yamaha Tour Custom Maple

    I had a Tour Custom for awhile but the two things I didn’t like were the finishes (uninspiring) and the bass drum depth (17” deep), so I sold it. If they came out with better finishes and a 14” deep bass drum, I would re-consider.

    How many gigs did you have last year?

    14. Would have been more but our lead singer had a sudden and unexpected heart attack when we were setting up for a gig, and died an hour later in the hospital. Took a few months off after that.
