For about 2 weeks after the show I was having trouble playing certain master pedal intensive stems. The other parts seemed to be manageable, but still off from normal.

I thought it was me at first. Due to my trouble with sciatica, I thought it was just something that would happen eventually and it caught up with me. I resigned myself to re-writing the bassdrum part to be less extensive. I wasn't happy about it, because it even though it fit...it wasn't how the song was meant to go. One night after warming up and playing around...I just got fed up and tossed the sticks and walked off and went outside to sit...

Finally after the aggravation built up too much I threw down and inspected every nook and cranny. AH HA!!!!

The guy who used my kit at the show lowered my throne. Not a lot. Not enough to catch with the naked eye! A couple of twists and BAM!

I hopped on the kit and took her to town. I knew it couldn't have been me. I let my fears and aggravation get the best of me.

So let this be a reminder guys!
