    Lol, love it man!

    One of my drum buddies has looked me up for some lessons to improve his game a bit. Was nice to hang out with him, told him to not look at me as a teacher "handing down the Laws Of Drumming" like Moses coming down from the Mount, but rather as how a tennis coach looks at one of his players, offering little tips on posture, improving strokes on the drums and a bit of shop talk on gear, setting stuff up ergonomically, thing like that (which made a change of pace from teaching others today). Obviously the next lesson will focus a bit more exercises and notes, today was just to see how his general playing is and how to tweak it a bit better.

    tapped on my new Black Magic snare. It's fitting that I'm on vacation in Louisiana and had it shipped here. You know there's still a lot of black magic being performed down here .

    I picked up some new cymbals with some birthday money today. Grabbed an 8" Impression splash at $100 and scored a second hand set of Sabian Pro hats and a ride for $40 bucks each. They'll be used for rehearsals and taking out to camps and whatnot. I think I'm gonna take the splash back tomorrow though, it sounds too similar to the 7" one I already own.

    ^ Hey Drumstix, your birthday, hey? Happy Birthday to you man!

    As for me, after finishing the last student around 7:30pm, had some dinner then dove into mallet percussion practice. Must have logged in around 2-3 hrs on that. Jeez there's so much to learn of it!

    A 1/2 note rest means that you have time for a fast nap.

    A 1/4 note rest means you have time for a sip of your beer.

    A 1/8th note rest means you have time for neither.

    Added some overhead mics to the kit, and I'm working out some feedback issues. It's a little frustrating right now.

    Went to the Ian Paice "Meet And Greet" at one of my local stores. See the thread I posted earlier. After these next few lessons, gonna go drive a bit up north from me to pick up a Tama and Dixon cymbal stand and two DW cymbal stackers, for less than AU$150. Be a late dinner by the time I get back.

    Took apart my drums, got half way through re-setting them up in a different configuration, realized I wouldn't like it, set them back up the old way. Also learned Spectrum Of Eternity by Soilwork.

    Did a bit of speed and endurance exercise at 220-250 bpm. Jammed a bit of metal, haven't in a while, it's good fun.
