So what drum related stuff did you do today?

[backtodrum]

Set up at a theater for a Christmas concert gig. Three shows Friday and Saturday for a benifit for a food bank in our area. We do it every year and it is a blast!

Built a drum riser out of plywood and 5 gallon buckets. Despite what you might think...its not scary at all. The gig on Black Friday is gonna be a blast!

i played some Foals and Civil twilight on my knees, and daydreamed about my tobacco burst babies at home waiting for me.

Two band practices and three performance assessments.

It's OK Itch. I didn't even look at my drums.

Bought some Paiste Alpha 14" hats on ebay to replace my current no name brass efforts. Wanted 2002s, but the budget for that just wasn't going to fly. I'm pretty sure the Alphas will be a significant upgrade and keep me going for the foreseeable future.

You're a quality guy BTD!

One band practice and 5 performance assessments. It's safe to say that I won't be touching the drums for a good week after tomorrow!

Started fixin up the old hodgepodge speed king. Some nasty old grease inside.

Participated in We Make Noise Wednesday- bring my kit and a cooler to a friend's house every Wednesday and just riff for about three hours. He provides the pizza.

Brought my cymbals to work with me (left them in the trunk of the car) so that I could go to the studio after and ended up just going home.
OOOPS!.

[Drumbledore]

Taught drums at school.....back's still recovering from last week....but going ok thanks to the meds and exercise ...and err, that's it.....excitement plus, hey? lol (j/k)

I stripped all the black plastic coverings from my resurrection kit. I sanded down all the surfaces and prepped them for staining.

I then stained the 13" for test purposes. Trying to determine how many coats of stain to administer. So far, two is looking good to me.






This is after the first coat, which I put on last night.

[Homeularis]

Looks fun bish...
How hammered was the original wrap and how are you gonna finish them?.

I have a question for you or anyone else interested on influencing my decision.

Should I go and practice tonight (by myself)?. My entire kit is still brand new and begging to be played.

Its only 5:40pm right now but its Thanksgiving and very cold outside (not cold inside though) and my studio is open 24hrs and about 10 miles away.

If I dont go tonight I may not practice until this coming Monday.

Theres always just chillin out at home all nice and cozy watching TV.

HMMM?...What would you guys do?.

[Bish]

Man, that's a tough one. Especially now cuz it's almost 8 my time.

I think I would have gone to the studio and would be coming back soon. LOL

[NoiseInMotion]

I drummed.

This is completely irrelevant now, as your post was about 2am my time and it's now 8:10am but I would have drummed too


I have a gig tonight, the place will be packed, we hit the stage at 11:30pm and the bar is open till 4:00am, we have free bar and we are getting paid too, not too shabby for JSB.

I bought drum gear today. MMM

I wish I could. i was at GC the other day. There was this beauty 16" medium thin A at GC. Secondhand. So it already was played in. Man, I came real close to picking that up. They also had a real nice secondhand 8" A splash, but it was a little pricey. So I bought some sticks instead

Well you can never have too many sticks.

[pastor_bob]

I decorated my kit for Christmas, and had a good practice session.

[Bish]

I took down the stained tom and hung the 16. However, I forgot to start staining it. I spent the evening working on my Tele bodies. I had to route the neck pocket to accommodate my only Tele neck. Now I can't decide which body to put it on. Pretty sure it's going to be the black one.

[Spazz]

picked up an avedis zildjian cymbal pack. no more brass hat and crash for me :D
