Crazy??? I'm guessing it's your first child??? If yes, then the proper adjective would be 'insane'. The word crazy, I would use if you had a dog that chewed up things.

Anything yet, Marko?

hey Marko congratulations with your baby!

[pastor_bob]

Just saw this marko. Congrats on the occasion of your first child! It's a lot of work, and there are many sleepless nights along the way (not just early in their life), but it's worth every minute. My 2 are in their 20's now, and are pretty much my best friends. I get as much advice from them as they get from me now!

Congrats on your new kiddo!

Thanks! Her name is Madden Mackay.

Thanks! Her name is Madden Mackay.

Wow...first time I've ever heard of that name. Sounds real pretty!!

Thanks. While I am a fan of the Oakland Raiders my wife will not allow me to tell people that she's named after the great coach John Madden, which she is not, but I think it's funny. We wanted something original but not weird. Mackay comes from my wife's great grandfather who was named Mack. I never met him but she says he was the nicest guy on earth. And based on how her grandfather (his son) is now I don't doubt it.

hey marko, the other day i read that you use a 20'' kick and got my curiosity up of how it sounds in a heavy band. It sounds great!. i like 'taking law in our own hands'. the ending is cool. I don't think i've ever a 20'' kick used in such heavy music but it really stands out

Thank you so much man. I appreciate that. I love the 20" kick. It sounds amazing. It's not loud enough in an un-mic'd situation with a metal band but then again the 22" I used before wasn't that much better in that situation either.

All my drums are small for a metal guy. My toms are 10" and 14". They have no issues un-mic'd though. They really cut through the music nicely. The kit sounds great mic'd too. My snare is a 13x6.5" maple.

"Law" has been our closer for a while now. Well, except for the couple of times we've closed with Baby Got Back.
