Tim nailed it. I'm doing ok. Nothing percussion related to report, but I like to check in and see what everybody else is doing. How are you Tim? "You beat calfskin/mylar with wooden sticks. Get over yourself." - Mark

It's hard to hear ya and distinguish what those indistinct sounds are, Dave, due to the echoes in this empty hall ... and I actually WAS listening <admittedly, these are older ears>. Mapex Saturn * Paiste Terry Bozzio Single-Ply Coated

I got frustrated with the guys I was jamming with about six months ago and packed all my stuff away. I haven't touched it since. If this lingers for too long, I might even unload one kit and go down to only 1 kit. In June once I retire from the Army I might start something up again.

I've been occupying myself with auxiliary percussion in University Band, but nothing else exciting drumming-wise to report. Just the wonders of different-sized triangle beaters. Gretsch Catalina Club Jazz in Copper Sparkle Zildjian, Dream, and Wuhan cymbals

I'm preparing for a contest this afternoon. Will report how well it goes. "Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple." -Charles Mingus

We did bad. And Sherm, before you bust your window, look up a Tune-bot video online. That's how my dad and I figured out ours. "Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple." -Charles Mingus

How do you have the snare drum tuned the suggestions on the web site seem to be very high. I tried the lowest reading and almost choked the drum. The heads are old, I'm changing both heads this weekend. Thanks, sherm K.I.S.S. = Keep It Simple System
