  1. Neil Diamond and I was probably 4 years old. Pretty sure it was at Reunion Arena, but that was just built then and I don't particularly recall. Subsequently saw him 5 or 6 more times. My parents were fans. First "grown up" concert I saw was Chuck Mangione. Then, I'd guess either New Order or Lynyrd Skynyrd or Depeche Mode or some other such nonsense.
  2. Lars, is that you? Also, JJ, did you powdercoat that hardware or buy it already black? I've always wanted to build my own kit, especially after seeing the process in having one built. And Keller shells?
  3. So you guys are saying SKIP the little splash of Diet Coke at the end? We'll see....
  4. Username continues to check out.
  5. Ha, that sounds like me before The Purge.
  6. Love it. My first "real" kit was a Pearl Export 5 piece.
  7. The GMT Mii just looks weird with the jubilee band. I love my older pepsi, but the bezel is fading a LOT.
  8. Yeah, it was ridiculous. I played blues/rock, mostly. It was overkill in every single way and a bitch to get any decent tone out of it without the kick head feeling like mush. (Turns out, there's an advantage to drums with asymmetrical measurements in terms of ability to get kick feel and tone right, especially at that big-ass size). I also think the kick and floor toms were all 12 ply shells, but can't remember if it was all of them and they had rounded bevel edges. Fat. But when I bought it, I already had two other "stock" kits so when I decided to play around with a custom kit, I wanted some crazy specs and look/feel. Was pretty fun.
  9. Fly high like the eagle soars. Or something like that.
  10. I have a Pixel first gen (worked on its launch) but don't yet have the 2. Far and away my favorite phone ever and worth switching for the camera alone.
  11. And while I dream about: I'll probably end up with this (since I now also have to buy guitars habitually):
  12. And of course, I could always:
  13. Okay, fine, I'll just talk to myself then. Thinking something like this for my next kit:
  14. If you're finally going to learn to play, you should probably buy another guitar, though.
  15. Speaking of G&L and finishes: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid
  16. That's good stuff, right there.
  17. Don't recall if there was an all-encompassing drums thread at the old place, but here goes: That's my last drumset being loaded up into the car to head to its new owner when my drum room was turned into a nursery. Custom built maple-shells in orange sparkle with white powder coated hardware. They were kinda ridiculous and I would never buy/build like that again, but at the time, I loved 'em. And at gigs, someone ALWAYS would ask about them. I usually played them in a Bonham set-up - one rack and two floor toms. And the kick was monsterous - 24" x 24" Good memories. Now I'm about to be back on the market for my next kit.
  18. Dammit. I was hoping in the post-Shaggy reality, we'd have a different president. I has disappoints. Oh, well. Carry on!
  19. I agree, but honestly, part of the reason I was so drawn to this one is that, otherwise, it's fucking IMPOSSIBLE for me to choose a color in guitars. Love gold top LPs, but also black or white or red; love sea foam green strats, but also white, sunburst, silver; love pretty much every color tele. The mind reels!
  20. Just wanted to re-introduce my LP.
