I guess that means I didn't really get along with them, I was just making excuses for not taking them out of the house.


Yeah, that would irk me. I have no reason and look for none to leave mine at home. Took em out tonight. That little 18 sounded just perfect in the environment, huge, chewy, punchy, and not miked. Expressive damn drum. :D

But you know it's odd; when I tuned it earlier today in the venue, there was so much sustain, I wasn't too sure how good it was going to sound in the music. But I have learned that too much sustain alone is usually just perfect in ensemble.

Score another one for the recently repaired elevator...

...and for the 18" kick.

Speaking of the elevator, everything was back upstairs within ten minutes after pulling into the garage. :shock: The power of hydraulics and wheels!

I used to come down the next morning and look at the huge pile of drums, hardware cases, PA, carpet, music and mic stands scattered around the loading dock. Feh. Getting it all back up the stairs often took two days.
