WTF Francis. SClass Pro's ARE the good stuff.

Welcome to the forum buddy!

On all of my other SClass Pro kits, I hated the snares. I am loving this one. I'm afraid to touch it.
I think whoever tuned this thing (guy at the music store I presume) really knew his shit. It sounds huge.

Oh I see how it is, now that I have been properly denigrated I am more accepted.

Lets get something straight.... call me Psycho.

Any of guys call ME Francis and I'll kill you.

And I don't like anybody touching my STUFF, so keep your meat hooks off.

I catch any of you guys in my stuff and I'll kill you.

Also I don't like anybody touching or talking bad about my Sonor drums; I'll kill you.

Any of you talk bad about my lack of talent or chops; and I'll kill you.

Kelly - "WTF Francis." You just made the list buddy.

So I think my SCPros are good stuff, but I put em behind my Teardrops, Lites and Phonics; so everything in perspective. I do really like the 14 floor as well. Normally when I see 13 and 14 in a kit I think rack toms and thought that using the rack 13 and the 14 floor together would be a close interval for tuning; but the 14 is 5 inches deeper then the 13. I played it a few times as 13,14,16 with no problem on the tuning side or from a visual looking weird perspective cause the 14 and 16 are the same depth and line right up. Don't know of too many others using that particular combination, but it worked and the only thing that looked weird was me trying to figure out tunes the band went into that I had never heard of let alone played. They had a working list of 150 tunes all from 1965 and back. Cant say as I had a real firm grasp of Dean Martin, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Fats Waller, Count Basie, and Glen Miller before that stint. Was a learning curve but an enjoyable experience to play music that otherwise I would have never approached.

Yeah I enjoy being sarcastic once in awhile and making fun of myself. You can just tell me to "lighten up Francis."

Haha! Love that freaking movie.
A bunch of friends still quote all the lines and it's always a good laugh.

If you slack off making fun of yourself, we will pick up the slack lol

Well if that ain't enough, there is always plenty of material to be found here in this very fertile ground. Move over Lassie.

My wife just calls me the Talking A$$.

You know Francis used to be so uncommon and unpleasant that you never came across too many of them. I always said that 3 out every 4 Franks was really a closet Francis. It wasn't until the Pope took the Saint from Assisi moniker that all that changed. Now it seems that every 4th catholic born in the world is named Francis.

No one every tells the Pope to "Lighten up Francis."

Welcome aboard; sorry it took so long to get you in, but the truth is you were probably responsible for years of delay - me, just a few days. :? :lol:

...and thank to Kelly for getting to me with the info that helped me find you in a huge pile of spambot sign-ups.

Next time, don't hide in a pile of shit.

Kidding aside, welcome again.
