Since it's so dead here, I may as well bring this back. Been traveling for work recently and bass is pretty boring without an amp and I am not willing to chance singing in a hotel room, so I've been doing more drum practice to get the motions down and develop a feel for it.

I also bought a used Pearl Export set this weekend. Came with a decent hi hat and ride, but the others were a 10" splash and a china cymbal...not as useful as a crash would be. Still trying to figure out if I should look into a crash or crash ride.

I hope to find something to use it for soon, as I think playing with people is how you really solidify and develop the skills, but I feel much more comfortable with it than I was even a week ago, so that's pretty fun.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming...
