Hey Big Spender

Yesterday i went out to rent a set of drums to record with on the new album. After several disappointing visits to a few different music stores who either didn't rent drums anymore or didn't have any available, i was very frustrated. While attempting to leave the last music store to return home and cry softly in the corner of my room, i decided to take a gander in the drum room of the music store. There were a few good deals on some pretty ugly sets, but finally i saw a really nice 4 piece Gretsch jazz set. The color they had was a little too flashy, like a white-glittery silver color. After talking to the salesman for a while i found out they had the same set in the back, still in the box, that was a natural wood finish. After a while of back-and-forthing the idea of actually buying a drumset, i decided that it made the most sense to not buy the drums.

And then i bought the drums.

Here is a picture of them, and you'll be hearing them on the new record. They sound really good and hopefully they'll add something nice to the album.

Now i am off, to start tracking drums. All is well.

  1. I think you should have bought the glitter kit, then you could have done an 80's type rock show. Yeahhh.

    On second thought, the natural finish looks alot better.
