about

Every fashionista knows that one must accessorize. As guitarists, we do that with capos, strings, tunings, pickups, slides, picks, mango seeds, violin bows, drumsticks, pedals, amps and more. All that has been familiar to me for years.

Recently, I've been learning to appreciate drum accessories like never before. I would like to thank the following designers for helping me trick out my middle of the road Gretsch Catalina Club Kit, turning it into something more heavyweight and strange: Roots Eq, Snareweight, Index Drums, Low Boy Custom Beaters, Morfbeats, Dream Cymbals, Evans for the Calftone heads, Drumgees, Revival Drum Shop, Nelson Drum Shop, Tune Bot and Headhunters. Most of all, I'd like to thank my 2000 Honda Civic for being such a cheap date and allowing me to afford more gear than I could when I had a car that was cooler looking but prone to being in need of frequent repair.

This list documents the fall continuation of what I wrote about in July - laying the groundwork for new songs by coming up with the beat first, before everything else. Let the good times drumroll.
