sweet. tight snare ***. always been interested in 13" instead of 14" snare.. looking forward to recording!

still.. unsure about the mcs but i am sure it was alright. hats are most important anyway, plus bass and snare...

sounds very tasty.... stage hats + a ride = sweet. classic tom head combo too. cool stuff.

My english teacher was from latvia. she was crap at english.

what set-up did you go use?

i worked with carbon fibre for about 3 months at college, sponsored by the aerospace part of SAAB. Worked a lot with prepreg sheets, making various parts for planes. Made a nice CF clock too, but the clock part of it was so bloody loud i had to take it down. So yeah i know what I am talking about...

says the guy with the minted guitars and tats and shit.

played some cymbals today and i think i fell in love. 14" istanbul mehmet traditionals and a 21" zil sweet ride. brilliant all 'round. still would like to try 13" hats before i buy, but i dunno if it is doable. meh.

and mike payed for everything with his dodgy import business.

not really. common sense is the key.

price expected to be similar = ??? how much?

yeah, lawsuit ***. my sigma is VERY similar to the original gibson l6-s.. small details only differ, like mine has a 2 piece body while the original had a three piece (what i've seen anyhow), and some minor differences in the numbers by the pickup switch. oh and i believe that the chickenhead knob for the pup switch is a little less decorated than the gibson, but hey, can't see from more than a foot away.

woo, song by isis. saw them on sat, they were brilliant. looking forward to seeing vid.

fernandes tele.. tasty. is it the ones with the fender-style fernandes logo? a friend of mine has an 80s fernandes les paul, it's brilliant, but has the boring newschool logo.

rails in general, uphill ups with uneven runup, drops in general.

"gavin broke his bike, so we were ready to give him leeway. not needed." is a quote that is stuck in my head. weird. seems like forever ago, i wonder if i still have my old mbuks at the rents house.

at this thread. sweden is pretty damn safe. city i used to live in was the safest place ever, got into trouble once or twice i think, nothing happened. never mugged or jumped there. now living in gothenburg, there are rougher areas, but nowhere near as bad as it seems over in the UK. i happily walk home at 3 in the morning after being out on town...

nice to see a "TN INDUSTRIES FOR CANE CREEK" headset on there.. i have had one for ages. not very light though i guess.

chad had/has groove, time and pocket though. that's what separates bad drummers from good... chad is awesome. even funnier is the fact that he looks just like will ferrell and because of his size, makes the drum kit look stupidly small.

it's all tasteless double bass drumming if you ask me, waaaay overplayed. not that i could do it any better...

bb yoke is cnc, and the top plate between the seat stays. dropouts are cast.

signed basshunter single, and a martin kleivard autograph from about 6-7 years ago i think.

still one of the best riding frames ever, in my opinion. my v1 has lasted me nearly 3 years now, which is pretty damn great for a comp frame. Granted I don't go big or harsh, but still.

full or 3/4 rotation mostly. sometimes half, depending on how close to the wall i wanna start. i always do the rolling swap move rather than just beasting it up, find it much easier when the runup is limited. also easier to land on the top rather than the corner = smoother.

As been said, try to be as active as you can, even if it feels shit. Activities to avoid are operating heavy machines and shoe shopping, as leaning over makes me feel even worse. Also, eat and drink a shitload of everything. In my experience, it really doesn't matter much. Fatty and salty works well, but just make sure you eat LOADS and drink LOADS you'll be fine.
