Lordy
This is taking too long. It’s not fair really – I mean – I spent about 4 months on the songs. But – now that they’re there – I’m impatient to get Tony squared away and in the studio. Drum demos came for Dying in Style and Empty Pockets. Looking forward to checking them out.
And speaking of drums, my 8 year old daughter Malena has been asking about a drum set. I used to play drums kind of seriously (I had a set at least) long ago – and I feel like she might be giving me an excuse to get back into it a little. The problem is that the drums I would want to get are hard to find. I want like a Rogers, or Fibes, or Leedy or an old Ludwig kit. I want a black beauty snare. I saw a vintage black beauty for $3500 on ebay. Good lord. It’s either that – or I want an eKit. Totally not as cool – but way more practical for the noise considerations. Especially taking into account an 8 year old may be playing them too. Plus – an ekit into pro tools and BFD drums – which is what I use on the demos – and I could pick any of the above kits from my computer. Again – nowhere near as cool – but – for what I’d be using them for (demos) – it would be kind of the thing. But – these kits are super-freaking-expensive too. Putting it off. But obsessively adding items to my ebay watch list. This is the same phenomenon that happened before I got the Dark Fire.
