    Posted on Dammit. I have long been convinced, for reonass unknown to me, that Rumours’ came out in 1975, the year that I was born. Kind of disappointed to realize I was wrong about that.Oh, well, I’ve still got Born to Run.’Love your discussion of the album, totally agreed. There are some great singles ( Dreams is pretty close to a perfect song for me), but put together it’s greater than the sum of its parts.I love your music writing, I hope to see more of these!

    The 2 beaters on your double bass aren’t the same right ? .. But the sound is the sam from both ..

    Hey, you seem like the guy to go to for this question I’ve had for a while. I have a set, it’s tama, a basic $800 set with cymbols, and I am now going to buy a double bass pedal worth half of my whole drum set. I have come to realize my set must suck. it doesn’t sound good, and i’ve even replaced the heads with Evans (i think) aquarian series heads. How can i make my heads sound good? it bothers me because i see youtube videos where i hear acoustic drums sound perfect compared to what i want my drums to sound like. Your drums sound like the example i hear all the time. how do I make my drums sound better? Please help me!

    i really dont like the clear. i prefer black on black or a solid color with black chrome hardware.
