Unwinding to some Police


, originally uploaded by ArcherVision.

Got to take a break once in a while, right? Well, I figure the best way is to fire up Pandora and play to some cool music...Peter Gabriel, The Police, Pink Floyd, Sting and Talking Heads all spew out on their own, I just play along, play over the top of in a totally different style, or just use the timing to woodshed some chops. Kit is sounding great, and the new year brought along a slightly new set up with the ride taking a position more like a conventional right-handed kit. Two floors, both with pressure tubes, and then two more rack toms, separated by the hat. Then, over the the left of that is a homemade octoban, a DW popcorn snare and small REMO Rototom rims used as a set of hats. Makes for some good ergonomics, and lots of stuff to hit.

Just the way I like to unwind.
