I loved the sound of all the kits I've had. The...

Re: The nut on the bottom of the top hihat keeps coming loose. Lock-Tite the SOB?

I had a Ludwig Hi hat clutch that started doing the same thing - the bottom nut would loosen.

Re: Favourite part of the kit

Wow! Favorite part of my drum kit?! That's like asking who's my favorite child! LOL!

If I HAD to choose my favorite, I'd have to choose my bass drum. That bugger just commands attention!

Re: What would be the best way to clean Traditional Cymbals?

An occasional light spritzing with Armour All. Buff with a clean soft rag (an old tshirt is perfect.)

Re: Preshow Rituals

No real rituals here...

I show up, set up, schmooz with the folks after sound check. Then I sit down and play music.

No alcoholic drinks...no worries, no drama.

Re: Do you consider it your role to keep time for the rest of the band?
