Totally Seasons in the Abyss. And thanks. I am glad someone likes it. It took a fair amount of time to drag them all out and give them a reasonable touch up before the photo shoot, lol.
I can't tell you how many pre-internet hours I spent turning the pages in the Tama catalog. Most of my favorite drummers were playing Tama back in the day. Charlie from Anthrax, Dave from Slayer, Lars from Metallica. So a combination of obsessing over these catalogs and watching VHS tapes like Anthrax's N.F.V. (Nice Fucking Video) and seeing Charlie's Tama kit shaking and pulsating as he pounds out the intro to Among the Living, was enough to make me feel like I needed to get my hands on some of my favorite gear. And back then, hardly anyone could touch Tama in the hardware department. They made great long-lasting stuff that worked!
