Has that guy posted again? I do not recall seeing him.
Leo is currently completing a total refurb on some shells he managed to acquire. In true Leo style, he's putting a lot of work in and doing it the hard way. I know he has internet access issues, so communication is slow. Here is his last mail to me & some pictures of his work to date.
My dear friend
It has been a while since i don't write you , i must apologize , but i was out of my hands to do it , the place where i work was repairing the wires for the internet so was a long time since i dont have comunication with friends.I would like to know how you are doing and your family.Here is almost the same everyday , but all is ok and my family is ok too.I want to share my things and happiness with you so i have some news ,the band got and audition i Havana with some respected musicians of my country.The purposes was to be considered as a pro, the only diferences here of being pro is that you get paid for what you do , amateurs dont.we have passed the audition and the only musician that the jury praised was me , there was a musician for each one , my jury was one of the most famous drummers and teachers from Cuba , his name is Rui Lopez-Nussa he congratules me and recomend me to keep going and playing , he was amazed because i played with a click and the band sounds very solid.Also i talked of you with him , because he asked me about the double pedal and i say that was a gift from a drummer a big friend of mine.So i hope that everything works now for the band , but we have to consider that metal music is not very acclaimed for the people here and we are considering to play some covers for diferent kind of audience.
Finally i have finished my drums , i have some pics here that i want you to see , it was a really hard work but the result is done , i had pain in my hands for 1 week due to sanding and polishing but now im happy to see my drums.Andy i will never have words to express you and the other members my gratitude , the pedals feels so smoth , is very nice to work wih it , and the cymbals , it amazing how they change the sound of the complete band , thanks again.Here you have some pics and later i will take some more of the full drums with cymbals and all hardware.In the pics you will see my drums keeper , it my cat and in the other you will see my dog ,and there is a pic with my snare , i have put some stickers with the band logo , my girlfriend made the stickers and she designed the logo of the band .I have really enjoyed writing this message.Take care , have love and peace for you and your family.
Hugs
Leo
