True. There's always exotic names like Juanita or Svetlana.Reminds me of the song by that name by Morphine. Cure for pain is a great album actually. Too generic for my new baby's name though.

... packed nicely with a bundle of Larry's signature laundry - which is getting handed down to everletty today!

Amazing!
Larry's snare showed up at my house Wednesday but USPS didn't want to leave it at my door, so I just picked it up this morning. Got it home and did a quick swap of heads and hoops (everletty gets a die cast hoop upgrade) and did a bit of tuning. Wow! I dialed it in next to my BB and this drum packs a punch!
I have a rock show down in Portland tonight so I don't have time to futz around with video, but suffice it to say that it was packed nicely with a bundle of Larry's signature laundry - which is getting handed down to everletty today!
Anyway, here's a pic of the mighty Bronze Sensitone just before I packed it up for tonight. Also, more pics of my fabulous carpet since it's such a hit, and one more just for fun to show the rest of my little rock room.
Thanks again, Larry, I'm super excited to play this tonight!
Larry, you were right about the rope. I think it was holding (at least part) of the drum together. Two of the lug screws broke and fell inside the drum and when I took the batter head off to get them out, I thought I'd tighten up the rest just for good measure and two more screws broke leaving the threaded portions inside the lugs - gotta figure out how to get those out of the 4 lugs now.
Anybody have any ideas?
Snare arrived yesterday, packaged in the infamous blue shirts and a very serviceable drum bag that I will be definitely using for carting to gigs.
Just bought new heads which I'm tuning up when I get home tonight, then it's off to the studio with Larry's amazing gift to record drum tracks for the album all weekend.
I couldn't stop staring at her all night last night. Trying to come up with a good name. "Goldie" or something is too easy. Maybe "Aunt Larrita" =P.
I awoke Sunday to find my basement drum cave flooded for the 3rd time in 7 years.
Yipes! I thought you just had a VERY shiny floor! My basement would flood every spring until I re-graded the side of the road in front of my house. Water would stand in the "ditch", so I tilled it up and removed some soil. No problems since. Hope your flooding problem is an easy fix!
A small pair of vice grips if there's any threads sticking out, if not, WD-40 and a screw extractor bit which is tricky if it's stuck on the shell.
No screw bits stuck in the shell, the threaded pieces are buried inside the lug. Not sure if it's feasible to try to extract them.
I think i'll just look online for some other imperial lugs and go that route. No biggie!
I wanted to set up this thread so that videos of folks getting their new gear could be shared out with the community at large. There's been an awful lot of naysayers and cynics on the other thread. Let's show them what this has all been about - drummers being real cool to other drummers for no ulterior motive whatsoever.
My snare will be here sometime today (crack job by the US Postal Service), so I'll post my video as soon as I get it - followed by a studio first look sometime in the next week.
