Hey Gavin! I went on a trip recently, and I figured I'd give the Pineapple Thief album Dissolution a good listen, and first off, I have to say that as a long-time fan since the PT days, your drumming has only gotten more creative and imaginative. The bit you do in the breakdown of "Threatening...

I'm probably using this forum improperly to vent my frustrations with one of my bands, and our obnoxious, super controlling, singer. But I honestly don't know anyone else who would understand the predicament as well as...well you guys. So here goes: So about 3 years ago, a guy approaches me...

So it looks like Bubinga (or at least 3 different variants of it) are now on the CITES endangered list. So does this mean the end for Tama Starclassics B/B and Full Bubinga lines? And other custom builder's using this wood? That would be a damn shame, as Bubinga does make a beautiful drum with...

My first post! Alright, so if any of you know me from other forum's, I'm the guy who just bought a DW and sent it back due to some defects (bearing edges, later discovered the kick was out of round) Anyway, I'm now shopping for a kit again, and the engineer I record with suggested that I get...
