Great job! Some fixes aren't too hard, thankfully.

I always liked how the Penguin kits really show off the natural wood.

Great playing! Lots of finesee and it's obvious you have studied the genre.

I was practicing today and I was having some trouble doing 16ths in some tricky places with my bass drum. In frustration, I stared at my right foot and tried executing the patterns and it was actually much easier. I found I could control how far the beater traveled from the head between notes...

I'm putting together a project with a bassist and a trombonist (both of them found on Craigslist). We want to get more melodic instruments, but specifically don't want any guitars. They're like the default white dude instrument. I've played with guitarists my whole life and I will play with them...

But it's a lot harder now because I bought one. 2011 MacBook Pro on Craigslist for $500, including Microsoft Office for Mac and other accessories. I am starting a computer science program next month and everyone I talked to said Macs are best for computer programming, including Web development...

God no, don't ever put any duct tape on a drum unless you are trying to sell it on Craigslist - then it must have duct tape. One fellow duct taped a tampon to the snare head.

Lots of dampening is a good thing to most people. Many drummers buy the thinnest, ringiest heads they can find and then go to extremes of stuffing clothing, pillows, blankets, towels and other junk in a desperate effort to dampen the head. I actually thickened my drum head by gluing a layer of...

Yeah, I did notice the scrolling element, but on a smartphone, you could just swipe to peek at a bit more of the Web site. Responsiveness is very hot right now and for good reason - people are rolling out all types of freaky screen sizes and sites need to be able to resize their sites instantly...

Neither of those sites was at all responsive in my Firefox laptop browser. Maybe I should try it on my Android. Check out http://gcbaz.com/ on a desktop or laptop browser and resize the window. Totally responsive.

Even just making the Web site responsive would be a big plus. At a certain point, an app and a fully responsive Web site are pretty much the same thing.

Another view of the kit in my music room.

When accused of theft, never say, "What would I do with that anyway?" It invites people to create scenarios in which you did steal something and found some use for it. Your character is being questioned, not your business savvy. If you really didn't steal anything then simply say, "I wish I...

HA! Thanks. So you seem like a good person to ask - how come we hear all about the anal retentives, but not the anal expulsives? I'll say something like, "Man, he's really anal expulsive" and people will laugh, not knowing it's a legit term. Then I explain Freud's wacko theories and they're like...

That's called an Anal Expulsive. Freud believed that if your parents potty trained you too early, you became obsessed with organization from retaining anally. If your parents potty trained you too late, you became disorganized from expelling anally. I swear to God I am not making this up. Yes...

I am looking to get a hihat for my cocktail set and I've located one on Craigslist locally. It appears to be an older Tama Stagemaster, single braced and light duty. That's actually what I am looking for, something lighter, and it extends high enough to play standing. But I've always used...

Just too freaky for me! Must be Blue Men. If you're already seen it, say nothing and leave. Chances are it's been posted and deleted but I had to share it. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=139619119532301&set=vb.388071227942020&type=2&theater

Normally my tastes in cinema vary from horror to violent science fiction, but my wife got me into Downton Abbey and I really like it. Getting into the second season now on Hulu. Anyone else liking it? Duh, I misspelled Downton Abbey in the title of this thread!
