I usually feel a lot more detached, actually, and as such much less nervous. It seems like the bigger the venue & the more people, the more disconnected I feel from them. Hell, in an indoor venue, you can't even see them. The big downside is the disconnection you feel from your bandmates on...

That's what I've always heard too - kind of swung 16ths on the hat, etc. It's not a complicated beat; just really hard to play.

That's a beautiful drum track. Some nice technical stuff and totally relaxed. And yes, that BD part in the intro is tough for me too!

LOVE it - thanks for posting. Really nice.

Shoot, I can't remember off hand which one I bought. I'll look when I get home. The applicator is like one of these bottles w/the needle on top: http://www.tapplastics.com/product/repair_products/plastic_adhesives/hypo_type_solvent_cement_applicator/409

Hahaha - good one! Anyway, that's very consistent with all alternator problems I've had in the past. Good luck!

There is a cheap applicator - simply a plastic container with a needle-point tip. You fill it w/the Weld-on, and guide the needle point along the crack. The liquid seeps right into the crack - it's pretty neat, actually. I'd think that in a case like yours, it'd be really easy. You won't...

Weldon works great - at least, for me it did. I have a set of old Sonor Acryls that arrived with a split on the seam of the bass drum and some pretty ugly spiderwebbing on the floor tom. The weld-on did the trick, and fast. It's a very low-viscosity solution that seems to suck itself right...

Haha! That's hilarious; I didn't get to that part - 4 or 5 sentences in, I had to stop reading. It made my brain hurt - but that is funny.

It's kind of too creepy not to be. They've got 5 or 6 listings; motorcycle helmets, a viacom system, lots of clothing, etc.

Yeah - here's another one from his 'wife'. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/clo/3037608351.html Several ads up with that same phone number.

Hmm, no I haven't seen a recent version of Spartacus, only the 1981/1982 Spartacus programs (which were dark as hell and totally killer).

+1 on those. What year did phantom win DCI Finals - 1996? That was a freaking BONE-chillingly intense show. They had a dead-serious, pared down, all business air about them that I just loved. I really like the huge ending followed by the slow, almost languid, horns down. Awesome, awesome...

I saw a vid somewhere (youtube, probably) that I liked. It's like the usual 'alternate hand and foot against a swing ride pattern' exercise but: Alternating left hand and right foot (for ex), swing ride w/right hand, - the first time you play swung 8ths - the second time you play quarter-note...

I was touring in 1985, Star's first year, and there indeed was a lot of negative talk about them. "The best staff money can buy.." etc. I personally didn't like them on a basic aesthetic level, notwithstanding their corporate sponsorship. That Disney show was disgustingly vanilla to me, and...

Wow. I personally have never seen a set of Superstars of that vintage in such great shape. I had one for a while that I loved, but it had rash and scratches all over. Those are gorgeous. Standard sizes?

Or his girlfriend.

Man, that sounds killer! I toured in 85/86 and used to love it when we'd share a facility with other corps. In Bloomington in 85 we were staying with Suncoast, Star of Indiana, Garfield Cadets and a couple of others for a few days. I have some great tapes of those corps' lines and horn...

Haha, yeah, it's completely all over the road. For some reason I kind of like that, though - I like that bygone loose attitude about capturing a vibe or attitude and not worrying about it being perfect. That section though, wow - it's pretty bad.

Well, okay - if you're going to press me for an answer, I'll just say simply that using Meryl Streep's FICTIONAL character - a heartless, greedy, ruthlessly ambitious person of questionable talent - to support your position on the Buddy Rich tapes....well, it's a bit of a stretch. You clearly...
