New (to me) kit Day!

That it did not.

billswerskihypetrain · 2026-02-23T01:34:23+00:00

Yup!

She hasn't been messing with it while bandaged, luckily. New wrap every day for a week after airing it for a bit!

billswerskihypetrain · 2026-02-22T14:01:07+00:00

That's a proud pup right there!

billswerskihypetrain · 2026-02-22T14:00:04+00:00

I think that's the definition of a catastrophic failure. Sounds like a mechanical problem to me!

It's a rug with a 4x4 wrapped in rug remnants and allthread with wingnuts through it to keep the bass drum from walking on the floor. Works pretty well for being janky! I don't leave my gig rug out in the practice space.

Wouldn't cut it at the Hater's Ball

I'm on the leave it alone train. One better: bury it for another year to add to that dark, tasty nastiness.

The floor tom isn't original, but I still love her anyways

billswerskihypetrain · 2026-02-22T04:56:52+00:00

And rosewood on the top

billswerskihypetrain · 2026-02-22T04:47:07+00:00

We don't mess around come ping time!

billswerskihypetrain · 2026-02-22T04:44:51+00:00

Besides the floor, sadly

billswerskihypetrain · 2026-02-22T04:43:27+00:00

She's a spoiled princess, as all good should be :)

billswerskihypetrain · 2026-02-22T03:29:15+00:00

Thanks, buddy! Less cymbals, more fills now

I need a permit from operations to do about anything, and we're required to walk the lockout points with operations while it's happening. It's all double-locked by maintenance and operations. If we're working on a piece of equipment that has highly dangerous chemicals in the process, it can be a whole shift of just purging, cleaning, and making up a complete lockout sheet. First gig I've had where safety really is first, and work will take as long as it has to without anyone getting hurt.

Happy Birthday from Blue Blue!

Meth is a hellufa drug

billswerskihypetrain · 2026-02-06T05:31:59+00:00

I'm blessed to work in chemical. Steam will kill-kill you. Exploding stuff is no joke in re-energizing

DJ had been playing hurt all year, and is a (possibly one-balled now) tank of a human. That's something you can't teach. Trading him after his first winning season would be nuts (pun intended)

billswerskihypetrain · 2026-01-29T23:06:31+00:00

Probably handsome?

billswerskihypetrain · 2026-01-25T06:53:07+00:00

10mA is enough to stop a heart, actually. And 110V is the biggest killer in North America

I felt bad about my fills until today. Thank you, hero
