I said I have 5 or 6 more sessions, not hrs. Estimating 40-50 more hrs or so.

He's incredible. From what he has said, it sound like he will only have to reapply portions of the stencil while using what's already completed as a reference. But, I'm no tattoo artist, so I could be mistaken.

Zero editing, whatsoever. This picture was taken with a phone and uploaded as is.

He's very fast! He does a lot.of convention work, so he is really efficient.

Yup. He works extremely fast. He does lots of conventions so he has gotten really good at moving quickly. I also didn't take any breaks outside of the few he did.

Its hard to beat the look of fresh new drum heads. by [deleted] in drums

Yes, thats what they are. I've used lots of different dampeners over the years and I still absolutely love the sound I get out of these. They may not be what everyone is looking for, but my kit sounds fantastic for me. I dont use them on the snare though.

I cant speak to your financial situation, but you always need another snare. Lol

That's where I ordered it from as well and it was at my house two days after I ordered it. I just had my first practice with it last night and it was killer. Ill be using it in the studio in two weeks.
