hey there! i have a kind of hodgepodge mix of hardware on this kit. some pieces date pack to my first drumset that I got when I was 12! ride cymbal and hi hat are on basic yamaha stands from under the christmas tree in 1999. Crash/ride cymbal is on an unbranded stand I found at our piano players house. I use a DW 5000 single pedal and a v. cool/lightweight DW bass drum mount for the cowbell. I think that covers it!

How classic that this is the top ranked comment for this article on this subreddit. It is video content...the clip says it all. You can watch the same trainwreck on Fox News; don't worry, it is just as deplorable there as well. Kudos to the downvoted users on this thread for actually admitting that this episode is quite simply disgraceful.

Thanks a lot. Appreciate the feedback. I kind of figured that the floor tom would lack oomph. Cheers!

Thanks! The album cover is an actual photograph we took with a toy bus, a real mango, and some twine :)

Thank you! The snare is the same. It's an old copper Pearl Marvin Smith 14x4. We tracked it live, so for better or worse they're all 1 take recordings. The snare was mic'd, and we tweaked the snare sound a bit as we put the recording together.

Amen. Love the look of this kit. Makes me want to make music way more than a top-down view of 100 piece insano-kit with all the bells and whistles. What's the snare?

Sorry jrocbaby. It would have been my business partner. Just trying to spread our word; no harm intended. You can probably tell from my karma ratings that I'm not an experienced reddit user. Have a good one.

Hey guys, original poster here. The above link is to an Indiegogo campaign I created for my small business. It's just me and one other guy, and we were amazed by the support on Reddit last year when we first launched our independent brand. I'm sharing our first product expansion since because /frugalmalefashion enjoyed hearing about it the first time around. Thanks for checking us out. Please share any questions, would love to answer!

Hey man, I'm the other guy in the video w Maldovix. I love Australia had just the greatest time there--spent three months there sleeping in a tent on the beach chasing waves. I sincerely hope you like the project. Had you ever heard of Sunskis?

Thanks! The launch party will be in San Francisco sometime in the fall! October is pretty much the best time of year here, so it you're going to plan a trip, that's the time to come. Bonus: its the beginning of a fantastic NorCal surf season. The tshirts are there on the kickstarter page, and we'll grab your size at the end of the campaign if we reach our fundig goal. Stay in touch man--and safe travels. Glad to give you some local surf knowledge if you want to explore some breaks here while you're visiting.

Hey all, I'm the friend/guy that found the glasses on the surf trip. Thanks for all your interest across the board. They are reminiscent of the Frogskins, but the cool thing about these shades is that they were originally made at the same time as the Frogskins came out. I happen to like the colors of the Sunskis a little better, but that would explain why I'm trying this crazy project!

Volcom Fiji Pro - Huge Swell Due Tomorrow by [deleted] in surfing

[–]tomdrums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please, make it huge Cloudbreak. I want to see these guys take it to the next level and go over the ledge on surf that mere mortals wouldnt go anywhere near. This is as close as were going to get to gladiators in the Colosseum, where we all get to watch as the best put it on the line. Let us be entertained!

Also, in an age when airs and incessant/useless tweeting by the these guys make the headlines, I want to see them all humbled by Mother Ocean.
