lj - Lose that sack of sticks you have muffling the floor tom shell. Listen to the difference after you remove it! The sound of the drum will open up.

John,
Yes, thanks for the tip on the stick bag, I have seen that mentioned in another thread here before.. I'll give it a try, bad old habit I guess...

Cheers
John

John.. I reckon that would sound like a bomb going off, Loving Spoonful it Aint.

FFR.. I'm not much with the camera but heres a couple.. it's a bit squeezy back there..

Stevo.. the "real" from behind the kit shot is for you.. 4 to the bar..

Cheers
John
Thanks for thinking of us long john with the shot of the bar.

Seem to remember spending a few hours sitting there a while back,
a great time had by all!!!
