I thought this day would truly never come. I am getting a brand new drum set! After four years of rhythmic hunger, the clouds have actually developed a platinum lining. Behold, a masterpiece made of %100 maple:

CX Series 5-Piece Maple Drumset in Blue Onyx
Features:
- DW all-maple 8-ply shells
- Wood bass drum hoops
- Suspension-style tom mounts
- 22″ x 18″ bass drum
- 10″ x 9″, 12″ x 10″, and 14″ x 12″ toms
- 5″ x 14″ snare
- Snare stand
- 402 double bass pedal
- DW 820 Double-braced boom cymbal stand
- DW 820 Double-braced, 2-leg rotating hi-hat stand
- DW 700 Series Straight Cymbal Stand Pair
- True-Pitch® Tuning System w/ bass drum muffling pillow
I get everything you see except for the extra floor tom (maybe later) and the cymbals. For cymbals I will probably go with a complete set of Paiste 802’s: 14″ hi-hats, 16″ crash, 20″ ride, 10″ splash, and a 18″ china. I’ve played on them before and was suprised by their warmth. After a set of cymbals, this baby will be fully ready to play. I mean, the bass drum is even already muffled. Wish me luck cause it’s gonna be hard to get me to leave the house.

I want everybody to head up to the square this friday night. Ross and I are going to be playing a minimum 3 hour set on the gazebo beside the courthouse. We’ll be playing a ton of covers and probably a few originals mixed in. We can also take some requests on the spot if you want to come up and give us a run for our money. Actually, if you want to hear something played, go ahead and leave it as a comment to this post. According to Stead, they are gonna rig us up pretty well, and we will probably be airing some of the performance remotely on 94.7. Come on out and bring a friend. This is G-town afterall. I know you have nothing better to do.

One step in the dark
Touch her hand just to see
If she’s all alone again
Still she hasn’t seen sun
But I promise you now when she wakes
There will be none
Don’t know how she gets by
Sleeps with a phone on her chest
And a bottle that’s totally dry
Forgets the day I was born
But if she saw me right now
She would hold me until we both die
I could be the one who would die to
feel you breathe
I could break into a million pieces
So just run as fast as you can for me
You mean everything
I can’t deny her. I’ll do whatever
To stop all the bleeding that makes
her world so red
Such a delicate one
She screams so loud that I run to
hide from the sound
And I could be the one who would die
to feel you breathe
But it’s too far-gone
And this love must die
Good lyrics. Great song. Name the band and song without using a search engine, my comments, or anything. Then, you will be cool in my book.
