So, I’m a drummer. Not only that, but I’m a drummer in a damn great band. So, as a drummer, I need a kit. Working tools. A magician’s tools.

I picked up a Ludwig Custum Accent kit, wine explosion is the color. 5 piece kit: snare, two mounted toms, one floor tom, one kick bass.

Then, I picked up cymbals. Sabian medium crash: 14″, 16″, ride and 14″ hi hats.

Just for fun, I also picked up a Wuhan china. Big, fat, dirty Wuhan china cymbal. Aw yeah.

I’ve also got two special bits. One’s a titanium Zildjian splash. The other, your standard cowbell. And yeah, I use the cowbell. You just can’t get enough cowbell.

Now, when I got my cymbals, I knew I wanted another floor tom. A HUUUUUUUUGE floor tom. I wanted it for that big sound I’d need when playing the Cthulhu rant during Riot in the Miskatonic Morgue.  I ordered it at West LA Music and they told me it would arrive in two weeks. Two weeks came and went… no floor tom.

I called. They told me the 18″x18″ floor tom was on back order… until February. Now, this was back in September. So, I was dismayed.

Then, on Monday, West LA Music gave me a call. My big tom was in. It came in early. Just in time for the holidays.

My kit is now complete.

And so, ladies and gentlemen, I give you…
