| I've been in the same boat! Last year I recorded some "drum performances" and stuck them up on the net. So far, I've gotten two full-length CDs from individual artists with a "vision" and a whole handful of "one-offs". Here's the link for the individual tracks feed://cc... |

If you get outside the feeling of music then you are subject to forces within your own brain. Your inner critic can take over "Am I rushing/dragging?" "Am I doing this right?"
If things are grooving along then you needn't worry about it at all. |

I've been having problems with Verizon, Blackberry, PocketMac and the ability to sync my phone with my computer.
Out of frustration I created a website http://verizonhatesmacusers.com
I'd appreciate if anyone wants to register with the site, so that I can present them with a show of support. |

Anything that is "upper-line" like Zildjian A's, K's, Z's (do they still make those?) Sabian HHX, AAX, AA, HH, those kinds......are B20.
B8 bronze is more coppery colored.
And you should not clean Paiste with anything other than lemon pledge and windex. They have a lacquer finish. |

| You needto go be seen by a chiropractor. Something could be out of place and you risk damaging it if you continue to ignore it. Just because your mom has CTS does not make you "inherit" it. Oh, and find an instructor that can help you work out the obvious technique flaw you are dealing wit... |

| Do not use these chemicals on anything except B20 bronze. B8 Bronze has a coating on it and if you scrub off that coating, your cymbals will turn dark brown. If you want to clean your shiny B8 cymbals, get this- use some fantastik or windex and wipe them down with Lemon Pledge (the furniture wax) af... |
