J's new setup. impulses ftw!

Wait,
new heads, and hats?

What are the specs on the new hats? And what splash is that, looks cool?

oh I've these heads on for a while. I just flipped over my head combo. the J1s are on the bottom.

the splash is very weird. It's called Glennie's Garbage. She is a famous percusiionist that happens to be deaf!
it is a weird sounding cymbal.. it's also a silver/nickel allow.

Woah, cool. How did you manage to get that for less than a dime?

what are the aux hats in your photo's?

ohh wel the splash technically isn't mine yet...
but I traded an old boom stand I had for these 14" solar hats. I'm going to hand hammer them myself. I have the tools. (inspired by Bettis). but these hats actually sound good enough as they are to stay on the kit!!

Oh nice,
I have a set of those hats kicking around, I was thinking of doing something with them. What tools do you need?

a ball pein hammer and I'm using a trailer hitch ball to hammer the cymbal on.

Nice, let me know how that works out. I might try it.

alright will do!
I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Pretty cool. That dream looks like it has a really flat profile.

interesting setup.

also interesting that you put your felt strip on the outside of the head.... i put mine on the inside...

yeah the setup is just like having two floor toms only.. and with aux hats in the tom position. well obviously. i don't know why I just explained that..

haha it just seems more practical on the outside, even though everyone has there's on the inside.

Yeah, and nothing like putting it on, putting the head back on, tuning it up. Then discover you want it shifted a bit.

yeah, i mean, as long as you get the sound you want, that's all that matters....

yeah true true.
It looks dumb I guess. or not really..

Doesn't it sort of defeat the purpose of the Fiberskyn; an open boomy sound? I don't think I'd go with a Fiberskyn on my Metro kit, a bit too boomy for my liking. Doesn't sound all that nice to me, it may sound better from out front.

no believe me, it is incredibly open and boomy. ask anyone that's played it!

That looks awesome J! I want to make a trip to TN for Forks, MDS, and to jam on your kit. K?!

thanks man!!

haha definately man. I would love that.

matt still has to come play my kit sometime...

I don't think my parents would be okay with someone I know from teh interwebz coming down into my basement to play drums with me...

haha me niether ¡This Cheese is Burning Me!

haha, i'm not a creeper. i promise.

ha I know.
we should meet up at forks again sometime soon..

gimme a couple weeks to scrounge up some change from the couch cushions....

sure thing.

I don't know if the hammering will go well on the solar hats, bettis uses top notch B20 alloy but the solars are eugh! I personally hate them (solars) but each to their own!
Its an interesting set up none-the-less! The splash looks really good!
