Footage of Mayer from the original writing/tracking session of 'In Repair' with Steve Jordan and Charlie Hunter. Pretty awesome stuff, I thought.

"Dude, that groove is just... disgusting, man!"

Hahahaha.

John Mayer is amazing. Charlie and Steve too, but John seems to have a rare gift. and a lot of effect pedals.

I want to buy something new now. Sad

Very nice Ash, I can't say it's a surprise though

What's your opinion so far, was the soundfile accurate?

You should take some pics of your setup with it. Are you gonna use that and the HD at the same time, or swap them out?

by InSight. Tue Jul 28, 2009 8:55 am

Cheers, Levi.

The clip is very accurate, I'll get my full review and opinion up later this week. Along with more pictures (including set-up) and my own sound file. I love it dearly, I was worried as obviously I hadn't heard it previously in person at any one time. But man, I adore it. And it compliments my HD like a dream.
It's going where my Artisan crash was previously, so both the HD and Extra-Light will be used simultaneous. Along with the Constantinople when it arrives. I got about an hour with it and my sticks tonight as it didn't arrive home with my mum until about 6.00pm, I was worried it may be another day of waiting, but luckily it arrived. And I'll give her a try and band practice tomorrow (and see if they notice it!).
But yeah, more later this week.

OK, can't wait for the pics. I am very jealous of your cymbal setup, and I'll be even more jealous when the K Con comes in.

by Ali G Tue Jul 28, 2009 11:01 am

Ash, you have amazing cymbals. >:0

If you had some spizzes, I;d hate you forever.

by Matt Tue Jul 28, 2009 1:08 pm

Ash, That cymbal is beautiful, congrats on that man.

by Barrett Tue Jul 28, 2009 2:08 pm

Ash, fantastic cymbal...out of all the Paiste Trad. I liked that one the best

by Matt Tue Jul 28, 2009 6:55 pm

I've been listening to the Roots all day, I ended up getting "Game Theory" and "Rising Down" on iTunes, I'm going to have to get "Phrenology" at a store because they don't have the full album on iTunes.

Game Theory is SOLID

by Barrett Tue Jul 28, 2009 7:44 pm

Those are my favorite albums...

Also how does everyone feel about Jack White playing drums with The Dead Weather...personaly I really like the music they are making...idk it just sounds organic and awesome...
also Jack's kit is the wierdest sizes...he has a 5x16 snare...haha

by Matt Tue Jul 28, 2009 10:48 pm

i haven't listened to their music much, i really dislike his kit, the sizes are just too obscure even for jack white.

by Barrett Tue Jul 28, 2009 10:53 pm

That is so funny. That is one of the best ways to describe a kit. But I do admit it would be fun to play it.

However the music is great. It is very organic.

by Barrett Wed Jul 29, 2009 1:01 am

Tim, Matt and I think bretkill is

by sjman409 Wed Jul 29, 2009 1:01 am

this is a pretty young forum then

by Barrett Wed Jul 29, 2009 1:03 am

Yeah it is...no big deal though...I kind of like it that way because we all relate to the same things because we are all around the same age

by Barrett Wed Jul 29, 2009 1:04 am

also have you used the chatbox yet??

by sjman409 Wed Jul 29, 2009 1:11 am

yea a lot of people used it when the forum was brand new

by Barrett Wed Jul 29, 2009 1:13 am

yeah it is hard for people to be one at the same time...

by sjman409 Wed Jul 29, 2009 1:13 am

i'm on right now

I love The Roots. They're so damn funky..Or hip-hoppy. I want to get Phrenology, but can't for the same reason. I've been searching for it, but I can't find it. "The Seed 2.0" is probably one of my favorite songs to jam to.

by Barrett Wed Jul 29, 2009 1:17 am

AJ get on the chat

by Matt Wed Jul 29, 2009 1:32 am

yeah. "The Seed 2.0" is amazing. I really like that song. I'll probably order the CD online, that will probably be cheaper than trying to buy it Best Buy or some place like that.

and yes, I'm 21.

I think Tim and Bretkill both have a few months on me though.
