jesper,

first vinyl release? congratulations, that is very impressive. is this a solo project or do you have bandmates?

please tell me a little more about the pearl syncussion items ... i know that prince's drummer used them but i have never been fortunate enough to actually play or see one up close ... do you have the brain as well?

i find myself becoming a electro-collector, concentrating on simmons stuff ... but damn, i want a syndrum setup like yours now!

Nope, unfortunately not. But I've thought about a custom wall stand to hold
all my pads (5 Simmons toms, one Simmons bass, Pearl Syncussion twin pads,
Simmons SDS-IV twinpads, Simmons SDS-1 (x2), Pollard Syndrum (x4))

I'd let you know, but cheap stuff I tend to snatch myself. I hate having to
consider shipping but mostly VAT on imports. Otherwise that set I mentioned
would've been min 'cause I thought that far too much of a bargain!
