Real Love

I love NOTHING more than I love music and drumming. NOTHING. 
Bad day? I turn the volume up on my iTunes and sit at my kit. 
Good day? I turn the volume up on my iTunes and sit at my kit.
This is forever.

Snare Drum Wishes and Canon 5D Dreams

Three hours of this? Yeah, I've definitely assaulted my neighbors' ears enough for one day. I think I need to learn how to soundproof my drum room. 

Well, speaking of things I need...I finally put a wishlist together for my upcoming birthday. Here we go:
-Tama Rhythm Watch
-Vic Firth SIH1 Isolation Headphones
-Tama Stewart Copeland SC145 Signature Snare (It won't happen this year, but I can dream, right?)
-Tama Practice Pad Stand
-Evans Wing Nut Drum Key (because my drums are woefully out of tune and I lost my original drum key.)
-Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR Camera (This effing camera has been on my wanted list for YEARS. And if that Stewart Copeland snare is beyond my means, I'll be waiting a long ass time before this camera is anywhere near my reach.)
-ITunes gift cards and/or an Amoeba Records gift certificate (because I want all the music. ALL THE MUSIC.)
-Lucky Brand Bambi Ankle Booties (Yeah, shoes. I am a girl after all.)

Everything Under The Sun Is In Tune

This past week has been all about feeding my now full-blown drumming addiction. Whether I'm adjusting my setup, doing independence exercises or trying to nail the fills in my favorite songs, it's not been easy to tear myself away from my kit. And I just received a new Meinl crash ride cymbal today, so I'm going to be testing this pretty little baby out the rest of my afternoon!

Also, let me just say how stoked I am that Pink Floyd has been all over the place this month. Box sets and re-releases, a tribute week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon featuring Nick Mason and Roger Waters (sadly, the ever-elusive David Gilmour didn't make an appearance. Grr.), and a ton of magazine features:

Happy Friday!
