bleep bleep bleep

hello yeah its been a while
not much
how bout you?
its been such a long time and i really do...hmmm hmmm hmm (england dan and john ford coley)

need to finish a couple of things. lazyness got the better of me. besides i've been busy with work lately.

first off, my 8" acrylic snare. just bought shorter screws to attach the lugs. drilled the hoop for inserting snare wires. its going to be payday tuesday and i will be dropping by festival mall or market market to buy another head to complete the snare. i've no choice but to use cheapo lazer heads on this snare since i cant buy anything of that size from jb or audiophile.

my snare wood hoop is taking forever to finish. i measured it a while ago and still need 12 plies to finish. i might do it tomorrow too, if im not feeling lazy.

im back into electronics too. im building a fuzz face for our guitarist/song writer and i just finished replacing the wiring and pots for a hollow body guitar that our other guitarist uses. i just finished a small practice amp based on LM386. i just hope i'll have the time to make the amp cabinet.

no word on my bubinga drum shells yet.

im also building a ghetto drum kit composed of a 13" bass, the 8" snare i mentioned above and my bongos as toms. i might add a djembe as a substitute for a floor tom but i dont have money to buy one yet.

finally, im starting production of bamboo ply snare shells. i havent finished the one im working on right now. i'll get to it soon enought and market it. i really need to earn back some of my investments as this hobby is becoming to be A LOT LOT EXPENSIVE
