Rants of a professional drummer and recording engineer.

January 13, 2008

broke a 1/2″ piece of steel with my bare hands…

Wow I guess the millions of hits on my kit take their toll. I was setting up for a gig a couple of nights ago and my ride cymbal was a little off alignment. I grabbed it to adjust the boom arm and the boom arm snapped in two! This is a piece of steel which is 1/2″ thick! I barely grabbed it too. I suppose a couple of decades of pounding on the thing weakened the steel or something. Maybe it was frozen but still that’s wild.

I'm a professional drummer, sound engineer and golf freak. Some thoughts that leak out of my cranium end up here. Some material here may not be suitable for children or idiots who don't have a sense of humor.
