I'm in love with your drum kit.

[dirtyknobs]

Yeah, that's some great shit. If I was employed and was actually playing shows, I'd probably pick one up.

Also, Brit rock? Really? I guess that wouldn't have been my first descriptor of WTAFS. Then again, what the hell do I know about Brit rock? If it's not Bloc Party or Radiohead, I'm out in the cold.

brit rock = andy olson's description of wtafs way back in the day. i think he said we sounded like oasis.

[dirtyknobs]

Ah, I see. I guess I blocked that dude and his zany world-view out of my mind.

I demand a picture of this drumset. What I have seen on Perfect Duluth Day didn't do it any justice.

sincerely,

That's brilliant.

Did you make yours?

sincerely,

Dave

no... didn't make these. that's a little out of my league.

i have the same set he's playing. they were made by a company in mpls. in the 80s and early 90s.

all the drums and my cymbals fit in to one bag. the stands fit in to a gym bag.

everything can be carried in one trip. it's perfect for a lazy, fat fuck like myself.
