The Dean ML in my Baker Street play-along vid was prob one of the worst things affected by the fire. My bud Dan Hobbs saw it & accepted the challenge of restoring. I thought it was beyond repair. Here are some photos of his work. Pretty killer! 🔥👍🏼🎉💥

Also the mighty Robert DeLeo on bass, and the icon Joe Perry on the other side of stage. Joe was the only gtrst for this show so it was a whole other vibe playing Aerosmith tunes with just one gtr. So awesome to hear him play his parts on their own! 👍🏼🎉⚡️💥🔥

6/8/10/12 tuned up to Exit Stage Left, or at least in the ballpark. Snare too. Neil’s drum sound on that record is one of my all-time faves! He is so spot on on ESL! Tom mounts aren’t locking in and keep slipping .. (u can see the 6 slipping) it gets annoying and hard to focus

6/8/10/12 all sprayed up! I also sprayed the inside a bit because 3 of the 4 were charred and black. There are tons of inconsistencies on the shells. But they’re way better than they were! I didn’t bother sanding / priming etc.. just cleaned them as best I could and then sprayed.

Cleaned up the Natal snare. Used it in the last cpl drum vids. I tried to tune it to Neil’s Exit Stage Left pitch. I’ll do a snare vid soon. Sprayed the 6/8/10/12 toms n 2nd kik drum hoops w Rustoleum Cherry- they were the only ones that needed it. In the final stretch🥁👍🏼

Doug Aldrich and I have been doing a little bit of jamming recently and today, totally unplanned, I bring my EVH for him to check out and Doug busts out his ‘78 Les Paul Custom and brings it. Our idols Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen spontaneously represented today! 👍🏼❤️🎉

I sprayed the 6” as a test & it’s real close! This kit has taken a beating! Yrs before the fire they flew out the back of a trailer. The tech forgot to lock the door & we went up a hill & the bumps opened the door & the kit slid out down the hill! Rock & roll Spinal Tap style!🤪

Happy belated heavenly birthday to the great Jackie Gleason. (It was yesterday) Gleason was awesome in pretty much everything, but he was entirely off the leash when he played Sheriff Buford T. Justice in Smokey and the Bandit (1977)

Gettin’ jazzy with it… “Mr Traditional Grip”… March ‘80. Leedy Blue Satin Flame 12/14/20/5x14 Old Faithful/ 13 no name blue sparkle tom. Heads off the bottoms based on my 12 year old mind that they would be louder as now the sound can really shoot out of the shells! 🥁👍🏼

Couple more snares cleaned up… Natal aluminum 6.5x14 Thunder Master sig snare. They made this in 2013. Sounds real good! Tama 5.5x14 wood. Got this w a kit of Peart replica Tama Superstars years ago. This also ended up sounding real good. #Remo emperor x #canopus snare wire

Van Halen’s “I’m The One” Play along PRACTICE! I sent this to a friend to show wher I’m at w it. Cpl mistakes. The real version’s audio will be much better. I played drums to this on video so the goal is to put this performance in the video w the drums.

DDrum 7x14 pop bottle acrylic on the kit. Tried another emp x in hopes of more hi/cs coated/vintage emp/ back to emp x. The others lost some throat. It has a little more lows than I like, but the emp x in combo with the wide wire adds the throat & tone!#remo #canopus 42 strand

DDrum 6.5x14 Stainless Steel from around 2008. This thing is heavy! Heaviest drum I own! There’s no logo or badge on it. No serial #. Not one bit of info on it at all?? Maybe it was some prototype they sent me. I can’t remember. Tuned it up, it sounds great! 👍🏼🥁

Vinnie Paul’s Pearl snare he sent me back in 06. This one was scorched in a fire I had. I knew Vinnie since ‘92. Loved everything about his drumming and Pantera! Killer groove, parts, precision, consistency!! Great memories w him! Time to clean this 1 up! RIP VINCE 🥁❤️
