Finally swapped my heads this morning with the set that I purchased two months ago. Now the toms match the snare, so long as I'm using the Dixon snare. Kinda wish Mapex had a purple finish for their shells to match.

I've always focused on rock and metal drumming, so to play funk and jazz is a bit alien to me. But this stutter pattern John Blackwell plays between the hi hat and bass drum is too good not to emulate.

Tightening up a cover song before trying out my new recording setup. can you guess the song?

Learned the bare minimum editing functionality of Davinci Resolve last night in order to put together a multicam video cover of a song. Still using the EAD10 for audio, but that will soon be significantly upgraded.
