Probably just yapping about music, football, or video games.

I play drums and make records!

I guess there was only ever one place that skateboarding at 30 was going to get me..

Wear your pads, friends.

A couple shots from a show last weekend 🎸

Rocking the bass for this band. I feel like I always look goofy when I don’t have drums to hide behind lol

I really thought I was cooking and then watched the footage back to see how uncomfortable I still look on the board lmao

I’ve been skating about a week, so be nice lol

Here are the 10 democratic Senators that spinelessly sold out our country and capitulated to Trump and the GOP’s absolutely insane spending policy.

Do not forget these names in the coming months. They are going to act like they fought for you, remember that they did not.

I’ll get this thing proper mic’d up soon, but there was no way I was ending the day without hearing it all set up.

There is also another 14” rack tom that I am waiting on some replacement parts for before I can get it in the fold.

I am blessed to live so close to Bill of C&C - and he happened to be free today to let me come bother him at the shop.

Absolutely masterful work on what were some insanely thrashed drums!

Today’s project: Bearing Edges on the Rogers kit

The two rack toms have some gnarly grooves in the bottom edges that will need to be recut. I am pretty handy with drums, but on a vintage edge like this I’ll be taking it to a pro.. will post an update once they’re done!

Spent basically all night polishing chrome. Before and after of the logos, but I forgot to take a before of the lugs (they were pretty crusty but surprisingly only 2-3 were significantly pitting)

Pro tip: crumpled up aluminum foil and coca-cola will get even the toughest grime off chrome.

Okay this is the last one for awhile I think, but I was given an offer I couldn’t refuse..

1971ish Rogers Power Tones. One of the toms has some gnarly grooves in the reso side bearing edge, but otherwise seem to be in great shape! Just need some new heads and a bit of elbow grease 💪🏼

So I rarely use this app to actually promote shows, but if you happen to be in the Kansas City area, my band Strange Relic is playing a double header this Friday/Saturday!

Come say hi! I’m the fat guy behind the drums, and if you mention bluesky I’ll buy you a drink 🤘🏼

This was my, like I assume many others, “gateway band” out of the strictly Christian music I grew up listening to as a kid.

They were still Christian-adjacent, especially in their early stages, but they led me to some more traditional pop-punk and indie bands that shaped my music taste today.

This has absolutely no business being so good. Might be the best candy bar I’ve ever had.

The lighting is so bad right now but I’m too excited not to post.. new (to me) drum day!

These are old Slingerlands. I need to do some more specific dating but I believe they are from the 70s. They sound HUGE.

A little Father John Misty in my practice session today.

Their drummer @drichardbailey.bsky.social is one of my favorites. He’s taught me quite a bit about drum tuning, miking, and processing over the years.

Had to leak a little bit of this mix I’m working on because damn.

I hate glass recycling day (this is approximately half of it all)

One of my resolutions for this year was to be more intentional about my music listening.

I’m going to make a playlist for each month this year, and add any songs that stick out to me. They could be new to me, or songs I’ve heard before and just resonated with me on a relisten.

Here’s January:

My wife is a very talented knitter, and she just bought a new cabinet to hold some of her sweaters. Really impressive seeing them all in one place (and this isn’t even all of them lol)

Pretty proud of just throwing this one together ngl

Broiled for about 5 minutes - I pulled the chicken out here just so I could add a splash of heavy cream and a knob of cold butter to thicken it up
January 8, 2025 at 11:45 PM
Add the chicken back to the mix, and toss some feta cheese on top
January 8, 2025 at 11:45 PM
Deglaze with lemon juice and add a splash of the chicken stock at a time until the pasta is al dente
January 8, 2025 at 11:45 PM
Save the drippings and fond to sauté the onion and pasta

Seared off some chicken thighs in a cast iron pan

This is definitely a basket I can work with..
