[octoberdays]

what kind of set is this, im currently using a 70s slingerland and would like to get a new set that i wouldnt mind taking places

[octoberdays]

It's a Gretsch Renown Maple. Definitely worth getting. Amazing drums.

[minifox13]

damn this is great but i wish you didn't like muse

[octoberdays]

Ha! why? We're all entitled to a little guilty pleasure right? My affection for Muse comes from good memories of discovering them around when I was introduced to Radiohead in mid-high school. Sometimes it's hard to let those things go. And sometimes a drummer just wants to hit hard. =)  Thanks for the kid words!

[octoberdays]

*kind words. =]

@minifox13 lol my thoughts exactly.

Wow, your friend is extremely lucky. I'd love to see Maps live. I bought both of their CD's. Maybe there is a way I can send the files.

[ToVisitOctober]

This may seem weird, but by any chance would you consider playing a song called "Every place is a house" by Maps & atlases?

[octoberdays]

I've been meaning to get into those guys for quite a while! My friend is in a band called So Many Dynamos and he is currently touring with Maps!

I checkout that song and I love it. I will have to download all their stuff somehow. I would love to take a stab at playing their stuff. =)

[nerohj]

nice one! was curious what you mean by wheel drum? never heard of it and a brief search just came up with car parts. :)

[octoberdays]

=) yeah. It's a car part. This one is for a small wheel from a small riding lawn mower or something. Found at a scrap yard. Everything makes a noise. =)

[ToVisitOctober]

Ah. Sorry for all the questions. Haha. What do you use to edit your videos before you make them into the movie? I like the banner in the beginning of your videos.

[octoberdays]

iMovie came with my MacBook. It's really cheap, bad editing software, but it get's the job done. It comes with all those banner titles and stuff.

No worries and thanks!

[ToVisitOctober]

Lol, just realized you are using those sticks for jazz. I have a pair as well. Hmm. So how are you playing your music in the background? Are you using stereo and speakers?

[octoberdays]

Music is not in the background. It's in my ears with in-ear monitors (or fancy small ear buds). Then I put the song over the video footage on my computer. =)

[ToVisitOctober]

Ha. i like it man.

[octoberdays]

Thanks Afton! That means a lot coming from you! =)

[BlackBreegull]

Never have I seen a simple rhythm played in such a beautiful way! I've never heard of St Vincent, but I loved this video sooo much!

5 stars!

[octoberdays]

Wow thank you so much! =) She is not widely known but I think it's only a matter of time before that's different. Thanks again!
