Q: What kind of drumset do you use?
A:I use the goodwood mods set! Its amazing. I got them 5-12-09. and I recommend it. You can find it here: www.goodwoodmods.com They have great rebound, a really good sound and feel to them.

Q:What kind of pedal do you use?
A:My pedal is a rockband stock pedal with a layer of diamond plate metal screwed into it to hold it from breaking. it already broke a while ago but the plate holds it together perfectly.

Suicide rescue - Brink of Death on the Brink of Niagara's Horseshoe Fall...

Suicide rescue - Brink of Death on the Brink of Niagara's Horseshoe Falls (Canadian Falls) on the American side next to Goat Island:
This is actual footage captured by tourists and amateur photographers on 19 March 2003, of a 48 yo man from Buffalo, NY, at the brink of Niagara's Horseshoe Falls along Terrapin Point of Goat Island, NY. Earlier that day he lost thousands (borrowed from his father) at newly opened Seneca Nation casino, and was already $600,000 in debt to Casino Niagara in Canada. He was overcome with despair, and left a carefully written note behind saying, "Please tell my parents I'm sorry." The shock of the cold water and swift current jolted him to realize he wasn't ready to die - commonly said by survivors of dramatic suicide attempts, i.e., at the Golden Gate Bridge. At the very last moment before the falls brink, he wedged his feet in a crevice and held on for hours before rescue.
How was he able to stand there or stop his body from advancing to the edge? Rapids above the falls reach a speed of 25 mph / 40 kph. The bottom is jagged and worn slippery smooth (walk on the rocks at three sisters' islands to see how slippery, even when dry). The water at the spot where the man stood was thigh high. At night and in winter 75% of the water is diverted for power (in summer daytime 50% is diverted). At 5:00pm in Summer there is twice as much water, deeper and more violent. How he withstood the water pressure, even reduced, on slick rocks, even jammed in a crack, in ice cold winter temperatures is hard to fathom.
Rescuers approached from an ice shelf jutting over the water. Hightly decorated helicopter pilot, Capt. Kevin Caffery, was known for taking extreme measures to save people in many river and lake rescues (aka, ice fishermen stranded on a breakaway ice flow, landing on a submerged rock to save a woman). Here, Caffery pushed the limits of the single engine helicopter in blinding mist and unpredictably updrafts from the releasing energy of the falling water.
In the water were police Sgt. Pat Moriarty and firefighter Gary Carella. They strained against the current to save him from drowning when he was pulled under the ice shelf by the water. He said to his rescuers, "Let me go, don't kill yourselves, too." He said over and over, "I'm sorry." They managed to pull him to safety. He was admitted to hospital for his injuries and psychiatric help. He refused reporters interview requests. The tape of his rescue is used for training.
Stunters are finned and charged for their rescue. Depression and other illnesses which induce suicide are not illegal and not fined.
*** 4 July
Through a contact, I was told that the rescued man continues to get support (GA) for his gambling addiction.

This event was reported by many local and national news outlets: AP, CBS, Time Magazine, and others. The man's name was not released.
-------------- Suicides at Niagara --------------
Niagara Falls is a very beautiful place on earth. The power and the magesty of the Falls is overwhelming. You can get up close and personal with the Falls in many safe ways. The Maid of the Mist (US and Canada), the Cave of the Winds (US), and Journey Behind the Falls (Canada) are amazing.
Unfortunately, some people go there for other reasons. Every year there is an average of 12 to 18 known suicides at Niagara Falls (not all bodies are recovered) and about 25 a year at the Golden Gate Bridge. Awareness, proper help and the support of friends and loved ones could prevent a vast number of these deaths.
The lure of the Falls for suicide is well documented, but in recent years, the publicity is presumed to inspire more people to choose the Falls as a means to their end. It begs the question, why more isn't done to curb suicide at it's source, and to offer more mental health services - this queston was raised after the college shooting and suicide in VA.
At the Falls, many people, both men and women, have gone into the rapids quietly, calmly, and often without witnesses. Due to the rocks at the bottom of the American (Rainbow) Falls, there is a lure to the expectation of a quick finality and a hope that their body won't be found - although many are pushed out by the force of the water. Often the only facts of the suicide are notes, letters, personal belongings, and clothes left behind.
Over the past 100 years, several people were rescued from the water or rapids between Goat Island and Prospect Point. Usually they were within 100 feet of the shore and 100 to 500 feet from the edge of the Falls. Police, firefighters and friends, used a combination of rope, ladders and wading into the less rough part of the water to get within rescue reach. In recent years, there were several daring rescues, using police and tourist helicopters, from areas not safely accessed any other way.

Niagara Fall's Suicide Jumper Survives Suicide Plunge over Canadian side...

Niagara Fall's Suicide Jumper Survives Suicide Plunge over Canadian side of Niagara's Horseshoe Falls:
A 30 y.o. man from western Ontario, in a suicide attempt, calmly entered the rapids above Horseshoe Falls, at 2 p.m. EDT, 11 Mar 2009, and survived the 170 ft plunge, and the freezing water for another 45 minutes, while evading rescue efforts. The force of the falls completely stripped him of his cloths. First taken to Greater Niagara General Hospital and later, transferred to Hamilton General Hospital, his condition was upgraded from critical to stable, with expectation of a full recovery. Only two other people and one dog are known to have survived the plunge without protection.
Though conscious when taken by ambulance, the man (identity not released) suffered hypothermia and a head injury. He fought off emergency responders from the Niagara Falls, Ont., police and fire departments, who tried to rescue him by helicopter and from the shore. He removed a harness that the helicopter rescuers secured around him, and he swam away from several other attempts. Finally, the helicopter downdraft was used to push him out of an eddy, while a firefighter swam about 50 yards into the Niagara River to grab him. Amazing enough to survive the plunge, the man also survived near certain hypothermia in the freezing water. Large ice chunks flowed around him and an ice bridge still crossed the Niagara river a short distance downstream from him.
Stunters are finned and charged for their rescue. Depression and other illnesses which induce suicide are not illegal and not fined.
Ruedi Hafen was the private helicopter pilot.
There are 12 to 18 suicides per year at Niagara Falls, as compared to about 25 at the Golden Gate Bridge. Many people are rescued above the falls, from suicide attempts and accidents. A known total of 15 people in 15 (planned and admitted) over-the-Falls stunts (2 men did 2 stunts, and 2 stunts were a pair) were performed since 1900. Of those, 9 survived, including the two women and one African American stunters. Six (6) men perished. A turtle survived in one and a dog in another - the dog had it's nose stuck in the only air hole - the man suffocated. An equal number of people attempted but did not succeed in going over the Falls. The first successful stunt was performed on 24 Oct 1901 by Annie Edson Taylor, on her birthday, using a seeled barrel. She used her cat inside a barrel in a test run, which failed. Challengers usually used air holes, and later air bottles to survive till rescue. It is a race against time for air capacity if a barrel gets caught behind the falls after plunging. Only one man attempted a stunt trip over the American Falls, using a 9-foot rubber ball device he built to survive the rocks. He was stopped and arrested before he launched.
On 9 July 1960, 7 y.o. Roger Woodward became the "Miracle of the Niagara" when he survived a Horseshoe Falls plunge, after a boating mishap, with only a life vest and bathing suit for protection. His 17 y.o. sister, Deanne, was grabbed at the top by two tourists as she came along the side of Goat Island, seconds before the falls edge. Boat owner and family friend, James Honeycutt, died. On 20 Oct 2003, Michigan resident and auto parts worker, Kirk Raymond Jones was drinking earlier in the day and became the first person to backstroke over Horseshoe Falls and survive, wearing only his clothes. Entering the rapids in Canada, he calmly smiled at tourists as he went over the brink. People were shocked to see him surface and swim to shore. Despite a judge's decision, Jones has denied it was a planned stunt. In the 1800's a dog was swept over the falls and survived. Other animals are believed to have survived from time to time but were never confirmed.
Horseshoe (Canadian) Falls is the largest of the Niagara falls, that include Rainbow (American) Falls and Luna (Bridal Veil) Falls. Most of the Niagara River is diverted for hydro power generation in Ontario and NY. By a US-Canada treaty, in order to balance Falls beauty, power generation, and reduce erosion, 45 million gallons (6 million cubic ft or 168,000 cubic meters) of water go over the falls every minute during tourist season daytime (50% is diverted), with half of that amount during night and non-tourist season (75% is diverted). Rapids above the Falls reach a speed of 25 mph / 40 kph. The fastest recorded speed is 68mph, at the brink of the Falls.
