For more information regarding this series, please refer to the video description for "Bulletproof".

This is fun ditty that sounds halfway between something you'd hear in a Tarantino flick then a surf movie; it's also the first tune that I tracked for Nick's album. I came up with a quick intro to kick it off. I was going for a more 'jazzy' overall sound so I used a piccolo snare, coated heads on the bass drum -- with felt beaters -- and tom-toms and my 18" flat ride. It was mixed by a pro, so the end product sounds a bit different but I've the isolated drum track on my website ('misc'/equipment lists).

[shaftninja]

@Mudn1nja E-mail TRX, they'll hook you up.

[SAMPENINGTON]

havin never played a flat ride could you tell me what you're gonna get out of a flat ride as a pose to a conventional ride?..

[shaftninja]

@SAMPENINGTON Just as I responded when someone raised the very same question on my session video for Cyclamen's "Devoid", "The video didn't suffice? Haha."

I'm here because of Nick Johnston, he is fucking amazing, and i am officially obsesses with orbins drumming on this album. If you want to hear some of the best the world has to offer when it comes to talented musicians, than this album is def for you.

@yngmalm Wow, what a comment - thanks so much!

[jacksdrumshop]

[nickjohnstonguitar]

@yngmalm Thanks a lot buddy! :D

@SAMPENINGTON They give a really good and consistent stick attack, and you really have to lay into them to get any kind of wash when riding on them. When you crash them, they have a pretty quick decay.

[shaftninja]

@CherubicGuardian Yes, I've worn them since 2004 or 2005 - quite comfy.

[shaftninja]

@Massy012 Of course not; have at it, have fun!

[yOURCHRIST]

Bass does indeed need to go up a little.

@SAMPENINGTON just a different sound is all really
