1:35 ... what are you tying to say about drummers dave.....?

[DAVEWEINER]

exactly what i said, most drummers don't have a lot of music theory background. It's really refreshing to work with one that does.

[capsaicinrain]

that's a neat riff

what kind of pickups do you use?

[DAVEWEINER]

Those p-ups are Dimarzio Bluesbucker 7s.

[RNRDOLL]

Yeah or when they stay at your place, they friggin make chocolate milk at 4 am and you wake up hearing the spoon clanking against the glass for 10 minutes straight! lol. Such animals!

[genshikashmir]

Mmmm... That 7 string seems like it would be AMAZING for playing slap style...

[mooktank]

Drummers are ALLL much less intelligent than ALLL guitarists.

[JerichBlakk]
