very nice! what crash cymbal do u use?

[ChrisBakerDrummer]

@2BigBoom The left crash is a 16" K Custom Dark Crash. The right one is a 17" A Custom Crash. The ride is a 22" Dream Contact series ride (which crashes really nicely, also)

Very good sound, I liked ... I'm listening every day.

I dig that bassist too haha!!

As always nice groove throughout the song. Lovely to watch.

The only downside about it is not hearing the bass drum because it would highlight even more your performance. The way you use the bass drum is just my style, on the spot ;) Just put it a bit higher, just my 2 cents.

All the best
