New Snares, Piles of sessions, and SNOW!

So in the last couple of weeks, a lot has happened! I have been working on some of the fun new developments for this year (which only time will reveal those!), I played a couple of sessions, gigged a little in town, I bought a new snare, and it snowed. In reverse order . . .
Snow is a rare thing here, so when we get it, it’s awesome. I will admit, being in the south and being ill prepared for it, makes for some easily ’snowed in’ scenarios. I had to shovel our driveway, and a chunk of the street we live on so we could get out. Even so, it snowed friday, we finally got out on monday – but it was tons of fun !

I recently acquired a 6.5 x 14 Risen Drums (black beauty style) brass snare. It has the cool tube style lug casings on them, trix throw off, and I put on a 42 strand snare wire. it sounds killer! Sessions and gigs have been rolling along as normal, and I am loving all the playing that I am getting to do. It’s so awesome! between that, practicing, and working on secret underground things, it stays busy here! HopefullY I’ll have a few pictures up soon of my snares. I love them all :)

cheers!
