I'll be honest with you, I hate tuning drums. So I
don't. Do I have a drum tech? No. I have a friend who loves drums and
pities me. With a heart bursting with love and pity he goes over the kit until
it is unrecognizable. The drums become a great joy to play and my debt to John
deepens. Recording time draws nigh and the drums will need new heads. I hate
putting on new heads. So I don't. Do I have a drum tech? Etc.
Patrick submitted the artwork for Sleepnovox (now
one word, still hurts a little) with varying degrees of success. Right now he
is waiting on a response from the manufacturer's Technical
Support.
