I suppose I should get up and face the day. My friend, Babydoc is coming over around 3-ish and we're heading to Fry's to look at some external hard drives for her. She suffered a hard drive crash and has not been feeling very safe, since.

I'm feeling abundantly lazy, at the moment. My drum kit needs to be lugged inside, since I didn't want to carry it in at 2 in the morning last night.

Let the record reflect that the music room at my friends' home is on the top of a detached garage. With narrow and steep stairs. I got a work out last night taking it upstairs, assembling it, and then dismantling it and delicately taking it downstairs to my car. The bass drum was the best.

What have you done with your kit since?

And what are roto's? I have not encountered that term, yet.

My kit was sold to the drummer in the third band, years ago. 10+ years ago. He had been the lead singer in the second band, but he was a natural on the drums, and I had a better voice. So with a new bassist, a new lead guitarist and out trusty R-man, we were ready to rock.

Rotos - Rototoms. They're very compact flat hex shaped 80's drums. Mike P. of Dream Theater still uses them quite extensively. I think they're very neat, but they can also have a very dated sound if not used properly, or if you rely on them too much.
