Thanks for adding me!! I was looking for some cool people to connect with. There are so many great people on here and it’s my pleasure to have you as a friend on my page. Musically, Jay
SWEET! Yes it is nice to have different sounding kits for sure. That way you never get bored. My ash kit has a completely different sound to my walnut kit. Ash is crisp and focused and the walnut is round, dark and warm.
Thanks for adding me Eric. Love your song Cavalcade! And your drumming is very impressive. Hope you visit my space and leave a comment of my work. Keep in contact & drummin'!
