At the risk of being self indulgent, here's my latest work:

Thanks so much for sharing your work, Plankton. I've listened to many of the tracks so far and am astounded by your playing. You create this incredible roar of rock 'n' roll and yet, your rhythmic sense, which is really advanced, remains intact and spot on all the way. 30 years experience or no, most players don't reach your level of versatility. Thank you again and I hope you are as justifiably proud of your work as I am pleased to be listening to it.

Thank you for the kind words. I don't think I'll ever be 100% pleased with anything I do, but I am pleased that you like it.

It could be because I find it blasphemous for my amp to sit at anything below 11.

If you were my kid Frowny, we'd be jammin every chance I had.

Not to change the subject, but I was just looking for electric Ukes and came across this:

Gretsch Guitars G9126-A.C.E. Guitar Acoustic-Electric Ukulele with Gig Bag | GuitarCenter

I think I might pull the trigger. A late Xmas gift to me, actually it'll have to be VERY late since I have quite a few bills to pay first. Oh ponder.

I'm lucky that way -- my mom teaches music, and I've literally been playing the piano since before I could walk. My parents have always encouraged me in that direction. Dad even payed half of my amp's price.

I mean, they've bought me instruments before and were encouraging with it. I think they're just afraid of what I've become.

Picked up a 16 inch trash crash cymbal and a 10 inch splash cymbal today with my Christmas money. I was too cheap to buy any stands, so I working on MacGyvering at least one (I'm likely to use the splash as an addition to my snare like Chris Corsano or Paal Nilseen-Love does). Played on them for a couple hours already, very pleased with them.

Really cool, I love street drum setups. I was thinking of making my own soon, and learn on my drum skills. Not really into using an actual drum set with a bass and hi hat, but getting a good technique going with my hands. Have you looked into these guys? I really, really want one.
