Last night and the night before were 2 of the more challenging gigs I've ever played. In Amsterdam, we played an extremely boomy room and only 1 of the 3 vocalists in the band had mics. I had a pretty boomy jazz kit to work with, on top of things. My @bigfatsnaredrum toys arrived the day I left for this tour and they saved me in Amsterdam. Last night in London, the kit was completely dead. Heads were beat. Snares were tangled and broken. Floor tom had more tape on it than I could remove. The snare went from sounding like a broken piccolo to sounding like #mickfleetwood. Thank you #bigfatsnaredrum You saved the day!
