If you intend to build one from scratch, certainly it will require at least some basic carpentry skills. However, there is at least one vendor that sells the fEARfuls in a kit form. With a few basic tools and a little common sense anyone can put one together and you will still save huge bucks...

tell the singer to sneeze on the keyboard player. it's all about perspective...

When did tribute bands start deserving respect?

I can usually tolerate some noodling at a rehearsal. We are all guilty of it at one time or another. BUT, I played a couple gigs with this one guitar player that really drove me nuts. He would play a riff from the song we were about to play. Kinda do a mini-practice before the song. This...

Finished my 12/6 this past weekend. Can't wait to give it a test run with the full band! Looking forward to stacking a second 12/6 on it later this year. Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed

From where I sit, you should be thankful you have SIX drummers to choose from! My drummer has a host of issues I try my best to overlook because in my neck of the woods there is simply no other option. I'm hoping one of these days a drummer who is lost will pull in my driveway and ask for...
