6 hours in the studio just to tune the drums, this album's going to be the shit!

I just got back home from Highway Recording Studios on the ridge. Stan's still there with Phil working on getting the drums just right. We start recording on Monday. Here are some photos I took today.

I started writing out the songs that I want on this album... These three triplets looked like a good visual-start to the project. EDIT.


Back in the studio, what, two years later? Three? No, it couldn't be.


For this album I'll be using a combination of amplifiers. Stan just got this vintage peavey that I was playing around with today. It's got a solid state AND tubes!


Stan had to test out the drums to make sure the levels were right.


But before we setup the drums I had to go outside and polish the cymbals. Ah, the life of a rock star. Some of the cymbals were getting so hot in the sun, the polish was caking off. I almost dropped the ride cymbal when I tried to pick it up. HOT HOT HOT. Ok, so that's pretty much it for today. We start recording on Monday. Be on time!
