		<description><![CDATA[If you get into recording at all, at some point you&#8217;re going to have to learn a bit about acoustics. Now Acoustics, like music, is an art as well as a science, and you could spend the rest of your life (as well as thousands of dollars) studying it and still just barely scratch the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve mentioned this before, but it&#8217;s been a while, so I&#8217;ll re-tell the story. Somewhere along the line I&#8217;ve developed an obsession with recording myself in performance situations. There&#8217;s no substitute for listening back to what you&#8217;ve played with an objective ear in order to learn from your successes and mistakes. I used to post [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A project I&#8217;ve been experimenting with off and on over the years has been adding a foot-operated snare drum to my drumset. This really stems from my goal of playing the role of drummer AND percussionist at the same time in live playing situations. There may also be some boredom motivating it as well!

		<description><![CDATA[My latest drum hardware project has been refinishing some toms to match my bass drum, giving me a full concert setup.
It took a few months, but they&#8217;re finally done! They started life as a Pearl Export, a Pearl Vision, and 2 CB 700s, all in different colors (along with the two Ludwig marching basses). Finally, [...]]]></description>

Flashback one: I opened up my binder full scores for the marching band I&#8217;ve been working with. Around this point in the season, the [...]]]></description>
