yesterday, i had the pleasure to briefly meet an old friend and colleague of mine.
we had initially been introduced at college, a good while back.
he recently moved to germany, berlin even, and goes by the name of chris farr .
as cool as it was to meet him again, my point here is his mention of this guy mike, who is doing something called swan drums.
innovators unite. lovely!
cheers.
being idle is a curious thing.
away from it all for almost 10 days now i realize
a) i need to be around music, musicians and, well yes, DRUMS!
b) my ears seem to sharpen. i hear rhythm in unlikely situations. weird but groovey patterns in watertanks, cooling fans, my own steps on the gravel up or downhill.
can’t wait to get back and free my sh*t up even more 
addendum to the kit i made from acrylic shells, with pearl parts and bits (see right here):
this is what it looks like boxed up for travel.
the back pack contains only textiles for me to wear
oh, yes, hihat and three cyms 15-18″ are hiding in that snare case as well.
