Hi, I’m Dave. You’ve found my music, culture, library and information issues, Wisconsin politics, whatever-comes-to-mind blog. I also post about drumming at Drumtumblr and contributed this series of posts on Jeff Buckley at One Week // One Band. As for the title of this place:
Nick: Check it out, man. That’s, uh, 14 mounted toms, 8 floor toms, 4 splashes, 2 gongs, 10 cowbells, 4 rides, 5 snares, a rototom rack, and it’s all mounted on my infamous quadruple kick drum system. Six more pieces and I got a bigger set than Neil Peart from Rush, yeah.
Lindsay: That’s great, Nick.
Nick: Teachers want us to work, and I say, “Fine, I’ll work.” But you’ve gotta let me do the kind of work that I wanna do. And for me, it’s my drum kit, man. This is my passion. This is the essence of who I am now. But before I had this, I was lost, too. You see what I’m saying? You need to find your reason for living. You’ve gotta find your big, just gigantic, drum kit.
