...if one is not terrified then one must be somewhat out of contact with the full dynamics of what is happening...
...the experience must move one's heart, and it will not move the heart unless it deals with the issues of life and death. If it deals with life and death it will move one to fear, it will move one to tears, it will move one to laughter. These places are profoundly strange and alien.
...the future belongs to the mind.
There is no set rule to avoid being overwhelmed, but move carefully...
Most people live within a very conventionalized set of notions that are deeply imbedded in a larger set of notions.
The human mind is haunted both by the many presences sensed within the self and by a confused sense of self.
that aux. snare is a donoho custom. it's a 14x7.
the shell is really thin and the hardware is really light. i bought it off ebay from donoho. not the best snare i've played, but not bad for the price.
as for the vents, i'm not a huge fan of them. i think it really deadens the drum.
the purple snare in the picture, however is made by finland drums. basically, it's ocdp's old designer. he packed up his shit and moved to finland MN. it's the nicest snare i've ever played.
