Sorry its late, but merry christmas and have a happy new year to everybody!
I have a feeling that 2005 is going to be a better year for myself and for all.
I am ever improving my drumming skills and lets hope 2005 will be a prosperus year.

With all the family around at christmas time, we have had to make some changes around the house. My drum kit is now in the back room, and because of the lack of space, i now have a slightly different setup. Here are some new pics:

Latest ALbum News.

Ok, here is the situation. We have been unable to yet record anything because of certain side projects that have had priority over all else and now since college is now closed until january 4th, it seems that january the 4th will be the earliest we can loan a 4 track recorder and get some stuff down. So, i will keep ya'll updated and have a very happy christmas if i dont speak until then. -Wadey

New Album

Good news my friends, there is an album in planning. I say planning, me and Rio are going to start recording next week (hopefully) to mini disc and we will just write a bunch of songs and record them. Once we have a good few tracks, i simply take the mini disc into college and use the equipment there and burn it to CD.

I will keep info up here as to what happens. :)

A new start.

Today, me and my good friend and calaborator, Ryhad, started workin on some new stuff, after the breakup of Purple Ink. I mean, were not a band, were more partners. if we could find other people to jam with us, maybe then we might be a band. But yeah, we started on some new material. the first song were working on is a really mellow accoustic song. Very mellow.
For those who have heard us play before, and are used to our style of music, this is very different. Even I am singing in it. Thats how different it is.
When we have finished it, i will see if i can get a recording of it done to put up here because it is such a beautiful song.

My drums:

This is my drum kit. Its a very old Tama kit. When I got it, it cos me £100 second hand, and i got;
1 x 22" bass drum,
1 x 12" tom
1 x 13" tom
1X 16" floor tom
1 x 13" snare,
1 x 14" hi-hat
1 x 16" Meinl crash
1X 20" Meinl ride.

Of course, since then I have added a lot and changed the setup quite a few times. The picture you see above is my full setup. I have a practice setup aswell, because I dont have a lot of space wher my drum kit is, i have two main setups.
