So, while on a quest for custom drum sticks (because yes, like my clothes, sticks are also something not made for short people)*, I veered off into searching for something I'd seen as a teenager.... this.

Then I got to wondering...is this just what I do normally with life, manifesting in drums?

I collect and diversify and expand until I reach a breaking point, at which I simplify drastically. This is what's gone on in most of the other areas in my life. Perhaps it's this, too. Maybe I should just learn to play my damn bass pedal faster. If Dave Groehl can do it, so can I.

Still, technology's fun.
