It’s all about me!
Oh my God! We fell in love with a house on Saturday! Most of the ones we’d seen simply weren’t big enough, but this one had loads of space, and the layout was perfect. An internal garage means I can practice my drumming (hopefully we’ll have understanding neighbours!) and we’ve got enough bedrooms that friends and family can come and stay without getting in the way.
We’ve already put one offer in and had it turned down, so we’re onto our second offer now. Keeping fingers crossed about that one…
Found this pic on the MD site. I’m thinking that it might have to be the finish I get on my Mapex Orion kit when I get it.
Blegh, gastric flu is not something I would wish on anyone! In case you hadn’t guessed, I came down with it last week. Spent the whole of Tuesday night up vomiting, even when I’d actually emptied my stomach. Not nice…
I’m just about feeling better now.
I gave my first drum lesson on Saturday. Teaching a little lad who’s never touched a drumkit before. Started him off on a nice simple quarter note pattern, which he picked up really quickly! I was actually quite nervous about it, hopefully as I do it more that will not be a problem. I’ve got another one starting this coming Saturday.
Finally headed up the Black Panther with Power Centre Reverse Dot batter and Glass 500 snare side heads. Sounds awesome!
In other news, Katie and I are planning to buy a house! Well, more than just planning, we’ve got some viewings already booked for this week and weekend. Seeing one on Wednesday (although probably a no goer due to the lack of garden) and seeing five on Saturday afternoon. Hoping that we fall in love with one with a cellar, as that would be ideal for practicing drums!
Wow, I can’t believe it’s been nearly a month since my last post! I had a great Christmas and New Year, and one of my New Years Resolutions is going to be to post more on my blogs.
I also treated myself to a Janus Ergo Hat hihat stand, it’s great, smooth and responsive, although it took a little getting used to.
