After some experimentation, I've decided to go back to my original Emperor Coated's for my toms. Those Pinstripes sing like all hell when they're brand-new, but after a few weeks of playing them, they died out relatively quickly and the heads showed remarkable wear (by way of many deep divets - which ultimately effected the overall tone). The attack on them are higher pitched and more cutting (

Valentine's Day rocks! My wife-to-be just hooked me up with a new cymbal that's described as "nasty" by the manufacturer. It is the new Sabian HHX Evolution O-Zone 18" Crash cymbal and it lives up to its rep. It is freakin awesome (as is my lady). It's got 8 2" holes around the shelf of the cymbal and creates the attack of a crash with the decay of a china, plus with a boost of projection. I

It's been a while...In regards to those heads I got from Remo, they're pretty cool, but not exactly what I'm looking for. The Powersonic bass head is pretty sick, yet I already use Aquarian's and I like the thought of nothing on the face of them. I can remove the pad that buttons onto the face of the Powersonic, but why even bother with all of that. The SuperKick II is the best head for the kick

Yeah, I'm still alive guys. I haven't spent much time online for a while now. I don't know, the internet was a blackhole, but life outside has beckoned and I've been drumming a lot. I'm even thinking of giving lessons soon since I have a few interested people.Anyway, the point of this post is to mention that I've acquired a sweet Han Chi 16" china crash cymbal by my awesome girlfriend for my

I can't believe how good my set sounds. I recently bought Remo Emperor (Coated) heads for all my drums (Remo CS 14" batter snare head & Aquarian SuperKick II bass head) and that kicked things up a major notch. I've read all kinds of blah blah about how to properly tune drums heads, yet I never got the exact sounds I wanted from each of them. Then I'm at work and remember seeing drum tuners some

So I decided to delete my myspace profile and there are several reasons why. First of all, it served as a major distraction, in general. A lot of times, I should've been doing other things instead of logging into the service. This would include everything from laundry to jamming. Also, my so-called "friends" rarely ever commented on my music or even bothered to send a "Hello, how's life going?"

Yeah, about this music thing. Well, uh, new shit will be coming eventually. I really haven't been too disciplined about production in a while. I've been playing a lot and working with others now and then. I have also been doing a great job at beating the piss outta my gear, though. Also, life is life: started a new career and have a domestic (that sounds so lame) relationship to nurture. In the

I haven't been keeping up with this weblog, but who cares. I'm officially addicted to myspace. You can view my profile there, by clicking HERE.I have a show tonight, 9PM sharp, at the Hope to see you there and I'll be recording the gig too.

Here's another new track. Think. I used my Boss Dr. Rhythm drum machine for the beats (because it's quick and easy), an envelope filtered and overdriven bass using my BTB 5'er through the BP200 and distorted guitar running through the Ibanez PD7 Phat-Hed bass overdrive pedal. There was no extra editing or special effects used for this track.Go HERE to listen to all of my previous tracks.

I just finished another track and titled it, "Deathcat". Take a listen and let me know what ya think. I recommend using high-end speakers or headphones because the bass is pretty sick (and shit like my laptop speakers just can't handle it).For this track, I made a pattern using my drum machine. Then in GarageBand2 I added a phaser effect for them. I've never done that in any previous tracks and I

Finally! I only have the "links" page to redo then the new music site is all published and ready to go. The new home page URL is http://theinfinitehex.netI've only been publishing online for a little over a year now. A lot of things have changed and I've had to redesign all of my pages.

Things kinda fell through with Matt, at least for the time being. I really have to follow up with him to see what's up. Who knows....just a lack of communication on both ends, basically.I'm still working on those drums. It has gone from double-bass kicks to focusing on fills. It's quite tough to write very original fills. Everyone of them has that Iron Maiden kinda sound if things aren't switched

Well, summer's basically over and it's time to get back to work - meaning, hit that Record button. Jamming's been good all along and my skills are getting pretty sick on the drums. At this point on the drums, I'm focusing on some serious double-bass kicks. I've got some very hot beats to let loose on new tracks so the creative process is already well into motion.I've been sitting on the Sixth

Just went through several major life changes - but everything's all good...Production's been slow as a result, but I've been jamming anyway. Most notably, I've been getting reacquainted with the drums since it's been a few years since I've ripped them up. This means I'm getting away from the machine and going with the real deal; however, I'll probably mix the two occasionally.I anticipate

OK, so I've been a busy little bastard. My live gig has come and gone. I guess, overall, it went alright. See, the PA set-up was late and a little problematic. Plus, I was the opening act so my set got cut short. I had a hard time concentrating due to these circumstances, but I think my playing was pretty good. I have some audio of it that I have to post eventually. Lately, I've been tracking out

Well, my gig is coming up quickly (see previous post for the flyer/details). So I've been very busy getting ready. My material will consist of both old and new stuff. I'm really happy with the guitar and bass parts. The only real challenge I'm having right now is programming the perfect beats on my drum machine. The fucking thing is just so unnatural, but it does the job. I have most of the

Over the weekend, I created another instrumental track called Forgetting. I may have cut the beginning of playback a little short at the start of the track so I'll tweak it tonight - if you have a slow processor, it may cut off a second at the start, FYI.It's nice to be in the groove lately. Life is good, always. Sometimes I just don't see it, but I guess lately, I have. I've got more musical

It's been about a trillion years, but I finally finished another instrumental track! Everything's been so crazy over the last month or so. And what's funny is that this track, from conception to the finalized recording, took me a few hours over the course of the past three days. It's just amazing how productive I can be when I stay a little centered and inspired. Well, whatever. It totally

My friend Jon is currently planning a local concert that will have 4-6 live bands (depending upon circumstances like time allotted, space of venue, etc.) and will occur in about six weeks from now. The show will be all ages so anyone and everyone can go! The main styles will mainly consist of punk to metal. I've been invited to perform a set so I'm very excited about the whole gig. Of course, I'm

I am very good at procrastinating menial tasks, such as, updating my web site so the format and layout is all the same. Well, it's done. Now I can finish up Shapeless' audio tracks, upload them to the server and post a page for them. Then it's off to the races with my music. It's a good thing my life doesn't depend on money from this stuff or I'd be dead-broke, although, I tend to think I'd be

Today seems like the first official day of Spring - it's actually VERY nice in NJ today.I've got some sound files to edit for friends, but not much new going on within the business side of things lately. I'm actually glad because I've taken a long time to align my resources to be 100% independent musically and now I actually have

Everybody get your asses out to Erricos on Friday, March 25th to see three awesome bands: Chameleon......Crew......Me, The Captain & Some Guy!And speaking of Me, The Captain & Some Guy, I just finished editing their audio tracks from their 02/12/05 live performance. Their page will be posted on my site very soon.

Good deal! I finished editing four more tracks last night. Truly, I think I could spend a year on each one just making tiny little adjustments here and there, changing my mind and then making more. It's outrageous! Anyway, it does feel really good to get shit done. I must admit that I'm not the most disciplined guy in the world.I did also get the chance to spend about an hour playing bass.

You want to add to that with two highly extendable tripod microphone stands - aaaaaaaaawwwwwww shit! Now all I need is a laptop!

OK, I stuck my head out there far enough to procure some business. Fortunately and thus far, this is with friends. Of course, I'm always looking to expand into new arrangements and new realms. So if you see something you think I might be able to provide, please let me know.Now I just have a ridiculous amount of work to do. And I love it.

Yeah, so here it is: two entries in one day. How obnoxious! And yeah, things are kind of quiet right now so I figured I'd take the time to elaborate on recent hap hap happenings.So, I recently posted an entry about a local gig that I recorded and good things are coming as a result. I've already finished editing, uploading and designing a page to showcase Unoriginal's set from that night. I'm

It appears that my pit-bull persistence has paid off a little. Iposted an ad in the online Dave Phillips Music & Sound musicians'classifieds and a guy named Mike responded a few days ago. As aresult, tomorrow night we're getting together to jam. He lives inSergeantsville and seems like a cool guitarist. I'll be playing bass,my primary instrument of destruction. We'll have his friend playingdrums

Everything was looking good for a gig on 03/12; however, the band that wanted me to open for them can longer play that show and had to cancel. Apparently, their bass player couldn't swing it and I don't know why. But that's really none of my business or concern. So here's the deal: I was going to go through them to land this gig since I have no relationship with the club owner and they do, but

I'm trying to improve my site design skills so I downloaded the trial versions of Macromedia Dreamweaver, Flash and Freehand. So over the weekend I began to redesign my site. I animated my logo with Flash so now it mirrors the behavior of an actual blackhole! I'm so impressed with it. Also, I redesigned my home page and then built two new pages to support the recordings I've done recently. The

I guess all the hard work is starting to pay off. I've got a bunch of different projects going on at the same time. Right now, the biggest thing going is the show I recorded Saturday night at Erricos. So I took a break from editing tracks of three great bands: Me, The Captain & Some Guy - Shapeless - Unoriginal. I happen to know the guys from the first two bands personally. So anyway, yeah, I'm

Over the weekend, I finally got the chance to go through all the presets in GarageBand2 (the new recording software I'm now using). Unlike my experience with presets in the past, the ones within this program are quite decent. I have yet to mess with all of the software instruments; however, all of the drum kits and patterns are very cool. I really liked one beat so much that I posted a short clip

This is too good to be true! I'm glad to see that another mortal has the same beliefs and theory that I do. I think DRM should be ILLEGAL! It is essentially stealing in reverse - punishment with no crime. It's just dead wrong and makes music/data management technically cumbersome. Please take the time to find some good independent artists and buy from them directly. No corporations at all.

Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhh Man!!!! My new computer and software kicks ass! Last night I sat down for a few hours and started learning GarageBand2 from scratch. So in the process of doing so I came up with a short new track consisting of the drum machine, bass & guitar. The track is titled "Grooved Analysis" and as always, I have absolutely no idea why. Check it out. I also took the time to

So I went out on a limb because I was desperate. I bought a mac mini the other day and I'm so freakin' glad. I only got the $499 version, but it's so cool. I was worried that the processor and RAM wouldn't be enough to record, but I was wrong. This computer can work! Since I've been using windows pc's for so long, getting new software is going to be a costly, timely hassle. Yet in the end, I

I just read an article about a new digital rights management alliance among the four largest media corporations and I'm not too pleased. Please seek out independent artists and buy from them directly. Let's not rely on the corporations to manage our creativity or success. Read my response to the article here: Yahoo!

FYI - Here is a list of artist pages that I have at different sites. dmusic IC-Musicmedia loopwise I registered for these pages in an effort to collaborate with others and for general exposure. Plus, each of these sites have something different to offer to both the artist and the site visitor. It certainly can't hurt to have them.

Due to my current living arrangements, I can't play my Tama kit very often. It is just way too loud. And it's a hell of a shame too because it's in mint condition and the tone is killer. As a result, I've been using my Boss drum machine to program beats to play to. It's easy to program and all of the sounds are pretty good. There are two distinct drawbacks though, and that's that the sound and

Alright, now we're in business. Today, I just picked up a USB audio preamp/interface made by M-Audio. This thing is so cool and the price was right! The name of the device is the MobilePre USB. It only has two channels to plug into, but with the use of software (like my Nero Soundtrax program), there are infinite possibilities. I can really lay as many tracks as the software can handle. Obviously

I simply must make more time to jam and record. I know it's beginning to sound like some sort of mantra or a broken record, but I'm serious. My fucking priorities are all mixed up. Maybe I need a time management course or something. Yeah, I'm getting frustrated with myself. I have a very busy life and I find it hard to find the time to do my music. And music is all I want to do! So, I guess I

Check this one out: I bought the wrong fucking guitar strings. I've been practicing so much lately that I figured I'd go ahead and change the strings before they lose all life. So I take my ass down to the local music shop and grab a new set. Little did I realize, I actually bought ACOUSTIC strings instead of electric! What a stupid fuck! Now here's what's even worse, I'm sitting there changing

Hey what can I say? It's really pretty simple. If you want to support what I'm working on here, you can feel free to go ahead and donate (could really use better equipment). I'd really appreciate it, but as long as people enjoy reading this blog and checking out the content on my site, I'm grateful. Thus, I've added the PayPal button to the menu on the right.

It has been ages since I've recorded anything. Yet lo and behold, I recently did. I just finished uploading some new guitar rhythm tracks to my site. During a few parts, my picking and muting combinations sound real tight. These are from a fifteen minute jam session the other day. About half of them were improvised and the other half were jams I've been working on a while. I still have about 5

My man was shot dead two nights ago...very upsetting. He will always be one of my biggest influences. And he will be missed a lot. Well, three thousand years later I rear my ugly head. Life has been quite busy for me over the past two months or so. They've gone ahead and authorized overtime at work since there are several year-end projects to complete. So I've just been working late a lot and

For my own sanity, at least, I'm just adding another post to the blog here because, well, because something's got to be added even if it's to say that nothing new is happening. Real life has been calling my name and I've been all over the place doing all kinds of things. Some good, some just ok. The point is: I haven't had the time to record or post new rhythms/songs. It seems like things are

Hey, I finally got a new track posted over the weekend. It's titled "Discountenance" and I have no idea why - it just seemed like a good word. This is one of the recordings I was able to salvage from my old jam tapes. As with the other track, Journey to Kill, the quality is lacking a bit, but it's tangible material and I believe it still conveys a feeling overall. Be sure to crank the volume

I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but weblogs that contain any shades of pink and have numerous frames should be deleted from the server. It's just too obnoxious. After doing things on the web for years, even plain black text on a white background is hard to digest. Please don't make it any harder. Way off topic from my blog, but it had to be said.

I really wish I had the time and energy to devote to my site. Things have been slow going lately. I'm telling ya, with a full-time job, a kid to raise, a relationship to conduct along with personal chores and crap, it's so hard to find the resources to do everything I want to. Last night I programmed a sweet drum rhythm and wrote a bass line to lay on top of it. It was sounding tight, but I

Still photographs for Buckethead's "Spokes for the Wheel of Torment" video from the Cuckoo Clocks of Hell (2004 Disembodied Records) album, premiering at RESFEST 2004, are posted here. Jonathan Wells, the Festival & Editorial Director, was kind enough to provide them. Additional stills can be found here. RESFEST is a huge digital film festival that will appear in cities throughout the world.

All I can say is: "Wow!" Within 24 hours of posting my first audio track, my web site received thirty new visits. I attribute the majority of the visits to two posts I made: one on Bucketheadland's Forum and the other on Saul's Buckethead.tk Forum. You have to register as a user on Saul's site in order to view the forum strings. All the other visits are a result of "word of mouth" communication

Great News! My site's been updated. There's now the "bio" page that has some information about yours truly and I've posted my first audio track on the "music" page. I'm finally starting to feel a real sense of accomplishment. All of this took much more work and time than I had anticipated, but now it's starting to pay off for me. There's so much more that I want to do, but at least now I have

I finally finished writing out my bio for the site today and posted the new page. I'll probably go back and revise some of it down the road. I guess some of it is kind of revealing; however, I understand that bio's are like that sometimes. Also, my life experience seems very rich when I look back, yet it doesn't look as substantial as using written words to describe it. Maybe my past is more of

I posted two new graphics for my site. They are two simple images, one is a treble clef and the other is a bass clef. Both were made using PSP9. It took a lot of time to get these to look decent and I'll probably recreate them at some point because I'm really not too thrilled. But they work and that's all that matters at this point. I really ought to be spending my time doing my bio on the site;

Just when I thought I'd be getting things together more quickly, life has to jump up and steal all my time. The bottom line is that I haven't had any time to work on my site or any of the content. I have been messing around with some additional graphics for my site, but I'm having a hell of a time getting things the way I want them. I'm certainly not a professional graphic designer so I guess
