This reminds me of why I subconsciously love Hot Snakes' Suicide Invoice--dude hardly ever rides on the cymbals. True pound-you-in-the-face drumming.

Right now I am a service engineer with Solid State Logic New York. I do a lot of traveling to music and broadcast studios mostly east of the Mississippi, including Canada and Mexico.

Elwood, dark colored and hairless—save for a moh...

I have SPDIF outputs (one coax and one optical) from my DVD player and my cable set top box but the surround sound input to my older receiver is discreet 5.1.
