Flashlights, staplers and lamb chops.
Photo found of my first drum kit ever - a used beat down Slingerland. Paiste cymbals. Self-taught myself drums and guitar in a garage. My German shepherd 'Queenie' kept me company all night long practicing. Used a desk stapler to act as a foot drum pedal until I could afford a Tama drum pedal. Notice the giant red flash light used for when the sun went down- no electricity in that garage. DIY forever, work with whatever you got, and make things work. First bandmates are now in a band called, Lamb of God. What's up, Mark Morton! bye.
