It’s hard to look like an angry drummer while wearing an argyle sweater and a warm scarf.
EDIT: …and slippers.

This is the song that originally hooked me onto Pedro The Lion (and subsequently David Bazan). It’s also my favorite song to play along to on the drums. If you’re ever interested in diving into the PTL catalog, the album Control is a good place to start.
Wouldn’t you love to be on the cover of a magazine?

Of all the songs on their eponymous debut, this one provides the best evidence that behind the wit and gimmicky instruments was a band with serious chops.
The drums on this track are insanely good; I also love that they panned the bass/guitar hard left/right.

Toni, I wish I could be their teacher. I’d open early, never be late, and you could all stay as long as you wanted as we’d pass around the Poopy and argue about shitty art.

I’m not a terrible drummer, but I’d say it would take about seven Steves to make one Dave Grohl.
With that said, this is my favorite song to play along to behind the kit; I think I’m about 75% of the way there. When considering my skill level and 50+ year old Japanese drum kit I should probably be satisfied with that, but I’m not. I want 100%. I’ll get there.

I edited and uploaded one more Jucifer pic last night. At this rate I’ll get them all done sometime in 2013.
This slap-zoom effect can be kinda cheesy, but I did it with the actual lens (not digitally in Photoshop) so I’m kind of in love with how well it turned out. It rarely works.
And here are two more gifs:


Day 1 of the Victory! Sessions is in the books and Scott scorched through 7 out of the 10 songs. Everything sounds fantastic and the new gear we’ve invested in is already paying for itself. We’ll pick up where we left off bright and early tomorrow morning to finish tracking drums and then we’ll move on to bass, guitar, and vocals over the next three days.
As of this moment, our Kickstarter project has been live for exactly one week and we’ve already raised an astounding 44% of our goal. We honestly weren’t sure if we’d ever make it to 20%, so to say we’re excited would be a tremendous understatement. Thanks again to all who’ve pitched in. Only with your support can there be Victory!

Since I’m no longer able to run - due to my asshole left knee - this is how I’ve been working out. It’s good to play in a band with shotcopter because his drums are fucking awesome, and it’s great to play in a band with him that practices in my basement, because his drums are fucking awesome - in my basement.
In the beginning
Back in nineteen fifty five
Man didn’t know ‘bout a rock ‘n’ roll show
And all that jive
The white man had the schmaltz
The black man had the blues
No one knew what they was gonna do
But Tchaikovsky had the news, he said
Let there be sound, and there was sound
Let there be light, and there was light
Let there be drums, there was drums
Let there be guitar, there was guitar
Let there be rock
And it came to pass
That rock ‘n’ roll was born
All across the land every rockin’ band
Was blowin’ up a storm
And the guitar man got famous
The business man got rich
And in every bar there was a superstar
With a seven year itch
There was fifteen million fingers
Learnin’ how to play
And you could hear the fingers pickin’
And this is what they had to say
Let there be light, sound, drums, guitar
Let there be rock
One night in a club called the Shakin’ Hand
There was a 42 decibel rockin’ band
And the music was good
And the music was loud
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd
Let there be rock(AC/DC)
