Santa showed up with a Shure SM57 over Christmas and I got a chance to start messing with it yesterday. I still need to find the best spot for it so everything is balanced (ride cymbal is too loud and I was barely playing it) but pretty happy with the possibilities.

A couple of weekends ago I went to Kansas City for a drum event at a friend’s jazz club. The event was a clinic by WFLIII Drums, owned by Bill Ludwig III, grandson of Bill Ludwig of Ludwig drums (B3 used to manage artist relations at Ludwig). Anyways, I met the man, and he signed my snare.
