first off, it's Pro-Mark sticks and Drum Workshop pedals...for now. just you wait til i play Wembley; i'll be kind enough to leave you some free tix at will call - all the way in the back, in the halfling section, with loads of tall buggers in your way. no matter, my amplified magnificence will inspire your usual horrid 'dancing' either way.

as for your comments about Port birds being bland: i believe i have the exception to that one. what's your email? dare ya.

[email protected], we'll do this in private so as not to humiliate you any more than necessary (hmm, on second thought...)
