Sounds great but it's pretty much the same solo he always plays. I'm hoping he comes up with something new for the tour. I've heard the Eruption/Cathedral/MeanStreet medley too many times.

Looks just like my old C1. She was a great guitar and I miss her. Enjoy yours.

There's also a Floyd that actually mounts to the existing TOM and Stoptail mounts, so no mods are required. Those are really hard to find, and from what I understand, they don't offer the same range of motion as a regular Floyd, and you'd still have to put a locking nut on there, but there would be no body mods needed. Never seen that before. Very interesting. I wonder if tuning is as stable as a regular floyd?

Originally posted by Lysakoski "Explain" this: out of this entire thread, one person has recommended the torque key. Everyone else has panned it, saying it's a waste of time. We're the drummers, we know about tuning drums, so take our advice or don't bother fucking asking in the first place. Originally posted by onehourburn I have thanked and listen to every ones advice... You are the only one with no advice... You got a piss poor attitude... onehourburn LOL! TAKE OUR ADVICE OR ELSE!!! I think he was kidding. Hense the smilie. I think.

Yep, torque keys don't work. Well, they do, but they only measure the resistance of the rod turning in the lug, not the head tension. Now Drum Dials do work (to a certain extent), but they cost about $60, so I'm sure you're not interested. IMO, if you're not worried about getting a perfect sound and you just want to bash away, I would take the reso heads off and tune the batters up to a tone that sounds good to you and just go with that. That would be the fastest, easiest thing to do. BTW, tuning drums is similar to putting a wheel on a car - tighten each lug an equal amount in a criss cross pattern...like THIS. Have fun!
