Derek™ Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 You need to either laughably flail the sticks off-rhythm, occasionally missing the drum entirely, or match them on point so they're floored and awed. Nothing in between. Thomas³ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing in between. Have him bring up his own tom to play on. Runs up there carrying the tom, sets it down haphazardly, starts drumming on it like he is having a fit, throws sticks slightly in the air limp-wristed as he ends it, walks away as band and crowd is speechless for reasons we are still unsure of.

mrewest Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I don't know how I've missed this thread but holy shit at the idea of someone drumming with Caspian. In fact, it should be a thing where everyone up front or against a wall or something is given drumsticks. An entire crowd helping drum.

Oddly enough it sounds perfectly fine. At least my copy does. I'll be getting another one in as well and give that a listen. I was skeptical too, along with white vinyl, but it sounds good.

Gumbo72203 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Just got my copy today, opened it, and the plastic jacket is ripped wide open on 2 sides. Like, we're talking at least 1/3 of the entire side on the right and bottom side. I hope you guys fair better than me. For a $5.19 media mail charge, you would think they would make sure your shit arrives in good condition. NOPE. EDIT: I should add that the vinyl sounds great. Side A is nigh-silent, and Side B only has a little bit of noise. Castles also sounds huge at 33rpm haha.

It's probably from sliding around so much in the jacket in shipping... the cuts in my jacket have teeth, for christs-sake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Yeah Hello Merch told me to fuck off about that. They won't accept a return, nor do they have extra jackets to send out. I feel like they just slapped me in the face, and were like "Yeah, buy this thing... but don't expect us to make sure it gets to you in one piece. And if it doesn't, we're not going to fix it either." Also, didn't make it to the show. Did make it to Boston though! Eventually. I think I passed 5 or 6 3-car smash-ups on I-90. Twice, there were 2 of them within, oh... maybe 50 yards of each other. Traffic was halted so many times. I have a back problem which had been flaring up all week, and being stuck in traffic for so long made everything seize back up from sitting in my car seat for so long. I tried to tough it out, but it just wasn't going to happen. Worst Caspian day ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Haha I dunno, my pvc bag is only connected in two spots near the flap on each side because they threw it in a 12 inch mailer with no stability. That's both sides and the bottom completely ripped open. I knew what I was buying but a simple piece of tape would have prevented it. I'll just file a PayPal claim if they tell me to fuck off like they did to Gumbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine in yesterday and removed it promptly. I think the most annoying thing about this being an 8" is having to go out of my way to find a proper sleeve for it, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to find a solution too, but I don't see any 8" inner sleeves anywhere. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
