MAYHEM FEST!

I had an excellent time last night, getting to go to the Rockstar Engery drink Mayhem Festival for not only one night,but last night was the 2nd time I got to go! August 5th was Mansfield MA, this date was in Hartford CT. Since i started this blog, i brought my camera to take some shots of some things.

None of the "shots" are that good,i dont take picutres! especially the Slipknot ones, i wasnt sure if one of their dudes on the crew said "no cameras" or "all cameras face forward" meaning like,no backline shots or whatever, so i was rather quick with anything i took,meaning BLURRY, but you get the idea, and its still awesome.

theres a lot i took,but heres just some. mainly of dustins C & C kit and the knot.

Dustins rig:

easily the MOST ridiculous kick drums i have ever heard. i got to play them for a hot moment and seriously...they sounded SO amazing. had a slight click to them, were loud as fuck,it sounded like they were miced already....you had to be there,i was screaming like a girl "THEY SOUND SOOOO GOOOODDD AAAHHHH!"

Dustins custom hand done finish came out awesome too:


CAST IRON SNARE!

this probably is the heaviest snare in existance. mainly because it was cut out of a piece of gigantic pipe that would be going in the earth to serve some sort of purpose for man kind. i think dustin said C & C got it from some iron company in like philly or something. all the lug holes were like laser cut and shit. it is also probably the loudest snare in existance. it surprisingly dosent sound too bad either.


aaron shredding during Underoath. im not too into the sound of his drums,since he went with the vintage thing,but they look hot.

now for the knot! At the Mansfield date,we got to watch from the sound board. THIS time I got to watch from the side of the stage. IT WAS AWESOME!

YEAH, JOEYS RIG LETS HIS DRUMS TILT TOTALLY FORWARD,THEN SPIN....OUT OF CONTROL!
