Line Out - Comments on Nice Pad, For Real Though http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/08/nice_pad_for_real_though Drum pads are the answer. If our politicians put down their agendas and picked up drum pads, world peace would be achieved. Evolving out from the classic Synsonics, the world of drum pads becomes very varied. There are all shapes,...

I have the Alesis DM5 and Pulse Percussion triggers. They do many neato things and look really good in their boxes where they have lived since I got them. Some day I hope to hear them. I will commence doing push-ups as penance for being lazy. Trent, come over and show me the light - I have an extra cape you can wear.

This I don't believe. This I have to see for myself.

I'm going to call them and see. I'm feeling lonely too.

Synsonics were the greatest!

And they walk you right through whatever problem you are having.

But it's really better when you are lonley.

Of course now that I've said this, the next time I call, I'll be on hold for 15 minutes and the guy will be a dick.

Just saying the word "algorythm" makes me feel barfy at this hour. Mr. Writer, I am just your average drunk fool who happened to open this after a long night of drinking, and i am appalled by this article's complexity! Shit, what's Paris hilton up to for christ's sake. I will try to understand what you are saying, and then I will write back about how it made me feel....as a drunk artist.

I just saw professional bowlers on tv, not one of them was a gangsta.

It would be nice if all our world leaders played drums however. Trent, could you arrange that please? Tante

The word algorithm was also really intimidating, but I found the article enjoyably light and informative. Thank you Trent.

They seem good enough until you hit them with your stick and the break. But now I have a yamaha DTXpress III with the whole setup and that shit is amazing.
