Rehearsed today with Jack and a new friend who is playing bass with us. All is going well so far, it’s fun to play some big rock. As is required, we’re outside taking a break with some beverages and smokes for those who partake.

Jack and I had a little jam session today. He’s been hot to trot on playing some cheesy 80’s-esque metal and we decided to play together for a little while tonight. Although this picture above might suggest we were playing some heartfelt singer/songwriter nonsense we were indeed writing songs about dogs with rocket engines. It is a good excuse to play on the 14×10 snare drum and a good excuse for him to crank up his amp to absurdity. Jack designs custom guitar effects pedals and repairs pedals and amps – you should check out some of his work at <a href=”http://www.jackdeville.com”>jackdeville.com</a>

Not much to report today. Practiced again with Jack and Dean, had a really productive session. Good times as always.

Band practice was cancelled today since my bandmate wasn’t feeling well. It gave me a good opportunity to practice some techniques and to just create some fun beats. Productive session despite missing half the band.

I’m very excited to be able to get back to a little bit of band practice after my recent hand injury. This is the first time that I’ve been able to play with my friend Jack since I hurt my hand. Awesome jams and a good chance to play around with my new 430EX flash.

Wrapping up a great and productive practice with my friend Jack at the new practice space.
