The ‘ABOUT 9 TIMES’ SNARE!
(Many MORE PICS Down Below)

Unearthed from my storage to celebrate 10 years back in Texas (Nov. 16th),
I’ve brought my ‘9x’ snare back to life.  This is the original Pearl Jupiter steel shell
with proprietary Pearl parallel action snare strainer––now rare! Rare! RARE!

As well, this is the snare I used at all ‘9x’ live performances and on all ‘9x’ recordings
(“Play Jacks” [LP & Digital], “There Is No…” [LP & Digital],
and “Beyond Blue Sky, Nothing” [Digital Only]).



The drum is now all cleaned up and has brand new heads,
thanks to the great team at DALLAS PERCUSSION:
www.dallaspercussion.com/ 

BUT…check out the old heads––almost 40 years old (uhgggggg!).



SUITABLE FOR FRAMING!
Yes, these were the final set I had on the snare for the last ‘9x’ shows.  And they
still proudly display the LONE STAR PERCUSSION imprint, from the days when
Harvey Vogel was the owner and LSP was a thriving and driving force.
(R.I.P. Harvey and the amazing store.)

Hope the hard core ‘About 9 Times’ fans––and those 
who love ’Drum Porn’––
will enjoy all the pics below, as well as this little trip down memory lane.
The snare now has a proud place in my room. And if I’m not in a playing mood,
it seems I can still watch a little ‘Soylent Green’. ;)

HUMAN NO MORE:
A Making-Of Documentary: Reinventing Perspective
www.poetrope.com/Films_HNM-DOC_Home.html

"HNM: A Making-Of Documentary: Reinventing Perspective" is a celebration of the creation of the truly independent feature film "Human No More: A Macabre Thriller". From the first days of pre-production through to the final day of production--and more--this visual and aural 'scrapbook in motion' is for anyone who loves behind-the-scenes cinema, supports indie moviemaking, and wants to learn about independent filmmaking when you have little-to-nothing but your own imagination, talent, and elbow grease, to create the magic. "HNM: A Making-Of Documentary" explores "Garage Cinema" at its most epic. Fox, Universal, Sony, and Disney, have no power here!
