I'll be working on finishing up some drums tomorrow wanted to broadcast it all live.Specifically I'll be staining a couple of bass drum hoops that i've already cut inlays into, and then i'll be cuting out sparkle for the inlay, waiting for the stain to dry, assembleing 2 bass drums and a floor tom…so it might not be the most interesting broadcast, but i'll try to throw in some witty comments for my viewers. You can also use Twitter to comment on the broadcast. @pellidrums (<–if you use twitter this makes sense to you) Hope you enjoy!
