Dunedin To Timaru

Picked up Hire cars drove to Timaru. Playing at The Royal Hotel. Great sounding room, big thanks to Chris for letting me use his kit, what a bass drum sound, may have to check out Mapex when I get back. Did an iPod recording of the gig last night, sounds really good, great mix. Just packing for Christchurch tonight.

Flew from Wellington to Auckland then Auckland to Dunedin,got stung for excess baggage..

South Bar - Dunedin

One of the things you have constantly do as a muso is adapt, tonights gig certainly tested that. Room was lovely but all concrete, half the hire pa didn't work, no carpet for the kit, so had great fun playing chase the bass drum across the stage..

New YouTube videos

2009-03-30T15:18:00.000-07:00

It took a while but I finally got my hands on some footage of me playing with the Danny McCrum Band. It was filmed earlier this year at the Auckland Zoo. I’ll put more clips up as I get time to edit it.

Ear Plugs

2009-03-30T15:15:00.000-07:00

About 8 or 9 nine years ago I had some custom moulded ear plugs
made. Well worth the investment if you value your hearing. You can get them here in NZ for around $300 or if your in the Uk you can get them for around £164. The Elacin Er 15/25’s don’t take out all the high and low frequencies like most “foam” ear plugs do. I never play without them now. There is a review of them here.
Dont lose the music Website. Try and think back to how many gigs you’ve been to where you haven’t worn ear plugs and the sounds levels would have been over 100 db !! I know I didn’t use any ear plugs at all for the first 5 years :-(

Your ears do change shape over time, so I’ve booked in next week to have a new set made.
