I got two 26" Zildjian rides. One I'm happy with, the other is a little different.

I like different. This is different, too however:

a) the hammer tool is flat-peened, not a ball-peen like the traditionals.
b) the LATHING.. it's atrociously sparse. Like someone hurrying up to an afterthought of finishing out hammermarks "why not drag a lathe tool across it randomly a couple times just for the effect of hand-tooling?"
c) The finish looks cheap and atrociously smoothed-out like a fuckin' CB Percussion stamped bronze-sheet cymbal.
d) It says Rev Al on it, but there's a picture of some fag Pope on it hiding a mallet. That can't be Al, he carries a balding mullet, not a mallet and he's no longer Catholic, either.

There certainly are a few guys around here that you'd expect to find handing out leaflets at the airport.

Not to mention the Dumpster-Diver's Division and Gar's Platoon of Village Idiots...

Al's got sticks and a snare line, too.

For Ludwig's 100th Anniversary they also have a signature limited production snare for Al.....

Shit. I checked out Al's drum kit in 1984 and he had a chrome plated Ludwig snare, not some cork sniff rosewood thing with custom name plates affixed like it is a piece of fine furniture. This is getting rediculouse. I guess you have a brandy or a single malt with Mr. Van Halen as you discuss drumming by the fire at the gentleman's club.

[Nitro Express]

I hear Wolfie is coming out with a Big and Tall line of clothing next.

[Nitro Express]

I wonder if he's gonna get off the couch and actually show up at NAMM this year?

Al hasn't had a good or original artistic thought ever. He took the exterminator dude Roth used for the 1984 tour and put a pope hat on him. There's a huge flaw here. The Pope is Catholic and the Catholic church does not have reverends. They have priests. Certain prodestant religions have reverends. He should have a crazy, wild eyed southern baptist or a snake handling pentacostal instead. It would be funnier.

[Nitro Express]

The truth is reverends do take people for big rides.
