Neues aus meiner Individualkulturgeschichte:
Drumsticks!
Habe lange Zeit die Signature-Sticks von #JeffPorcaro gespielt. #RegalTip hat aber wohl keinen Europavertrieb mehr.
Meine neuen Stöcke sind dann wohl auch Signature-#Sticks... aber diesmal von #PhilippSchwab (#Knorkator). Die sind ein wenig dicker, aber gut gematcht und sogar ein paar Euro billiger.
Lasst euch nicht vom #Fame täuschen, diese #Schlagzeugstöcke kommen von #Rohema.
TIL #jeffporcaro played drums on Mother, on #PinkFloyd’s #thewall
my god he was everywhere can you even imagine if he wouldn’t have died young? #rip
