<p>Ps. See the pic for my ghetto practice setup. 3 x old couch pillows on cymbal stands, 2 x practice pads mounted as toms, an old snare drum filled with t-shirts and stuffing, and an old roland kick pad with the electronics replaced with foam. The reason I've gone this route is that it allows me to beat the crap out of it without getting too loud, or jarring my hands and wrists. Awesome for stamina building and it feels like I'm moving around an actual kit when I practice.</p>

Pretty amazing effort really! </p>
<p>In this episode we chat to him about the whole experience and he runs us through what he saw as his Top 15 Albums Of 2015. Below is a link to each of the albums - most are Bandcamp or at very least a purchase page. Check 'em out after the podge and support heavy metal! <br> </p>
