Citizens of The World...
We found our abbreviation...
C.O.W
Moo!!! XD
So anyways, Rob, Andrew n myself decided to drop by at Bentley last Sunday to get some stuff that we need for the performance.
(at that point, we didnt know it was postponed yet...)
Spent the nite before at Rob's place, and we headed off like 4 something...
Coz we only woke up at like 1 or so... :P
We arrived there, and we managed to catch a local act performing at the homegrown area of Bentley... Didnt catch the name of the band though, but they were pretty good...
So the guitars there were as usual... Impressive along with their price tags..
Been there like 5 or 6 times edi. The only difference this time is they stocked up on more Takamine's. Which kinda gave me more options now rather than just the EJ200 CE or the hummingbird, which are very hard to locate here in KL...
So we moved on to the drums section which I have never been in yet...
And boy was I impressed...
Seriously, the amount of stuff u can get for ur drumset is just mindblowing
And the price too...
Cymbals there range from hundreds all the way to the thousands...
Andrew spotted a snare which sounded pretty good... and it cost RM500.. Pretty good value actually for a decent Tama snare..
Andrew & Rob going through the accessories...
Andrew was just speechless.. It was funny... XD
Right before we left the room, we spotted THIS
Just look at the number of toms that thing has.. Its just mindblowing!!!
Although I've seen drumsets with more toms on utube vids, but to see 1 like this right in front of my eyes was still overwhelming..
Guess how much does the whole set cost?

RM20k!!!
Go figure....
But its Pearl after all.. And its all in gold... Haha..
The sign did say No Testing...
Oh well... :D
C.O.W's frontman giving a shot at it as well...
Well, he is a drummer after all.. Haha..
So after that, we went to grab a few stuff before we left to The Curve for dinner, and then we headed home...
I got myself :
A new strap!
Cost me RM69... But it comes with a lock, so its kinda secured... And I think its worth the money... The lock is really useful...
Got myself new strings as well.. Figured I better change them...
Dun wan them to sound crappy when Im up on stage..
Sticking to D'Addario for the time being.. I'll experiment with others some other time...
Re-stringing... and cleaning up my dearly beloved...
Voila!!! Done... And the new strings sound great..
No regrets...
The strap goes well with the theme as well rite? :D
The guitar stand Rob got himself...
Gotta get myself one of those as well...
RM89.. Pretty good deal..
Band updates :Album launch performance got postponed till further notice...
But it gives us more time to practice and perfect the songs we wanna play..
So far we have 3 songs on the list... Besides our original, we'll be doing 2 covers...
Really looking forward to it... :D
Got ourselves someone on keys, and a possible bassist
Gotta see how things go, but I really got a good feeling about this band... Every one of us... :)
