Gaucher Hathaway and Nicky Fists…… The black widow line feared throughout the league

The timing of his removal from IR is not convenient at all with the absence of Farabee, Frost, and Tippett, but Lycksell is f***ing dead apparently.
Lycksell had an AHL All Star game to go to. He needed to represent this shit org.
 
I believe Pearl makes them too.
I've been a drummer since I was around 3 years old and was banging around on my Dad's sets (a Slingerland gold sparkle, a Ludwig in Beatles finish w/ a super-sensitive snare, and a Rogers XP creamy silver w/ a dynasonic snare). I'll be 50 in two months.

When I was 15 I emptied my savings account and bought a Tama set, which was replaced by a much better Tama set (Starclassic birch/bubinga) with a Starclassic maple snare around 10 years ago.

Despite all of that, I've never known that Pearl made acrylic sets, lol!

I was drawn toward Tama way back when because their hardware is darn near bulletproof and adjustments were very easy to make. Most drums sound the same anyway, it's the cymbals that add a personal touch, IMO. I've been a Paiste guy since I bought that first set at 15. I don't care too much for their signature line, but I love their B8 models (2002s, Dimensions, Alphas, etc.). I've played Zildjians and Meinls before, but am just drawn to Paiste. They are the sound I hear in my head, and they deliver. They're also very consistent in their sound. I have probably 3 or 4 backups of my main crashes. They stopped producing the Alphas a few years ago. I still use them as my crashes. They were fantastic cymbals for the money, very close to a 2002, but a fraction of the price.

Sorry to geek out on drum stuff. It's been a passion of mine for a very long time.

I'm always happy to listen to someone talk about the tiny corner of the world they love. That's where the interesting stuff is.

For the record, I'm a Larnell Lewis / Purdie / Jeff Hamilton / Bill Stevenson guy.

I really wanted to go to the first game in Utah, but can't do it. Just flat out can't go support this team any longer. Last game was the first game in 15 years i intentionally ignored, and tonight will be the second

You're gonna miss the return of Nicky Fists? Scholars will point to this moment, along with many other moments, as the time the Flyers truly became garbage
