Got my scanner working last night and I was looking through some pics, found some I took while touring in '97 w/ Pantera.

RIP Dime.

I get a wedge w/ one thing in it: my kick drum.

The band is loud enough that I need nothing else in there.

Just the kick and not much. Maybe a little high end added for clarity, I use a 24" kick w/ a felt beater so adding some "click" helps to define it a little. I guess I hit pretty hard.

I wish most drummers did that.

I have to have in my in-ears kick, snare, some cymbals, (not alot).

I usually don't have me cranked way louder than everyone else, especially vocally since I can blend the harmonies better.

I saw that too, pretty damn heavy. So was the Ratt one.
Crazy to see all those guys I toured with looking so somber. The play by play of the shooting really got to me. I lost it.
