  Quote of the Day Dave and I enjoy browsing YouTube for concerts, live performances, and other outstanding performances. As such we come across some amazing finds. This world is absolutely brimming with amazing talent.  During one of these evenings we came across one of  Santana's  concerts and during this Carlos broke from the music twice to communicate positive and inspiring messages with the crowd.  I did my best to transcribe one of these min-speeches here below. The impact this had on the live crowd absolutely blue my mind ... I hope you enjoy it too: "We come from only 2 things: - Light and Love , - Light and love , ...not fear! Light and Love. If you remember one thing tonight let it be this: You are significant! You are meaningful! You matter  and you can make a difference in the world! It is not just the Dali Lama  or Mother Teressa, ...no ...uh-uh This is about you and me: Light and Love. Let us say: 'It is my choice, It is my decision to ...

Racks and stands and Clamps – oh my! Racks and stands – that vital part of a drum set or percussion rig that keeps it all together and in the right place but often gets neglected when it comes to maintaining and repairing. Threads will get stripped or tight when full of dusty road grime and it is easy to extend their life with simple, regular maintenance. Avoid over tightening of any wingnut or clamp and consider memory locks for the hardware taking considerable stress due to weight or heavy hitting. An future article will discuss memory locks in more detail.  My personal routine includes cleaning and oiling ANY threads with out fail when its time for a cleaning. The regularity will depend on how dirty your instrument gets. Also the roll/split pins that attach cymbal boom arms together will loosen over time and cause a wobble to the arm. Tap them out with a small punch and replace with sufficiently tight roll pins. When it comes to my rack I check and replace any damaged rubber gas...
