Slowly my interest turned from gear to music and technique, spawning my pet project, Music for Drummers. As well as a different direction in this blog. While I still write about gear here, I prefer to write about technique and I think the trend towards that aspect adds a lot more value than promoting GAS. Gear Acquisition Syndrome.)
