    To answer the perfect pitch question, the notes in order on that one cymbal, from largest to smallest, are E, Eb, D, F#, D, F, F#, F, and Bb. I was surprised that the notes weren’t progressively higher. Probably just how the overtones interacted with each other.

    The chainmail hi-hat is pretty bad ass. Sure you could achieve a similar sound through effects, but it's a crunchy and mean sound ready to go. The heat shrink on the hat clutch was such a good idea, never even considered that for different hat stacks.

      Most digital effects are based on real analogue techniques and processes so I'd say it's the other way! The analogue vs digital debate get's way overplayed though IMO, if a piece of equipment or a plugin motivates and assists you in being creative then it's a good thing regardless!
