The C&C kit is really sick and the dimensions are to die for. The kit that we are using in the photo is actually our friend Brian Pennicks. It was originally a Get Up Kids kit, but it sounds really great aside from the snare (I've never been that impressed with C&C's snares, but maybe they'll prove me wrong).
It's kinda funny that as of yesterday, Chris (our drummer) received an endorsement from C&C. They're building his kit soon, but I can't imagine it will be ready in time for tracking, so we'll be sticking with the one in the photo.
Sadly, yes we tend to engineer and produce our own records. We're very DIY and recording sessions always tend to follow suit. We will have a few friends on site helping the production process though (great ears and opinions). But I will make sure that the performance aesthetic takes precedence over the technical issues. This will be our first serious pressing (we've release a couple other discs, but most of them in all honesty we're pretty much demos and no where near the caliber of recording that we're looking at doing for this one.
Oh yeah, our band is rock group based out of Cincinnati called Junior Revolution. Here are the links (we're really starting to come on board slowly but surely, but most of the material is really out of date and while I'm proud of the songs, the production was fairly limited.)
