Just call the doctor......

Doctor Rhythm!!!!!


3!!!! completely different snare sounds to choose at 16 levels of possible dynamics! It'll even remember what you tell it to play. No charts needed (oh wait.....no drummer can read music anyway). Some of 'em even have a state of the art MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface?) IN port. How frickin' cool is that?!!! Costs less than a fancy mic and plays a rad demo with bongos and stuff....... It's truly the BOSS (not Tony, nor Angela, or even nympho Mona can compete with this thing!). Much more advanced than those stupid 808 things. No one ever used those anyway...... Check out the amazing clave and agogo bell sounds. You won't be disappointed....

I'm actually serious.

The right order is:

6.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

...at least thats the standard here in LA...

7 would be good converters and 8 good cables

Sure, but at that point, good catering and Aeron chairs in the control room are about as important...

I'm not sure whether a great song should be number one or number two - depends on what you're going for, I guess...

The only problem with your list is that the girl should be in the live with the drummer!

[Simon Lomax]

Wouldn't the naked girl in the control room distract the drummer?

Maybe I'll try it . . .

Seriously though - good converters make a significant difference

Si
