New Things! Shiny, Expensive Things.

2025 is the year of Real Drums for Alex Melton. I hope to use them in future videos, maybe even get to a point where I can do remote tracking for others. The possibilities are endless, spirits are high, and the procrastination on Caroling Part II is very real.

First things first - let's get this drum kit set up.

Then, go listen to my songs called "Take It Easy" or "Infinity", or maybe a cover or two. Here's a Spotify link. open.spotify.com/artist/2Y3LFSXIRTjJZyjIA22qJA?si=pxz50AMkRDaS10ETchO36w
