Over the last couple of months I've been tweaking my "perfect" dry-ish studio rock kit. Just enough ring, just enough cut, just right. Finally I've got it close to how I want it, and I decided to have a thrash. I dug out Steve Vai's "Passion and Warfare" 'cos I hadn't listened to it for ages, and had a play-along.
The weird thing was, after playing for a few minutes, I realised that my kit IS Chris Frazier's kit! The snare tone, ring, even the pitch spread of the Toms was near perfect. The only thing different was his ride which was drier. I'd never intentionally set out to recreate his kit, and as I say, I'd not listened to the CD for ages.
Coincidence or subconscious? Discuss.
