WHOA.INTENSE SHOOT!
So, heres the story with this one.
they had just finished building their new drum sets and they look SICK.
Because they are a band with a stage outfit, I have to shoot them directly before they go on stage. so needless to say I had about 45 seconds to shoot this.
We decided to shoot on their awesome new drum set, but as i was shooting one of their crew was moving one of my lights, the dudes couldnt hear me because of stage noise as well as their in-ear monitors, and their crew were starting to move the drum kit they were standing on, toward the stage.
After a few shots, the drum set was gone, the dudes were gone, and that whole set in front of the lens as gone. hahaha. IT WAS INTENSE! but I got what I needed (which is what Vic Firth needed)
This shot was the best of the ones I took, and im really really stoked with how it came out.
This is for their Vic Firth, drumstick endorsement.
Taken directly before their show at the Rockstar Mayhem Festival

I would like to see more shots of the stage-front drums(not Joey's kit).
You have any?
Those drums are custom made by Dunnet Drums from Vancouver: he used to be my neighbor...

Clown looks like a midget in this because of the perspective. Nice though

Those guys are cool. I saw that show in Albuquerque NM in July, I really enjoyed seeing them. Watching Clown steal one of Chris' beer kegs and throw it into the audience while Chris wasn't looking was fun to watch. I guess that is why they call him "Clown".
