All of the drum tracks for the next album are done, thirteen songs as always. 
Two snare mics plus a piezo clip on the bottom rim, four octobans, five toms, left double bass drum, right double bass drum, two overheads and two room mics – in total there’s 18 channels of boom, crack, crash and cling goodness!
Next, I’ll move the mics over to my kit and start recording drums for the next Aquaplan album. Meanwhile Ville has already started recording bass for the Trusties album.
We managed to find a replacement bearing that fits on the axis bass drum pedal. Pedals are working and drum recording can continue!
Here’s some more pics of the miked drumkit.
So… drum recording is almost done, there’s just one song that’s not done yet. It’s just our luck that we run into a hitch so close to the finish line.
“What the f..k is up with these bass drum pedals??”
“Let’s check if the settings are the same for left and right pedal… nope that’s not it.”
“WTF, the right pedal feels very sticky and unresponsive?!?”
Turns out one of the bearings in the right pedal is busted. Hopefully we’ll get a replacement soon.
The Human Wheel album is now available on Spotify.
The reviews page has been updated so you can read what the critical reviewers say about Human Wheel.
Our new rehearsal/recording room is almost done and sounds great! It’s time to start playing again after a long break!!! 
Now… lemme see… was the guitar neck supposed to point left or right???
Here’s some photos from yesterdays rehearsal session. Matti was sick 
so he’s missing…
