Hi Everyone
Clive told me I really ougt to join up, so here I am! I'm really impressed to see all this Arena activity -that's great.
I've never been big on email, internet etc, but I'll do my best to stay in touch.
Well done Peter and The Ricochet for bringing this to life  :)

Hi Mick,
I'm very glad you took a heart and joined the forum ;) Welcome!
And right here goes my very first question to you:
A lot of people seem to have noticed that your drumming sounds a lot crispier and clearer on "Pepper's Ghost".
Is that impression provable? Like did you use a new setup for the snare or whatever and did you maybe use a new drumming technique in places?
Welcome to the forum, Mick!
It's great that you're here.
Question:- Do you still use that Ocatagonal cymbal with your kit?
It's a strange question, but it looks pretty cool! ;D
That cymbal was called a 'rocktagon' - the guys in the band always enjoyed that name. Sadly it's beyond use now, but I'll see what else turns up :)
The drums were recorded at Thin Ice. I spent ten days working with Karl Groom (which made Clive happy - he could get out of the studio for a while!). We went for a splashier, live-er sound than we've used before. It made me attack the drums differently - I was very happy with the results.

So are we, Mick :)
Glad to see you here Mick. Nice show at Rosfest!! Are you still enjoying the 'afterglow' or did your shirt finally run out of batteries? I still don't know what it said.

Hi Mick - thanks for posting 8)
Welcome on the forum ;D It's a pleasure to see you here, thanks for coming ;)
Welcome here Mick!
Good to hear from you! I loved the Aschaffenburg gig. Glad you start to appreciate our 'funny money' as well ;)
I recently saw a picture of you behind a VERY big blue drum-kit, with lots of extra toms. It must have been around '80. Do you still have that kit?
'Fraid not!
That got sold a long time ago :)
