I'm going to assume you're not the CEO of a company.

Are you using the single flange sleeves, because those are horrible, they never stay in. With my Shure E1's I've been using the triple flange sleeves for years with no slippage at all, my brother uses the E3's with the foam sleeves which aren't as good as the triple flange, but they are better...

Bas kicks ass.

That's my understanding as well.

Images and Words is the only album with triggers on it (I believe every drum was triggered), hence the machine gun rolls, Portnoy hated the sound so much that he has never used any triggers since.

I don't know why, but I'm not really impressed even though I know that I should be, maybe I'm just sick of everyone doing that theme song.

I remember one time I was flipping through the channels and when I passed MTV, I heard Mr. Bungle's "Secret Song" playing in the background on either The Real World or Road Rules or one their other "reality" shows.

Little boy blue... He needed the money, OH!

I thought the same thing on the first listen, but after a couple of spins and letting it sink in, it keeps getting better and better. I can't get enough of Washington is Next. I'm also really digging the mix, sounds the way that Megadeth should sound so I also don't get the Arch Enemy comments.

I use the Legacy 2x12, but mine is a first run, so it has Greenbacks instead of the V30's, and I'm very happy with it. Carvin stuff is usually very high quality.

But Yngwie's guitars don't have "traditional" single coils, they're stacked humbuckers.

Have you thought about maybe just overdubbing the toms?

That's just what they want you to think, don't fall into the trap. They really want to analyze everyone's shit.

Just when I thought I had seen it all.

In that price range, your best bet is a Peavey 6505, or a used 5150.
