Daily Photo - August 22, 2012 - Snare Devil

Behold the first snare drummer devil I've made. The little dowel beneath the snare is there because I forgot that adding a big drum would make the toy fall forward. I made the sticks by sanding down an 1/8" dowel. Overall I'm pretty pleased with the results! For any snares or other drums in the future I'll probably make them separate on stands instead of being attached to the devil body.In other news, I got my hair cut today and it was a pretty great experience. I've gone to Sportclips for the last few years but I decided to try Knockouts instead. It's the same basic premise as Sportclips, but way, way better. I have to admit that I normally dread haircuts because of the chit chat aspect. At Sportclips I would inevitably be asked about some kind of sports... I was half expecting that to happen here, but the gal who cut my hair, Jessica, only asked me one sports question and that was only because I said I work at a golf course. From there the conversation migrated to television and then writing and before long my hair was finished being cut.This might be the first time I have ever enjoyed getting a haircut. I might have enjoyed it even more if I had taken advantage of the complimentary drink that apparently comes with every haircut. I declined when asked if I wanted something to drink before I realized it was free. Next time. And there will definitely be many next times.In summation, drums make you tip forward, and Knockouts is an awesome place to get your hair cut. Thanks for having a look, see ya tomorrow!
