My Little Home Studio

The 17-piece Drum Kit

Finally, I finished off my drum kit assembly and now it is ready for playing. I'm not going to bother you with the details of how I achieved this but at least I can say that although it took me some time to finish it, it is totally worth. Now, above you can see the kit I am using at home. The drums and cymbals are explained below...  

Life's Good To Me...

That's a good way to call it a day!

 Laying before sunset... This is one of the coolest things that you can do right after you leave your office if you are living in West Coast of Anatolia.

There and Back Again...

Mount Ararat

Farewell to arms... I was a walking distance away from Iran, and now I am a swimming distance away from Greece. Hopefully...

Just Married...

From now on, I am a family guy...

Quote of the Day

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts."


Bertrand Russell

Carpe Diem

"Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, but Today is a Gift... That's why it is called the Present."

One Step Closer To 12-Piece Drum Set

Finally, I am one step closer to my Do-It-Yourself (DIY) drum set. I assembled the drum kit frame and put the drum pads on it. I made some changes on the kit and with those changes I expanded the kit. Also, now I got a professional mixer, Spirit Live 3 - 2... It's taking some time to bring everything up but it is worth 100%.

Maşallah (Mashallah)

If you are wondering why I used this title for this entry, check this out:

"In the Middle East, Mediterranean, and South Asia, "Masha'allah" is also said as a way of warding off the superstition of the evil eye. Often when one asks whether someone is ailing, "Masha'allah" is inserted into the sentence." [1]

Just Engaged

As of October 2, 2010, Melike and I are engaged. It was like a tiny wedding, or a "wedding rehearsal" and we had a lot of fun with all our friends and families... Here is a picture of us from the ceramony:

Back to Basics

No more Rochester, no more quarters, no more snow...

Here comes the sun, the delicious food and people I love... Here I am, in Turkey...
