And the beat goes on (heavy pic content)

Lang finished my Rock Band video game drumset covers lsat night. If you’ve ever played the game you might know that the drum kit has these solid pads that when you hit them are so loud that they drown out the sound coming from the video game. So I looked online and found a neat little hack that shows how to make a cover to muffle the sound so you can enjoy the game more. It totally worked!! Here are a few pictures of the project.

Yay! It did come out really well. I don’t even remember you taking that close up sewing picture. I’m glad you like how it all turned out, too.Pillows DO make everything more comfortable. Smart kid.By the way, for everyone else that might care, I’m not actually tracing my hand in the fourth picture. There’s a white circle I’m holding to the back of the foam. ;)Love you!

We didn’t get any pictures of you cutting or tracing. =/

RYN: We should change that up sometimes. I want more pictures of you and of us. It’ll be a boring scrapbook otherwise. ;)I really need to start that soon, by the way. I’m two years behind already! Are you interested in helping or do you want to leave it all up to me? (Either is fine by me, I just don’t want you to feel left out.)

Cool….I need to know the procedure for making the anti-loud noise pads for the drum kit. Me and my hunny have the same problem…..LoL, I’m the singer and sometimes the guitarist, by the way 🙂
