Steamer Roger Jolly. As a matter of fact, I stayed on each hammer a bit longer than usual because of the 'firmness' of these hammers..Times that by 4 and 5 in the bass, and you get an idea... Marcel brought up an excellent point that I have not thought of..they're pressed extremely hot.. Alan H - point taken with the Vice Grips. Like I said earlier, that technique is in my bag o tricks. Thanks for all the suggestions. This set of hammers..aka..concrete on a stick.. has humbled my confident and aggressive voicing techniques. I will update with you next week..yes, I have another set to do on another player. -Phil Bondi(Fl)
