Well, that was a teeny bit awesome (master of understatement!!!).

Blunders was on blinding form - his playing has moved up a few gears since I last saw him in action, and although he was there 'with' Roland he didn't do a hard sell, just demonstrated how he use tech to augment his sound and in his practice regime.
Also played two kits, one of which was part of Steve Wilson rig (a 16" bass drum and two small toms) to show one of the new trigger modules designed for hybrid drumming.
He also shared some stories about his own insecurities and nerves and how he's learning to deal with them and the net idiots who seems to want to knock anyone who is succeeding at whatever they do.
Had a quick chat with him afterwards and he said to say hi to everyone on here. And if you get chance to catch him on anything like this (or the Hackett tour) do - you will not be disappointed.
