“[The drum I commissioned is] five feet in diameter. And then it’s like six and a half feet long. And it got delivered here on a massive truck. And it’s like, ‘How do we get this thing inside?’ We couldn’t. So I was able to roll it with six people into the garage. It barely fit under the garage door. And that’s how we got it inside. So I sampled that thing extensively. And it sounds wonderful in that score.”
