About Me

Aaron Haines, born, October 16th, 1987, in San Diego California, has been eating, sleeping and drumming every day since July 2002! He is a memeber of Melodic punk/hardcore band, Tantive-IV, for almost 6 years now. Check out my drumming and most importantly my band at www.myspace.com/stayontargetcv Any questions about my drums, gear or related issues about drumming, just message or comment me on this myspace. You can also E-mail me at [email protected] You can also chat with me on AIM, and my SN is PV x Master "PV" stands for Pearl Vision, the type of drums I use, while the "v" and the "x" are put together to make "vx" the type of Pearl Vision series drums I use. So my drums are Pearl VX Vision series drums.

NYLON TIP IS THE BEST! YOU GET GREAT CRISPY AND CLEAR TONES FROM YOUR CYMBALS! WOOD TIP IS JUST AS GOOD BUT WON'T LAST AS LONG. THE WOOD BEGINS TO CHIP AND CRACK :(
