Milan Janak, vocal.
Hey I'm Porky, doing drums.
I am Sabon and I play bass.
Robert, grinding guitar.
Welcome to C.D. practice room.
It's our little place with some egg plates, for a better sound.
It's the cheapest way.
So it's pretty fine here, only kind of cold.
We practice after a long time and we're happy for it.
Let me show you the toilet we don't actually have.
Mic is still with me...
No toilets around, some old room here, another there...
Down there is the toilet and a main door with a security for help.
This is about 8th or 9th practice room.
First one was in Hermanice, second in Pist.
Third was in Vitkovice, then another in some ghetto area.
Then we were in rock club OHEN and also shared a place with Sheeva yoga after that.
And so we have end up here...perhaps I forgot some.
It is someone else's, it is someone else's!!!
This is a place in privat property, with security so we don't need to worry about burglars.
It's some kind of periphery of the part Zabreh
So you don't see much of a beauty out of the window.
But it fits to the style, it has to be underground.
The practice room isn't big, despite the cold even kinda comfortable with the heats.
We share this with two other bands, communicating with each other on internet.
So there is no problem with anyone.
We pay 1500,- which makes it 500,- for each band. Therefor every guy pays only about 125 crowns.
The price is really nice.
We practice basically once a week, sometimes twice, before a gig.
Sometimes even right before the show, because we are a bit busy.
Especially Robert here, works in a hospital on shifts and has a family too. Also Milan.
Tracks are composed by Robert, who comes with a riff and Porky makes the rhythm then.
Then I follow with the bass and Milan makes some noises at the last.
C.D. plays since the 1997 and changed few members, such as "Kamen" who found some better things to do.
Later then "Stezy" joined with second bass and also Pode grabed the drums for some time.
Pode got replaced with Porky here and my brother took my place at the same time.
But he left lately and here I am back again.
Anyway I play this Peavey Wolfking 100, lamp, with Marschal speaker.
Had some copy of Marschal JC800 before that. It plays kinda good.
Guitar is Yamaha RGX 312 with Saymour Duncan sensor. And then I use noise suppressor pedal.
I got this Musicman bass which I found in Scotland. where a friend of mine sold it really cheap.
By the way, it has four strings... that is just fine for me.
Sound device is all Behringer, nothing special for most of musicans but it's enough. Bass is deep.
I don't use any effects, no boosters or distortions, I prefer clean sound of a low tone bass.
Well, the drums aren't mine, nor the cymbals. I just got these sticks, soultone china and snare.
Mine own drums are Mapex M-birch, Zildjan cymbals, standart Basix double pedal and vintage ride cymbal.
And I scream with a SHURE microphone C606 trought this Behringer combo which is used for keyboards too.
I scream with inhales, outhales, growls, yells. Armstrong, all kinds...
I like different voices in music, so it's not so simple like it use to be.
