Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Since Keith mentioned related matters, here's something that definitely 
won't be the sort of thing you'd expect to hear on here.

My g/f has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and one possible thing that might 
help that is diet, and the diet we are undertaking is the Paleolithic 
diet, which basically means eat the diet you have evolved to eat. 
Pre-agriculture. So it's basically, meat, fish, eggs, nuts, veg (but not 
starchy veg like potatoes) and fruit, and herbs/spices. Nothing 
processed, no grains or legumes. Except we don't eat meat, so there's 
lots of fish.

Sounds boring, but with good quality foods (we've always bought organic, 
and are lucky enough to live in a fishing town) the food is actually 
genuinely fantastic.

I'm also a runner, and, two weeks into this diet, I have had issues with 
stamina, since there's little carbohydrate there. I think I've resolved 
that with dried apricots and bananas.

Other than that I feel fantastic. Specifically, I feel like I'm really 
here and I'm more open to what's going on around me. Prior to this we 
didn't eat a bad diet, so I imagine the transition from a poor diet to 
this would be even more marked.

I've had two practices recently, and both times my drumming's been much 
improved, and my interaction with other band members and willingness to 
try something new on the spur of the moment has increased.

I noticed this, but at the last practice, the other band members noticed 
it too.

So maybe drumming is like a sport, you kinda need your body and mind to 
be all sorted out.

I've lost weight too.

Not sure how it'll pan out long-term, but this has improved my drumming 
more than practicing my paradiddles.

I'm not selling anything, just thought I'd share.
