it looks like an older Premier XPK or APK to me. That's before they were replaced by some of the newer models they have out now.

thats quite a diverse group of artists... it really shows akira's range and how versatile he is... something I'd like to go for!

the name akira jimbo sounds like a clown or something rather than a drummer.. jimbo jumbo mumbo

[full metal]

yea it is a really funny sounding name but the name akira alone usealy demands a lot of honor I dont rember exactly what it translates out to but it is like naming your kid after a famos person.
and it is a very popular name in japan.
jimbo is the same way as well a very popular name and the name jimbo comes from a very famouse samirui.

sorry Im a little sick today so I am not able to think strait or type real good.

well it's a just a name.. in the end, you must earn your respect.. and akira jimbo has done so with his sick drum playing!
