I'd like to execute the fuck who pulled this shit:


VITAL REMAINS drummer Tim Yeung has had all of his cymbals and his case stolen following the group's performance at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood, CA Sunday night (April 9).

Commented Yeung: "It happened between 11:45 p.m. and 12:45 a.m. while DEICIDE [the headlining band] was on stage.

"I cannot believe someone would stoop down so low and steal someone else's gear that they worked so hard to acquire. This is how I make a living, and to the contrary, I pay for all my gear out of my own pocket. My 20" Ziljdian ride was in there. I saved up for two months to buy it when I was 16 years old. My 18" B8 pro Chinese which I have had for 13 years was also in there. They have both been with me almost my entire career. My case was a gift given to me from my father 11 years ago they are all irreplaceable.

"Here is a list of the other cymbals that were stolen:

8" AAX Splash
10" HH Splash 12" Mini Hats
14" AA Mini Chinese
14" B8 Pro Chinese
16" AA Studio Crash
17" AA Fast Crash
18" Medium Thin Crash
18" BA Pro Chinese
19" Carmine Appice Devestation Chinese
20" Ziljdian Custom Ride

"All are Sabian cymbals, with the exception of the Ziljdian ride.

"If anyone has any information regarding this matter please contact me on myspace.com or through my email: [email protected]. I am offering a generous reward upon recovery of my cymbals and case."
** if anybody has any information PLEASE contact Tim or us thru myspace or the bands email :[email protected] - Tue, 11 Apr 2006 11:26pm Edited: Tue, 11 Apr 2006 11:27pm

That blows.

Be sure and check all the local used-shit message boards like usedvictoria.com & victoria.craigslist.org.

If I were you I would check the vancouver ones too. - Wed, 12 Apr 2006 12:34pm Edited: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 12:34pm

It happened in California, dipshit, so I doubt any of this gear will be showing up used in Victoria or Vancouver. - Wed, 12 Apr 2006 2:18pm Edited: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 2:18pm

I agree with Ross on this one... it happened in California, which, in case you didn't know, isn't exactly a couple blocks away. - Wed, 12 Apr 2006 6:16pm Edited: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 6:16pm

I happen to care because I was impressed with his work on Hate Eternal's 'Conquering The Throne' and Agiel's 'Dark Pantheons Again Will Reign.' I'm no drummer mind you, I just think it sucks that it happens dudes like this. Just general chit-chat because I'm bored. - Wed, 12 Apr 2006 9:08pm Edited: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 9:11pm

Hey Akylore do you remember the Deicide show last summer when someone was trying to rip off their gear and Glen Benton ran out and made short work of the would be thieves? (FUCK I HATE THIEVES!!!) - Wed, 12 Apr 2006 9:33pm Edited: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 9:36pm

Don't get me wrong, I hate thieves, and it sucks for him... I'm just saying that there isn't much chance that this equipment is going to show up anywhere near Victoria. - Wed, 12 Apr 2006 10:36pm Edited: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 10:37pm

Yeah, I didn't actually read anything other than "shit got stolen" and assumed this was a local band... due to the fact that it's on a local message board... or maybe due to the fact that I'm a dipshit... who knows!? - Thu, 13 Apr 2006 9:21am Edited: Thu, 13 Apr 2006 9:23am

I almost made the same mistake, Box Drone. Had it actually happened in Victoria, your suggestions would've been quite valid. - Thu, 13 Apr 2006 11:18am Edited: Thu, 13 Apr 2006 11:19am

Don't get me wrong, I'm just powowing with Akylore, not disagreeing with you. - Thu, 13 Apr 2006 7:58pm Edited: Thu, 13 Apr 2006 7:59pm
