Share this video because this is a prophetic message under a prophetic assignment by the grace of God. It was around 5pm when God began to speak to me that I must speak using this media. I must speak to the president of the Republic of Zambia. As I was seeking the first of God I asked God what is it that I have to say to him. The Lord began to minister to me. He said I cannot do anything minus revealing it to you the prophet. According to Amos chapter 3 verse number 7. God bless you everybody. Share this video. I can see people watching me from as far as Sulwezi. I can see people watching me from within the nation of Zambia. My name is Prophet Ian Genesis and I am the man that is carrying the Genesis mandate. Demonstrating the God of the beginning in the now. God bless you and share this live video wherever you are. Especially if you are in the nation of Zambia. Invite somebody. Invite your friends. Invite your family. Tell them that the prophet of the nation is live and he is here to address the highest office in the nation. God bless you everybody. I can see people watching me from Kopa Belt. God bless you. I can see people watching from Kasumbalesa. When God wants to speak to a nation you can never hear God from heaven beginning to speak. But he uses a prophet as a medium for him to communicate to his people. So it is not by mistake or by coincidence or by accident that I am speaking. I am speaking because God has given me a divine assignment as a prophet in the nation of Zambia. They are pastors, they are bishops, they are apostles and they ask the prophets. One of the assignments of the prophets is to release the mind of God to the people. So some of you may be saying that man of God why at such a time as these you want to address the president of the Republic of Zambia because God has spoken to me. One of the things that God wants to remind His Excellency President Edgar Chagwalungu is that in 2016 when God chose him to be a leader of the nation of Zambia he did not have the support of the cabinet. He did not have the support of the PF patriotic friend. He was actually someone that was not even considered to be somebody that can be a president in the party. So God has sent me to remind the president His Excellency that he has made a lot of mistakes in his speaking. The people that he was supposed to reject during this election he has decided to bring them back. And that is one of the mistakes that the president has made. He has decided to embrace those that God has decided to reject or through his tenure God has been with him or through his tenure God has been with you but you have decided to listen to the people that don't hear God and you have decided to ignore the voice of God. The Lord is speaking and the Lord is speaking expressly that at this time where we are heading to elections number one the president of the Republic of Zambia you need to be very very careful and seek the first of God. You need to seek the first of God not to make the wrong decisions as we are going towards August election. One of the things that God has spoken to me is that it has even come out into the limelight of the fact that doctors cannot go on strike. Doctors cannot go on cost law. Doctors must be paid. Doctors must be paid. The Lord is saying that the president must redeem his integrity in the nation of Zambia. He must redeem himself to the people of Zambia and to the nation of Zambia at large. The Lord gave you the presidency on a platter of God. Do not allow the support of people, do not allow the support of fellow politicians to deceive you. The Lord is speaking and is speaking expressly go back to what God told you when he chose you as a leader in the nation of Zambia. God is saying you cannot decide to keep those who are supposed to fire and expect God to be happy with you. You cannot keep those that have undermined your capacity and your intelligence as a president because of looking for votes. You need to remember your excellency that these people did not vote for you in 2016. They did not even choose you when the convention happened in Kawwe. They did not choose you. So do not please them. Do not please those that you are supposed to reject. That said, the spirit of God. In the next two months that we are entering in right now your excellency, you need to do the right thing. And what is the right thing? The right thing is for you not to listen to the voices of those that are encouraging you when you go astray. The Lord is saying it is for you to seek the face of God and do the right thing. It is time for you your excellency to redeem your integrity and your personality.  There are people around you that don't have your best interest at heart. And you know them and you laugh with them but the Lord is saying don't laugh with them. The people that have rejected you, reject them. That said, the spirit of the living God. God is speaking to you expressly. In these two months that are remaining to the elections the Lord is saying do everything possible to do what is in the best interest of the people of Zambia. Do what is in the best interest of the people of Zambia. And one of the things that I'm just going to give you as an example is that you should not allow people to die in hospitals because doctors have gone on school floor. The doctors were promised to be paid. And now people have turned around not to pay the doctors and this will bring your name in disrepute. This will bring your reputation and your integrity in disrepute. Do the right thing. The Lord is saying your excellency he loves you and he is still with you but you need to reject those that God has rejected within your party circles. Within your party circles there are people that God has spoken through the prophets that you are not supposed to be with. The Lord is saying why are you keeping them? Why are you keeping people that the SEC is investigating? Why are you still keeping people that you dropped down from ministerial positions? Why are you still keeping them? That said the spirit of the living God your excellency. Why did you allow the central committee to choose people that you dropped as ministers to run again as members of parliament? These are the things that the most high God is not happy with you and you need to correct the errors. You need to correct the mistakes. You need to correct the errors. You need to correct the mistakes. Your excellency you cannot choose people that have been investigated for corruption you choose them as to run as members of parliament. Your excellency without fear of contradiction the hand of God that is upon you will be removed if you don't do the right thing. The hand of God which is upon you will be removed if you do not do the right thing. The Lord is saying in heaven that you must do the right thing. You must do the right thing. And many people that do not understand anything about the prophetic these are people that criticize the prophetic. The people that do not understand the office of the prophet these are people that reject the council of the prophet. Any king that does not listen to the council of the prophet any king that is destined for downfall. Your excellency God is speaking to you yet before an election there are people that you need to reject. Wisdom is profitable to direct. The Lord is saying there are people that you know deep down in your heart you know that these people you are not supposed to keep them around you but instead you have kept them around you the Lord is saying reject them because you don't need them all you need is God but if you allow yourself to be confident in people and to be confident in men the same men you are confident in we make you fall. That said the spirit of the living God that it is God that chose you and the same God that chose you can reject you you do not do what God is saying for the spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet the Lord is speaking to you expressly your excellency the president of the Republic of Zambia remember how you became a president remember how God picked you up from where God picked you up from and how you became a president remember how you had no support even from your colleagues remember how you did not have support even from your relatives and your family members remember what God did for you God set you on high for the nation of Zambia there is still time for you to do the right thing there is still time for you to do the right thing there is still time for you to do the right thing there is still time for you to do the right thing that said the spirit of the living God unto you reject those that God has rejected blessed is a man that worketh not in the council of the cronful blessed is the man that worketh not in the council of the cronful or in the path of the wicked blessed is that man your excellency God has blessed you with wisdom God has blessed you with understanding but one of your weaknesses is that those that have betrayed you you do not chest them away you still embrace them there are people that are biting you and you are still embracing them the Lord say those that God have rejected reject them that said the Lord unto Zambia it shall be well with Zambia if you reject those that God have rejected the Lord say it shall be well with Zambia if those that have looted Zambia using the name of His excellency the president if those that have misused the resources of Zambia if you can reject them the Lord will still lift you if you can reject them the Lord will still be with you for you shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water which bears fruit in season your presidency is shaking your excellency because you have decided to embrace those that God have rejected that said the Lord that said the Lord reject them the crown is still on your head but it is up to you to remove the crown the crown is still on your head president Edgar Chagwalungu the crown is still on your head but it is up to you to remove the crown na iziwekiyatisha hansuwo na wajahua, na maiga gaoka-ngeisha na kawafuwa, maika-nea kwa na mika-kawafuwa na maiga-ngeisha na kawafuwa na maiga-najaa na kawafuwa kwa maikati ni yeheni. That said, the Lord, nami katia ni kuhua, maika-ngeja na mendi uhoja, There are many which doctors that are brewing confusion in the realm of the spirit and the Lord is saying unto you, Zambia, it shall be well with you, Zambia. There are already projections in the realm of the spirit so that they can be confusion in Zambia, but the Lord is saying it shall be well with you, Zambia. It shall be well with you, Zambia. It shall be well with you. Your Excellency, one of the mistakes you have made during this short period to the elections is the issue of prisoners, the issue of prisoners, the issue of prisoners. Already you have already seen a sign where an escaped prisoner, prisoner, raped somebody. Your Excellency, that decision was not made from the premise of prayer. That decision was not made from the foundation of prayer. That decision was made in a rush. And that is not a decision that can help you win an election. That is a decision that can make you to lose an election. Your Excellency, you need to reconsider. Look at the safety of Zambians. Look at the safety of the children that God has put into your hands as a custodian. Already as parliament is dissolved, as members of parliament are no longer a group that makes up government, they do not care about you. All they care about is to win in their constituencies and come back in parliament. Now is the time you have to demonstrate to the people of Zambia. Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus. There will be no confusion. There will be no confusion in the realm of the spirit because we are praying. Zambia, God is calling you to the place of prayer. Zambia, God is calling you to the place of discernment. God is calling you to the place of understanding. God is calling you to the place of wisdom. The people of Zambia, you are people that God has called by His name.    And as a nation that God is calling to prayer, Zambia, the word of the Lord is saying, it shall be well with you. The Lord is saying, the most high God is saying, those that wish to do blood sacrifices in the nation of Zambia, the Lord say he will arrest them. The Lord say he will arrest them in his power. The Lord say he will arrest them in his glory because they will not succeed to shed blood in the nation of Zambia. They will not succeed. They will not succeed. They will not succeed. They will not succeed. I saw in the vision how they wanted to begin to shed blood in the nation of Zambia and the Lord says they will not succeed. In this nation that is a covenant nation, a nation under God, they will not succeed. And every Zambian, every Zambian, this is a prophetic instruction to every Zambian from today till the election, every midnight wake up at midnight. Every Zambian, this is a prophetic instruction. Every Zambian wake up at midnight and bleed the blood over the nation of Zambia. Zambia shall be preserved. Zambia shall not go in disarray. Zambia shall not go in a place of confusion. Zambia shall be peace and love in the nation of Zambia. They shall be love and peace in the nation of Zambia. This is what the spirit of the Lord is saying. Though they may signal confusion and this is the desires of the enemies of Zambia that they may signal confusion in the realm of the spirit but the Lord says hold your peace Zambia. Hold your peace because there's going to be a lot of misinformation even on social media. There's going to be a lot of misinformation. People are going to be carrying a lot of misinformation but the Lord is saying over Zambia, hold your peace. Hold your peace. Hold your peace. And to the men and women of God in Zambia that have not maintained their integrity that speak because they have been paid to speak by individuals the Lord says he has rejected you and he will not speak through you. That's what the spirit of the Lord is saying that those men and women that have corrected a blime in order for them to prophesy, in order for them to speak over this covenant nation to speak lies the Lord say he has rejected you and he has rejected your office but they that speak according to the premise of God they that speak according to the ordinances of the Lord the Lord say he shall use you to bless Zambia. There is something that God is going to do in this season in the nation of Zambia because Zambia is a covenant nation. The Lord is saying to you Zambia that it may look like things are working to the disadvantage of Zambia but there is something that the Lord is doing in the realms of the spirit because God uses the foolish things of this world to exhort the wise that said the spirit of the Lord even those that do not agree with me even those that do not agree with the ordinances that God is speaking to you you will see the fulfillment of the word of the Lord you will see the fulfillment of the word of the Lord in the land of the living that said the spirit of the living God the confusion in the realm of the spirit we are going to take 21 days we are going to take 21 days as Zambians 21 days every midnight as a Zambian wake up in the midnight you are a watchman on the city gates because people have brought witchcraft in the nation of Zambia people have brought satanism in the nation of Zambia because they want to win an election but the Lord says if my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then will I hear from heaven I will forgive their sins and I will heal their land now shall my eyes and my ears be attentive unto their prayer now shall I sanctify this house that my face shall be perpetually there hear me and hear me well wherever you are hearing the sound of my voice it is a time for Zambians to be in consecration it is a time for Zambia to enter a place of consecration it's a time for presidents to enter the place of consecration and the Lord is saying by the spirit of the living God that every politician, every MP, every counselor, every president that has consulted a sorcerer, that has consulted a witch that has consulted a malam, that has consulted adibia so that they can be installed in the nation of Zambia the Lord is saying the land of Zambia by itself we reject them the Lord is saying the nation of Zambia as a covenant land it has got the ability to reject the rejectables thus say the spirit of the Lord unto you that the land of Zambia we begin to reject those that need to be rejected the land of Zambia we begin to reject those that must be rejected the Zambian people are suffering but part of the suffering of the Zambian people is because of the manipulation of the wicked people in the realms of the spirit some of the problems that we are facing in Zambia are not as a result of mere mortals some of them are as a result of the spiritual manipulation but if my people who are caught by my name shall humble themselves and pray thus say the spirit of the Lord unto you Zambia 21 days of prayer at midnight Zambians must wake up and seek the face of God Zambians must seek the face of God Zambians must seek the face of God Zambians must seek the face of God President Edigalungu I repeat and I reaffirm the word of the Lord go back to why God chose you as president do not look at those that support you because many that support you are actually against you they use you and you are aware of this but you have kept your enemies closer the Lord is saying there is no need for you to keep your enemies closer the Lord is saying you must take your enemies very far away from you thus said the spirit of the Lord unto you thus said the spirit of the Lord unto you thus said the spirit of the Lord unto you thus said the spirit of the Lord unto you for each shall be well with Zambia each shall be well with Zambia each shall be well with Zambia there people were asking when shall we start the 21 days the 21 days starts tomorrow We need to look for a good King for Jama' tissue for him to be a leader of the people. He's said that we should not be worried about what by God will do. So it's not going to happen. It's going to happen. It's going to happen. It's going to happen. We are going to change this. We are going to change this. kwenisha wa kwenisha. The will of God will prevail more than the will of the people. Because many other times people make mistakes because the sight of men is temporal, but the sight of God is eternal. So in this August 2021 election, the Lord is saying his will will prevail more than the will of the people. For the Lord is saying unto you Zambia that I know the plans I have for you. pardon bas mi- 13 karmu na God chose you as president. Therefore, if you rely on those people, God will reject you. Go back. Go back. This is a prophetic warning. Go back.  There is a covenant that God wants to fulfill in the nation of Zambia. There is a covenant of what God wants to do in this season and in this time. And God requires the remnant of Zambia. God requires the men and women that fear God in the nation of Zambia. These are the people that God requires to fulfill his purpose, his mission and his assignment. Shall be well with Zambia. Shall be well with Zambia. There is a prophetic assignment Jesus. There is a prophetic assignment what God wants to do between now and August. There is something that God is trying to do in the realms of the spirit. In this thing we require Zambians to seek the face of God. Because if Zambians do not seek the face of God, they will make choices in an election by manipulation. The Bible says when the righteous rule the people rejoice. When the wicked rule the people are in sorrow. There is something that God wants to do in this prophetic dispensation. And it requires every Zambian that fears God. It requires every Zambian that knows the name of the Lord to come together in one accord, in prayer and in supplication for the favorite prayer of the righteous man. A velleth march. I'm calling upon every politician that loves Zambia. The favorite prayer of the righteous man. A velleth march. To all the politicians the Lord is warning you because every sham that we enter into the nation of Zambia the Lord will reject the presenter of the sham and the person holding the sham. Zambia is re-consecrated. Zambia is redirected. Zambia is re-consecrated. Zambia is redirected. And hear me and hear me well. The will of God in this August 2021 election will prevail more than the will of the people. My name is Prophet Ian Genesis. And I am the man that is carrying the Genesis mandate. Demonstrating the God of the beginning in the now. Zambia shall be well with you. The message is simple. President Edgar Chagwalungu don't embrace people that God has rejected. The message is loud and clear. Don't embrace people that God has rejected. To the people of Zambia the message is simple. There is a wind of confusion. There is a wind of blood shed in the realms of the spirit but the Lord say you shall take 21 days. As a nation you shall take 21 days of prayer. Midnight prayer as a watchman on the gates of the city. Watching over the nation. Watching over the nation. It is not every prophet that God gives a prophetic assignment to speak over a nation. The reason why many of you are watching me right now thousands of Zambians, the reason why you are watching me right now is because God has given me a prophetic assignment to be a national prophet by the grace of God. It is not by accident or by coincidence that you are here listening to the sound of a voice but it is because of the prophetic assignment that God has given me in a nation.  God has given me a platform and as you are listening to the sound of a voice may God give you discernment to hear that it is Elohim that is speaking. May God make you hear that it is Elohim that it is Elohim that is speaking. Because it is not easy to listen to a prophet speaking. It is very easy to listen to a Sangoma. It is very easy to listen to a witch. It is very easy to listen to a satanist. It is very easy to listen to people that are making all sorts of jokes. It is not easy to listen to a prophet. It takes the spirit of God to listen to the prophet. It takes the spirit of our father to listen to the prophet. All you prophets, evangelist pastors, by the grace of God, they are pastors who listen to the sound of our voice. Those who are under mentorship under the office of the prophet and those that are not under mentorship under the office of the prophet, they are bishops that are listening to the sound of our voice. Your spirit beareth witness that we are sons of God. Your spirit beareth witness that I come in the name of the Messiah God. Therefore, obey the prophetic instruction, obey the prophetic instruction, obey the prophetic instruction, obey the prophetic instruction, zambia enter into a place of prayer. in Jesus mighty name. Ma name is Prophet Ian Genesis and I am the man that is carrying the Genesis mandate demonstrating the Lord God of the beginning in the now and I approve this message. God bless you in Jesus mighty name. Shalom for now.

This is Moukam Jannet, I come from Cameroon, I'm a businesswoman, I work in the company of a contractor with my husband. Two years ago, I had been treated for apartheid sale, so they declared me ill. So two years after, I started feeling pain in my stomach, but didn't know it can be a cancer. It started in January 2022, but to the hospital, they saw some nodules, but the standing is not so important. Yes, they did some exam from Cameroon, I saw a specialist who did some exam and the exam show cancer, liver cancer. So, our surprise, and two years ago, in 2020, my husband was here in India, in many parts of Sweden to control his prostate. When he saw my report, he said it's good to go to India. And through one of our son, who is really fewer, he took appointment for us. I first met her on video consult many weeks ago when she had sent across her lab reports through our allies on agencies. And clearly, she had hepatitis C and HCC, which had not been diagnosed in Cameroon. This I learned on further conversation with her. Although she'd had a scan many months ago, the true significance of it was not conveyed to her. And only when the reports were seen here, and she sent across her scans on one of these cloud transfer devices, and we could discuss the scans here with our radiologist, we realized that she's got cirrhosis and HCC. So quickly, I took a visa and I came. And the cancer was growing fast. So when I saw the doctor, he said, this needs transplant liver, and so we have to look for donor. He gave us the condition for donor. Closer family between 18 and 50. So my son, Boni, said he will be a donor. The treatment here was a liver transplant operation, and I conveyed this to her as gently as I could. I didn't really expect her reaction to be this positive. She was basically accepting of the fact very quickly, and she immediately got on to her son and to her husband. And then we had a family phone call, and then we decided that the liver transplant was the way ahead. And within a few days, she was here at Manipal. And I must say that she's one of the, you know, in terms of age, one of the oldest patients that have transplanted. But I would say that, you know, her recovery, she was extubated at the end of the operation. When he project surgery, and after intensive care, the nurses take care. And I feel like home. Some sleep in this room with me to take care by night. And I tell you, three times a day, by day, doctor came to see me. I was very surprised. And anytime I say, I want to see doctor, they were there. Generally what happens is liver transplant patients get to stay on the ventilator for at least a day or so. But Janet was so fit and strong and so positive that she could be extubated at the end of the operation. We did not transuse any blood or blood products. She recovered very nicely. She had a little episode of mild rejection, which was treated with some newer medicines that we have here at Manipal. And I've seen her at follow-up today, and she's looking the picture of, you know, of the best of health for anybody. Her son, who was a living liver donor, also has come through the operation in a very, you know, speedy manner. And to be honest, he's fit to go back home. Now, I live with a part of liver of my son. That is amazing. When you are well treated, you recover quick. When you have all you need, you recover quick. Until the last minute, I'm leaving hospital. We have gifts.  So I hope that this life-saving operation, which her son, you know, has been instrumental in her, you know, coming through, gives her a very, very long lease of life and made the song and the song in her heart continue. I want to say so much a deeper thank to Manipal Comprehensive Liver Transplant in Bangalore. I want to say thank you to Manipal Hospital, who take care of my son and me. We are very happy with doctor, with all the staff. We are satisfied.

Q&A that was funny. Let me get this out of here. Oops wrong one Comments so many so many comments Bright says you are such a cardano shill. That's what I don't get about you. Otherwise. Love you to bits Let's see I need that cardano at two bucks so I can leave two dollar crown would be pretty great. I gotta tell you You know in 2018 2019 when Cardano was seven cents nine cents I was like, I think I could do pretty well once it gets a main net and get some smart contracts worked out. Okay Cap or die says Jarky thanks to the membership Jarky's always given out some memberships. Thank you appreciate it so much Vicki says I'm glad to see cornucopia is here Josh and Robert legends looks like they've been doing a lot of work a lot of work Hotsky says is anyone seeing this or was I blocked again for liking Cardano? See Rob's a Rob's a carano shill, but he blocks people as it is. Oh, you see you man Alex Mansfield older new stay in we're all winners and this would go back to The survey that we took a look at where most people were saying that their crypto portfolio underperformed I get that just if you don't like the price It's like it's like the rain in Puerto Rico Just wait around it'll change Crypto golfer currently getting crushed not leaving never leaving. See that was my thing too in 20 2018. I was like, wow I just lost 75 80% of my own tire portfolio and now three weeks. I should probably stick around That was my that was my thought process. I have words longer than most people in the assassin Most people have been in a year or less. So that's that's not a surprise It's a surprise to me because I have this flaw and the flaw is I think people are like me and they've been around for a while But then I realized that's not true People really have just come in in 2021.  I'm not rich I'm doing okay.  It's very true my money's there too even Mark Cuban as smart as he is even his money's there. There was a pension fund in Canada. Guess what 150 million their money's there They and do you not think that they did their due diligence take a look at those at those companies a lot of people did we just got we got screwed by a company that Row checks the body couldn't cash. That's really what it comes down to. I'm sure it's all gonna come on chapter 11 But that's really what it comes down to I will not accept the fact that all it was just victim of circumstance You have to take responsibility.  That's right. That's a good one Crypto is too early and future use cases haven't been dreamed of yet, which is always very right So it doesn't matter how far ahead of project is now especially most activities from NFTs and unintentional Ponzi's Think about this way If you're in 1980 and you're perusing the classified sections in a newspaper and you're looking for Advertisements for jobs and somebody says here. I need someone who can do SEO up optimization search engine optimization I need someone who can also do buying and selling of Facebook ads Oh and also I need someone who can do a vlog for me For my website you'd be like what the heck is this? This doesn't make any sense The things that are out there now hold on Sorry The the things that we think about of what we believe Crypto visual assets metaverse plays NFTs are gonna be it's gonna change radically It's the same thing when I went through for the internet We really did think that the government would never allow the internet because it was a free flow of information We had we just never thought it actually happened and it did happen and then we thought it was only gonna be Swear to God a lot of people thought this like one website and that would be everything You just go there's one website and then be there And we had no idea what it was and to think about a place where You could stream movies that'll never work heck I remember having a blockbuster Account and go in a blockbuster renting the VHS and then when I was older I get to rent DVDs and I was like who would try to stream a sir That's stupid and of course you look at the at the stream of the videos That's all chunky and and blocky like that's never gonna work. So again always right We will never gonna know what's gonna be until we get there Arthur says just here to like your video. Well, thank you. I appreciate Arthur Cornucopia is rockstar team. It looks good iguana Puerto Rico Cardano is the boomer coin. That could be true I'm not a boomer yet close to it, but I like it.  Go ask the people who found in my space and let them tell you So we'll see Oops, sorry I'm our bull sheneda in the very long term since ETH is just 55% complete even with how far ahead it's on its activity Since there's too much risk with things going wrong between labor. See that's just I don't know. I don't know That's why I still own a theorem As much as I think iguana said a lot in this one and how great Ethereum is it is doing pretty good. It's got the lion's share. That's and as far as like For total value locked up in DeFi right now. It's hidden all cylinders. That's true But there's problems across there. You can't say it's the most awesome thing of all time We'll talk about fees and we'll talk about transaction speed and all that stuff It is what it is Nothing's nothing can really handle a lot of things on a global scale for billions of transactions or billions of people I don't think it's there yet That game looks sick. I got to agree I'm not an NFT guy says St. Jude needs us and it makes believe and and it makes believe that land is just not something I feel good investing in I don't blame you when I took a look at it I was like Like I invest in the land and properties and things like that. I might take a look at a virtual and like It's just hard to say because there's really not much scarcity, you know, you can just create more but I also remember this I also remember back in the day when People would say Why would I why would I invest in a company called Google when I can just make a Google swear to God We said that and we're like, what's the difference between Google and Yahoo and Lycos and ask G It's all the same stuff. Anyhow, right? You just make another one.   I think here's the ecosystem Nobody cares here's how much they have as far as staked Pretty good amount and one more thing when you two point out comes about I was under the impression you could unsteak, but you can't unsteak the heat that you put in there Until the Shanghai upgrade, which is gonna be in six or 12 months later so I'm just saying but on the flip side of that the theorem foundation did say that's The rewards could go up by 50 percent. That's pretty nice. Actually So Cardano staking ratio Here's the top 10 crypto assets by sticking market cap if there is number one true Slot is number two and crowns number three not bad company poke it out buy and chain Defi Lama, here's the total amount of total value locked up for as far as defi 72 billion dollars a theorem has a lion's share very true 45 billion Bitcoin got a whopping hundred eighteen point five five million and Cardano the only got hundred eighteen point five six million. So at least it beats Cardano And then we talk about transaction and fees Crypto fees for a theorem is huge like if you take a look there's a website Crypto fees or sorry crypto fees that info and one day fees for a theorem is a lot They have a lot of fees, which is good if you're a company, right? Because you can generate revenue And if you take a look at yes for for fees us the value average transaction fee was about four dollars This is back in July 28. I just the transaction is only like two bucks. I guess not too many people are using I think as much Cardano, this is a was this a one-day. Yeah, the one-day fees for crowns $13,000 It's laughable if they're in with three million six hundred fifty five thousand seven thirty one dollars That's triple you takes the cake though seven seven hundred fifty bucks. It's pretty good and again 19 cents was the average transaction and Was this one some cost of transactions? Oh, yeah This is the The amount of transactions or how many transactions Ethereum if you look at just the transactions in Masari Ethereum crushes Cardano the transaction count was 1,058,621 that was on July 31st and Cardano only had 91,000 Which you have to remember You can put multiple assets on each transaction and that's why you do what's called an entrusted adjusted transaction volume This is an estimated on trains transaction volume for the past 24 hours adjusted to try and remove some type of non Economic transactions, you know back and forth nonsense stuff like approving your entry into metamask or whatever else For the adjusted transaction volume In one day if they aimed at 1.52 billion it's a lot it's a lot that's a lot But Cardano did 7.82 billion for the adjusted transaction volume. That's just not me and you can verify all this stuff There's all the places. I found it on Masari on crypto fees and info defi llama whatever else and the link Is in the description it's what I put it It's called rip cardano ghost chain. There's a link you can check it out. So pros and cons my man pros and cons Brandon's got a good question And so I need to bring this up to Josh and Rob. How are you guys making the game? We're talking about cornucopia's Economics so that you avoid the problem that axi underwent and is actually currently undergoing With assets getting too valuable for new people to come in. I remember I think Josh has something about that He said we're going slow because we don't want to be drained as far as the economic factors And as far as like a plate-earned game, what if you just have a run on the game and people they earn too much Then just drains the entire game. I think that's what's one of the problems of axi I can't speak to it because I don't really follow axi Remember super bias in this channel. I don't talk about unless I own it. So I don't know an axi So I don't know much about it God love it Ckj's total disappointment is a 30-point on the still high fees. That's not a Look, everybody wants the fees to go down, but just not yet. Look the next one The merge is happening I want to say it's gonna happen relatively soon Correct me the comments, but I know it's What is it I forgot it's coming up. I think it's like a week week and a half or so somewhere on there And they talk about how fees are still high. That's still the truth But remember there's still one more level to go to get to the the e2.0 Wherever they want to call it now, which is sharding and once that happens then the fees do go lower over early So who knows I Did not know this Darth Mike says the usual develop cycle for a game is around four years That's a lot and I was surprised what Josh said about star atlas the game. I think it's built on slope the Solana platform eight years Is one they're projecting, you know mass The mass release that's a long time and that could be I don't know. That's just what Josh Now I mean, this is very great. Thank you When chatting about pros and cons of beta please hit the like button and then You're entitled to your opinion I think that if this space taught us something is to be humble and now and know that we don't know It's just like it's like Senate. It's in a car. Marcus. No, it wasn't Marcus release. I think it was Seneca I said I'm the smartest man in the world because I know that I know nothing By the dip when moon oh Says it's still technically all season even after the dump from the weekend per outside all season index Oh, where do you find that? I'm interested all season index. I'd be interesting Hit the likes Where can I check what percentage of nodes have upgraded at water? That's a great question. You're looking for This website right here It's pool tool that IO and I link that in the description so you can verify this stuff Which is right here pool tool go down to data pool tool that IO network health Should take you right here. Oh look even in this time that we've been talking it's gone from 51% to 52% So they're upgrading. Hey, look at that looking pretty good breaking news All that stuff That's funny. I'm staking Yeah, he's staking not my keys not my crypto. Thank you It's one of those things I don't That's why I do like Cardano knocked it out of the park For staking I Don't care if you love Ethereum or you love Salon or love whatever else they really did crush it You keep your keys your private keys you can stake your Cardano You don't have to lock it up, which I understand why people want them to lock it up because it Maintains the reliability of network and then it's it's a there's an economic incentive. I understand that but it's pretty interesting that Cardano holders can lock up or not lock up Let's take their Cardano and take it out at any time they want to but it's still over 71 percent of All the Cardano is being staked if you don't believe me just go to staking rewards calm You can see the data yourself So in that regard and it works flawlessly we ever say we have two stake pools works out great And that's it Kornico was a man Yeah, no lock up radar. Thanks Jeremy best friend town, but with your thumb and We're coming up on that time folks. I don't own her ago. Do you not owner ago? I remember seeing your liking tweets later ago. I never see Tom on it. Yeah, cuz There's a lot of product I should look into I just don't cuz there's other things going on cuz remember. It's not just this I have to do other stuff takes my time so I Haven't really gotten into it. I Think someone to like give me like the the cliff notes Hmm I got a call them saying deadlines tomorrow Ready says I trust staking staking fees or I I just take my polka dot. I Do have to do a video on that matter of fact because just know that With I trust Roth IRA all that stuff. It's the thing that's sitting above my head all the time on every video They late they rolled out their staking You can stake your your your your polka dot right now and it's supposed to be Attacks free but in their terms and conditions It does state that hey if you earn more than six hundred dollars worth of staking rewards We have to give you an N and I think it's MISC 99 or a tax document and it's up to you if you want to report it and the reason I think is because The laws are so vague with I mean, let's be honest Congress and the SEC and the CFTC can't tell us if crypto is a security if it's a currency or if it's a commodity They have no idea. I mean they have their ideas, but no one's really say this is what it is right now It's not a security who knows what it's gonna be and then as far as like staking rewards in a Roth IRA There's nothing concrete. So they're just saying hey talk with your CPA and go from there I'm just gonna tell you what I'm doing. I'm not saying what you should do. I'm not I'm not a financial advisor I can't tell you what to do. I'm not your dad So what I'm doing is I'm staking those those polka dot in my Roth IRA and I will not report The gains that I get from there. That is what I am doing. I've already talked to my CPA They're like this isn't I don't see why you would do that, but that's my CPA your CPA might be like you got it whatever, okay, but I'll figure that out ready. We'll go from there. I Don't know if you should do that. I can't tell you what to do again though I'm gonna take out a 10% loan to loan to buy low Okay, I can't tell you what to do Might be a genius move might be might lose 10% is 10. Here's the real question as far as like risk There's the three questions Who what and squeeze who's is gonna affect?  I don't know What's the worst-case scenario worst-case scenario is everything crashes then you have margin calls Then you have to fill those margin calls if you don't fill the margin calls then guess what happens to get liquidated Oh and another thing once you get liquidated. That's a taxable event in America. I don't know where you're at So you have to think about those and then the last thing is is the juice worth the squeeze Is it is it worth it to go out there and do those things and take the risk? I can't answer that but that's for you I Used to like the show happy day with the bonds that I Want to succeed so do I that's why I invested into it Everything I invest into I want to succeed. Isn't that crazy? That's why I talk about all the time Yeah corner Kobe's equal second life second life was a good game, and I think that's it. I miss anybody Huh, David Allen's here just to hear me talk about sweat coin. Let's see. I need more dot Mom says you're bad on child support my kids are gone. I think Dot is a Proof of stake version of ETH eight has been proof of stake for two years of without one outage or hack Can't deny that and that's it All right, so guys that is it for today and gals So thanks for sticking with me for an hour.

Hey everyone welcome to another episode of my ASML videos. I've been trading and posting videos about ASML since five months ago. ASML has been going up very nicely but compared to NVIDIA and AMD for example, not that many people seem to be tracking ASML or even know about ASML. That's why I believe it is a great opportunity for me to buy more ASML shares before it becomes one of those high conviction and extremely popular stocks. Let's get into the details. First of all let me review the price forecast I posted on July 21st. At the time I predicted that ASML would be at $750 a share or higher before the end of October 2021 and on July 21st ASML closed at $721. What a distance from my prediction. As of today August 12th it closed at $781. Definitely move in the right direction I predicted and actually went above my target. Will I be setting a new target price? We'll talk about that in the next few minutes. Stay tuned. Since I talked about NVIDIA and AMD and how they compare to ASML, let's look at the price charts. This is a one-year chart based on a daily period. The candlestick chart is ASML. As you can see ASML went up a whopping 108% last year. Certainly extremely impressive. NVIDIA being a very solid company also performed very well. It went up 74% and AMD went up 35%. Not bad. Although it's been flat for a while it only caught on in the last two or three months or so. Now if you look at the broad market QQQ representing the movement of NASDAQ 100 went up about 35% last year and SPY representing the movement of S&P 500 also went up about 35%. Definitely ASML is by far the best performing stock compared to the other ones. Now how about the popularity of ASML or how much is well known to the investors? One way I can look at it is by looking at Google Trends. This is the chart showing the number of Google searches for the three key phrases ASML stock which is represented by the blue line, NVIDIA stock from NVIDIA, the red line and AMD stock the yellow line. As you can see AMD stock the searches definitely were by far the most popular searches. Next to that is NVIDIA stock and then ASML stock was minimal compared to the other searches and that tells me that not that many people are tracking ASML stocks which is good news actually for me because if I were to buy more shares before ASML stock becomes as popular as NVIDIA or AMD and becomes a high conviction stock I expect to be able to realize a lot of profit by the time ASML gets to be as popular as the other two stocks. However this is not quite the time to buy it tomorrow or the day after maybe even. I will explain why. The other thing that you want to look at is the PEC ratio. ASML has a PEC ratio of 1.5, NVIDIA of 1.95. Usually a high PEC ratio means the stock is probably overboard and that's why NVIDIA based on the PEC ratio is definitely more overboard than ASML whereas AMD is at 1.35 which is about the same as ASML actually a little bit less overboard than ASML at least from this measurement. In my first video covering ASML I talked about the dominance they have in the EUV lithography market and the DUV lithography market which gives them a virtual monopoly in this segment of market and any semiconductor foundry that wants to produce the most advanced chips will have to purchase the equipment from ASML and that's why they've been growing so rapidly. On July 21st ASML reported their second quarter earnings and it was very positive definitely the stock price picked up because of it. Most importantly the management predicted that their sales will be growing at about 35% in 2021 exceeding the previous target of 30%. We'll talk more about that later. As far as the fat plant investments that have been announced first Intel announced that they will be investing $20 billion in new fat plants in the next couple years. Taiwan semiconductors announced that they will be investing $100 billion in the next three years and Samsung said they will be investing $300 billion through 2030 and then the EU said they would be investing also in fat plants although they didn't announce exact amount of money they will be investing but most recently as of July 26 it was reported that Taiwan semiconductor is in the process of negotiating with several German entities to talk about building fat plants in Germany. So all these new fat plants will of course lead to more sales for ASML with the EUV machines and EUV machines. That's certainly good business for ASML. Let's look at the company's sales and EPS. You can see here the sales have been grown very steadily since 2012 and the black lines ASML. NVIDIA is their blue line basically since 2016 and two of them have been going side-by-side and then the yellow line is AMV a little bit lower and then EPS ASML growth has been pretty steady and NVIDIA is about the same as ASML in the last four or five years and AMD was actually running losses all the way through 2016 and then picked up nicely in the last three or four years. Overall if you look at the EPS growth for ASML they've been growing at 23% since 2012 and most recently since 2016 they have been growing at 30% rate and of course based on the most recent management presentation during the second quarter earnings announcement the management said that they forecasted 2021 sales growth to be at 35% and that's definitely very bullish. If you like what you've seen so far I'd like to suggest that you click the like subscribe and notification button so that you'll be notified when I publish next ASML video also it'll encourage me to make more videos like this in the future. Thank you very much let's move on. In my last video I showed my calculations of the value of ASML. Primarily I look at the industry figures for trailing P ratio forward P ratio and PEC ratios and then I use assumption of 29.8 EPS annual growth and 45% forward P ratio and I arrive at these stock prices for 2021-22 and 2023 and from this range I decided to set a short-term target of $750 a share and based on price movement in the last few weeks I am increasing my target to $850 a share to be achieved by the end of November 2021 and you can see that the high range is actually more like a thousand but I usually like to be a little bit more conservative.  Let's look at the analyst opinions I will be comparing the analyst opinions as of today compared to the opinions as of July 21st 2021 that's when I published my last ASML video. First of all the closing price back then it was $721 a share now the $781.07 definitely went up a lot. My target back then was $750 a share now it is $850. Yahu business pretty much maintain everything the same with a buy rating with a high target of $820 a little bit lower than my target and Louis Neville here actually upgraded them from an overall B rating to an A rating and he upgraded them from a buy to a strong buy that's very bullish. TipRanks.com pretty much keeps everything the same CN Money upgraded their high target from 945 to 966 and median target from 730 to 800. The Street.com upgraded their high target from 923 to 1043. Let's look at the chart this is a daily chart for the last three months and this jump here is on a day when they announced the earnings since it was a very positive earnings report that's why the price jumped up and we can see that the price has been following this nice bullish upward channel since May of this year and most recently since about July 19th the price has broken above this channel but in the last four or five days it has come down a little bit and at this point if the price continues to go down it might be getting support from this upper boundary of the original channel or it might dip below that and then in that case we'll get support from the lower boundary if you look at RSI it was at a pretty high point around five days ago and not surprisingly it started to go sour a little bit and even started to go down if you look at the last couple times when RSI got to be nearly as high we saw dip at this point all the way to the middle bullish event at 20 day moving average and here actually the price went all the way to the lower bullish event and that's why I'm not going to be surprised at the price for the short term hit the middle bullish event although I don't think the price will hit this point the lower bullish event anytime soon unless some negative news breaks out in the next couple weeks I'll be watching for the recovery of ASML price in the next few days and that's when I will go in and buy more shares now if you look at DMI it turned bullish about three weeks ago is still bullish as for MACD it also turned bullish about three weeks ago but it just started to turn bearish and that's why it's not exactly the right time for me to buy the stock yet even though long-term I'm very bullish about ASML but I firmly believe that fundamental analysis needs to become a vial technical analysis the fundamental says yes it's a good stop to buy but the technical analysis says Dan wait for a few days until the price starts to turn around this is the hourly chart and with this chart we see actually a downward sloping triangle with this line which is horizontal and it represents a very strong support point when the price start to hit this line and in fact this line is at 778 it is on the Fibonacci extension chart 50% level I'll talk more about that in the next couple minutes this here is a critical point hopefully the price will be supported here and start to go up and if that happens I'll be buying more shares and if it goes below that I'll be waiting until it hits the next support level look at ISI we're at a very high point here and I surprisingly the price started to go down for DMI we see a bearish sell signal here for MACD we also see a bearish sell signal here today and that's why it's important for me to wait for the hourly chart to turn bullish again before I buy more shares I already own some shares that I'm holding for the long term let's look at the support and resistance levels I've drawn a Fibonacci extension diagram I use this point on May 10th as a minimum and this point around July 14th as a maximum point for support I see the next level 778 which is right here and that's actually the bottom of that descending triangle we're looking at 778 which is a Fibonacci 50% chart the next support level will be at 764 which is the mode of bowling Japan and Fibonacci 34% and that will also be a very strong support point and the next support point will be 747 Fibonacci 23% and next support point will be 719 Fibonacci 0% for resistance and next level up will be 792 which is the Fibonacci 61% and next level up will be the all-time high at 809 and the next level up will be 812 Fibonacci 78% and next level up will be 837 Fibonacci 100%. What are my strategies as usual I'll be buying ASML stock during dips and when it bounces from a support level or when positive news breaks out and I'll sell some of my shares when it drops at key resistance level or when adverse news breaks out and because I'm very bullish about the fundamentals of ASML I'll be holding certain number of shares for the long term I'll be monitoring current events related to the semiconductor industry and specifically related to ASML of course and I will send messages to my Twitter subscribers when I buy or sell ASML shares or when major news breaks out that's related to the company. At this point I'd like to encourage you to also subscribe to my Twitter account which is DanMarketL in addition to subscribing to my YouTube channel. For example I tweeted on July 16 that in light of the S&P 500 inclusion at Moderna I'm raising my price target for Moderna to 300. Actually since then I have increased the target to $450 a share and also I just bought more Moderna on that day. Again I'd like to encourage you to click the like subscribe and notification button if you like what you've watched so far and as usual I very much welcome your comments questions and suggestions. Thank you for watching all the way to here. Let me recap my price forecast I predict the price to be at $850 a share before the end of November 2021. At this point I like to remind you that I'm not a financial advisor I share my stock trading strategies and my analysis for educational purpose only. If you want to buy or sell stocks you should make your own decision and you should definitely consult with your financial advisors before you do so. This about wraps up my video for now.

Hey everybody it's Eric Johnson from Airtate Throws Nation and in today's video we are going to talk about developing speed and power in your throws and one of the best ways to do that is Olympic lifts and specifically the clean. We're going to show you the difference between when you set up the bar correctly and pull the bar closer to the body so that you can engage the hips and sequence the lower body, upper body connection that is very much like the throw so that's one of the reasons we like that. So here taking a look at this athlete you're going to notice the athlete just missed, here the athlete kind of moves, jumps back and then here the athlete is going to make the lift and it's still she's still jumping back but you're going to notice when we do a side by side you're going to notice that the video on the right she's got the bar closer to the body that's all about how you set up tighten up the lats so that the knees can clear the path for the bar right it's never about moving the bar around the shins it's about moving the knees out of the path of the bar we want that bar to travel nice and straight now I'm not trying to profess to be the most elite Olympic lifting coach but what I can do it tell you is that we have developed good efficient lifters for a number of years so that we can maximize and get the benefits of these types of lifts so this athlete another perfect example we're kind of show you the four lifts as the athlete is coming through notice how much straighter the athlete is in the fourth video and again showing you how much you can improve the pull line the extension and drive of the hips and activation of the traps and the upper body as it sequences with the lower body and how that can change in literally a matter of 10 to 15 minutes so if you're focusing on these things daily you're going to be adding a lot more speed and power into your throw just like we talk about our throw setting up the chain reaction we want to set up the chain reaction in our Olympic lifts so when we look here we have another athlete he's got pretty good movement but everything's a little forward and you notice the low catch with the elbows this gets into an issue as the weight starts to increase this is where you can run into those weird wrist injuries and that kind of stuff so now we look at this athlete and again you notice how we're getting the elbows through so that we can kind of move them into a front squat and how the technique improved as we carried more weight so you're going to notice again the subtleties in the first couple videos he's too far forward which is going to result in that low rack carry and that's going to kind of where you get guys that have issues and they kind of pull themselves out of position so again when you have that low wrist rack where we don't get the elbows up through the finish that's a good indicator of your start position you can be too far forward so again kind of noticing all of our athletes here you're going to notice how we taught them how to pull in and what one of the things we like to teach and that's I think a very valuable tip for you guys is simply get the bar in closer to the body and learn how to pull yourself into the starting position kind of that loading that's the start and that's going to make a huge difference because once everything's tight and you get all the slack out of the body the lower body can activate and sequence and drive the hips up into the throw so much better and that is going to be critical so just like you're throwing it's really imperative to be working those small details in your lifts adding the big lifts that give you a lot of bang for your buck and you can't move heavy weight and get it from the ground to your shoulders or over your head slowly you have to be dynamic and it's a great way and should be a huge part of your throws training hopefully you enjoyed today's video be sure to comment below be sure to hit that like button subscribe and we will see you on the next video you guys would like to learn more about how to set up your weight training to develop more explosive throws and bigger jumps and maximize all your training efforts be sure to click the link in the description and learn more about strength training for throwers with Airtay throws nation thanks so much and we'll see you on the next video


Hello and welcome to the drum history podcast. I have the pleasure today of being joined by Jim Moritz of Chicago Drum. Jim, how are you doing? I'm doing well, Bart. Thanks for having me on. Awesome. It is a pleasure to talk to you. So today we are talking about Slingerland Drums, something that you hold very close to your heart. Why don't you tell us a little bit about your connection to Slingerland? Well, my connection is I kind of have a family history of people working at the Chicago and Niles plants. I had two great uncles work there back in the day. One, I believe the story I heard was on the guitar banjo end. And then another one was in the wood shop, was actually in charge of the wood shop for Slingerland. And my dad actually was in charge of the wood shop after my great uncle in the Niles plant. Now, also, I was there in my high school years, early to mid-70s was a night shift when there was a big spit out of drums. They had a couple of shifts going, and summer vacations were kind of spent at the Slingerland plant. So kind of Slingerland in the blood, I guess. Yeah, you were born and raised with Slingerland. So how far does that date back with your family working there? You know, I'm not exactly sure of the guitar end, great uncle. I believe it was 30s, 40s. You know, the drums were there, I believe in the 20s. I can't remember the dates offhand now when they started doing the actual drums. But I believe he was around as well with the drums, too.   And I believe they were like the first company to have an electric guitar out, too, back in the day. But, you know, with the Ludwig boys, let's say, they started their company, you know, with drums and Slingerland wanted to get into that, too. You know, there was a little downfall with the advent of the talking movies. So there was less, you know, drummers going to get, you know, the traps and all the accessories for that type of thing. And Slingerland kind of just kind of snuck in there and they never stopped going for a while. You know, they made their impression in the footprint of drummaking and they kept it going pretty good. I think I read in Rob's book in the Slingerland book that it said that it was kind of in retaliation where Ludwig was saying, well, we're going to get into banjo making to get. I'm kind of getting this mixed up, but I think it was to get military contracts for making banjos, whereas Slingerland was going after that bid, that contract. And they said, well, hey, guess what, now we're going to make drums because you're you're kind of messing with our area. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. And there was never, never any any really love between the two companies. They were always kind of kind of going at it with things, you know, it was just a lot of different things going, you know, and in the 60s, it was we're getting ahead of ourselves here. But there was a big controversy with the the drumhead making, you know, so it was just always kind of going back and forth. There was a very competitive between the two of them, even, you know, when my dad we funny story is we went to the plant in Niles last year after the drum show and we weren't allowed in it. But I had a couple of friends from out of town and we grabbed my dad and we just walked around the plant and the outside and he was telling stories about, you know, putting putting these big posts by a parking lot so they could put chains across to keep the Ludwig guys out. Oh, my God. There's there's also stories of Bill the third when he was younger. Be be number two wanted to go over to the Slingerland plant and kind of fish through the dumpsters to see what Slingerland was up to. I don't know any vice versa stories, but I'm sure there's, you know, Slingerland going to Ludwig as well. So there there was this, you know, competitive edge between both companies. Yeah, I mean, I guess so did you I know Ludwig and Slingerland have this history of going at it? Were in the big four were Rogers and Gretch? Was their competition with this as well? I know Rogers was very, very progressive in their hardware and all that stuff. Was there as much animosity between those companies? Or is it it's historically Ludwig and Slingerland at each other's throat? Right. And I'm not sure of, you know, Ludwig and Gretch, but they were out more East, whereas, you know, I mean, they might have been having that together, you know, out that way. But being so, you know, both Ludwig and Slingerland were in the Chicago area.  You know, everybody wanted to get the finest the best. And they were they were both out there ready to, you know, pick and choose what they could get, you know. Was we're kind of jumping around here. But was Slingerland making their own calf skin heads at this point? I know a lot of times in this era, people, you kind of had to make all your own stuff. You didn't really have the resources we have today. So were there were they creating their own calf skin heads? Yeah, I believe so.   So yeah, they were they were doing their own stuff. Wow. Well, that's cool. So, Jim, why don't we run through a little bit of the family history of the Slingerlands and we can touch on a little bit about how they, how they, how HH got started really early on in music. But yeah, let's just kind of go through the family tree a little bit. OK, well, you know, the action, you know, the HH, he was the one who's kind of started it all, you know, that he was in with his brother, I believe. Arthur James, I think it was. Well, I think that's right. You know, and they kind of got together and now we're working together. Being HH was, you know, more of the. The guy in charge and AJ being sales and that type of deal. And then so moving forward, the company then went into the hands of Henry, Junior, correct, also known or referred to as BUD with two D's. Yeah, and I don't know actually the timeline. I believe HH got ill as well as BUD did later on. But yeah, BUD came in, he had to been in the fifties, early fifties, I believe, when he actually started running the company. So it seems like BUD or Henry Junior would be in charge of the company during the really the heyday of Slingerland. Is that correct? Kind of the jazz explosion into the sixties, seventies rock era stuff. Well, I mean, you know, you got to back up a little bit with the heyday because and I don't know timeline again, I'm not sure of when, but Gene Krupa, you know, was signed on with Slingerland. And I guess you can compare it to Ludwig in the sixties with the Ringo. I mean, Krupa was, you know, he kind of invented that drum set and made it a popular instrument. I mean, Gene Krupa appears to be like, I know in the book I read where it's talking about, hey, like, hey, I need to not have these tack heads. Let's do, let me actually be able to tune these. Can you do that? The tunable drum head, tunable palm. Yeah. So then they did that for him. And it there was, I think I saw in the book where it said he was on most every drum catalog for Slingerland, like the cover of every catalog, except later in the sixties. Up until like, I don't know, 67, maybe his last appearance, something like that. Yeah. That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah, he was, yeah. And, and, you know, he did he did great for Slingerland sales. You know, like I said, it was it was kind of like the, you know, the the Ludwig version of the the Ringo when after the Yetzel then show type deal. Yeah. You know, he he did a lot for for drummers and drumming, you know, so there's a lot to be said for for Mr. Krupa. Absolutely. And that that's a big influence on people. And that leads to people buying more drums because they want to be like their their hero. Now, did he have any? Yeah. Did he have any weird? I know with Buddy Rich, he's jumping around with different snare drums and he's getting in trouble for using the Fibes snare when he's supposed to be using, believe it was the Ludwig, super sensitive, I think, or something like that. Gene seems like he didn't have quite as many like hang ups on switching drums and being a little shady about that. Was he was he pretty loyal? Oh, yeah, very loyal. And in fact, he he didn't even want new stuff. He liked the old stuff and they wanted to get the newer stuff in his hands, you know, so they had to they had to get that into his hands and get it out there so people could see the newer stuff as well as, you know, the old stuff. So now post post jazz explosion with Gene Krupa and we get into the fifties and the sixties, how is the company doing then? Is our sales through the roof? Is is everything going great at this point? Yeah, they actually were doing very well. You know, they they kind of outgrew the the old plant in Chicago and Bud decided to go ahead and build a new plant and he did. And the groundbreaking was, I believe, 1960. I actually was there at the groundbreaking. There was a it was basically a farm with a big farmhouse and everything. And they had a company picnic they held. And Krupa was there with his quartet.  But later later in my high school years, I find out I took a took drum lessons from Slingerland endorser and he lived right around the area locally here, Jake Jurger, and was talking to him one day and he's like, yeah, I was there too. You know, so I actually it was there when my drum teacher was there, too. It was kind of cool to find out. But yeah, the plant was opened, I believe, in 60. You know, I can back up a little bit. You know, my dad, my dad joined Slingerland about 1955. And he was always working in the wood shop. He was one of the first he was the first guy to use the RF machines. When those when that one came in, RF machine is radio radio frequency is real, you know, high voltage machine that they use to form the shelves. You know, prior to that, they would have to make the shelves.   And then they would actually roll the shells to shape them.  You would see they would actually put the finish on them and the finish would be inside that that that scarf lap joint where it overlaps. I've seen that. It's amazing to see an outer like an upper and you see the the wrap actually become a part of the of the shell. I'm sure I'm sure rewrapping that is a nightmare. Yeah. Yeah, it's not too bad, but it's done. So so the RF machine, you know, my dad, that was he was put on that. And that's what he ran for quite a while.  He had to figure out how to glue it properly, you know, all the adjustments on it and everything else. It's it was quite a wild machine, you know, and that was brought over into the Niles plant, you know, they brought two more of those. So they had a total of three of them. And they use those until they close up, you know. But yeah, you know, they they actually they actually had to bring extension cords. The story goes when they moved into the Niles plant, because all the electrical wasn't done yet, but but wanted to get things up and going. So he told employees to bring extension cords and everything else. Wow, man, you just got to start making drums. I mean, this is 1960, where I don't know the exact year that Ringo, the Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan show. But I know that's just after that, it was just the explosion of people buying drums. Yeah, that was that was about 64. Yeah, yeah. So big upswing after that. Is that the way it went? Well, you know, Ludwig was was really big upswing on it.   And, you know, there was quite a roster for both companies.  What about stenciled drums and copying the slinger Lynn model? Does that did that cause a problem for the company or did they really even care? Well, you know, I know way back when slinger Lynn did let a lot of the Japanese people in there and they came in and they were taking pictures of the plant and everything else.  But, you know, that kind of all led to the demise, too, because, you know, they were they were nice enough to let them in there and tour the plant. But it kind of, it kind of did them on the backside because after that, the foreign markets started coming in, too, you know. So they took a chunk of the pie out of the American companies. Do you know what his I mean? Because it's funny, we talked about how they in the previous episode about how I was asking, would they pursue legal ramifications? Not knowing that they were inviting them in. Do you know what the what the goal was to bring the the Japanese like builders or I guess it would be the people investing in the drums into the Slingerland plant? What were they trying to achieve with that? Yeah, you know, I'm I'm not really sure. It's good will, maybe good will. Maybe maybe they were hoping to get some of their product more more overseas. I don't know. But yeah, the Japanese just kind of kind of came in strong after a while. And wow, you know, that kind of kind of didn't didn't do too good for the the American companies. Well, that's I mean, amazing because the the history of the stencil kits is is pretty, you know, word of mouth and slightly just kind of like stories thrown together. So I'm pretty pretty confident that you just added a new element to the the history of of the stencil drum world because knowing that they that Slingerland invited them into the factory is is extremely interesting. We'll have to I'll have to tell Mark patch that the guy is right in the book and maybe maybe you'll be in the second or the third edition, I think, of his book. All right. So the 60s and 70s are going really strong for Slingerland. A lot of endorsers, both jazz and rock, they are competing with the stencil drums, which as we found out, they kind of helped launch, which is amazing to me. But then we get into the 1980s, I think, as far as I can tell, this is when things start to get a little bit funky for Slingerland. Well, I mean, after after Bud sold, and I believe he sold, like I'm guessing like early 70s, I can't even remember anymore. Um, uh, multiple companies bought and sold Slingerland. And they just basically used Slingerland, never put any money into any equipment. You know, all the stuff was old, old, old. And, you know, they, you know, the guys work in there, did their best to put out a great product. But there was still fighting with all the old equipment. Nothing, nothing was brought in new. So that was, that was part of the demise.  And that that was, you know, it just started going downhill after I think after, well, you know, there was still kind of a heyday in the 70s, but you know, the later 70s, um, that's when the downhill started, you know, going, um, you know, again, multiple, multiple companies buying and selling. It's just, uh, you know, it wasn't the same as the family owned Slingerland. Yeah. I think most famously there's those going between different companies back and forth. And, um, it's currently owned by Gibson, which I'm pretty sure is the most famous, uh, you know, when people think of Slingerland and saying, what went wrong? They'd say, well, Gibson owns it and they didn't do anything. And I know that I read that part of it was because if people, if small shops wanted to, um, carry Slingerland, then they also had to carry Gibson guitars, which I think for most people who've ever been to a music store and seen the price of Gibson guitars, um, that's just not feasible for these small shops, which even today on April 16th, 2018, when we're recording this, Gibson is in trouble on their guitar and like people can't afford to buy this stuff at this in the current, uh, economic climate. So, um, I know it, uh, Gibson kind of gets the blame, I think, a little bit for what went wrong with, uh, you know, putting the nail in Slingerland's coffin. Well, there was, you know, there was the last owner, um, in the Chicago area, uh, when, when he bought Slingerland, I mean, it was, it was like, he incurred a lot of debt when he bought it. He actually, uh, moved out of the Niles plant, downsized tremendously, uh, moved out to a plant in Algonquin, Illinois. Um, and, uh, you know, I had a skeleton crew out there. Um, and it's, it's just never really took off. I mean, they basically set up shop there and the bank closed them down. Um, you know, my dad tells me a story of, you know, they were waiting for a load of the near and, uh, the owner was at the bank with the checkbook. And my dad already said, uh, something's wrong.  Um, yeah. So, you know, my, my dad kind of just put his keys on the table and walked away and all is like, that's it. I'm out of here, you know, um, uh, you know, I still am in contact with some, some old guys from the plant that I, I know Matt, some of them are a little bit older than me. I'm not saying they're ancient, but they don't make dads, probably the, the ancient one out of everybody. But, um, you know, I still am in contact with, with some of these guys and, uh, actually some of them are helping us out now. So, um, that's kind of cool. That's a great transition to talk about what you're doing right now, um, with Chicago drum and carrying on the tradition of, um, Slingerland. So now on to you, how, how did, how did this all happen for you where, where you're doing what you're doing? Well, um, we started doing more restoration work, you know, um, bearing edges, rewrapping and that type of deal. And, uh, uh, one of, one of my, uh, associates, um, I hadn't met him before, but he had worked, uh, with my dad and knew my dad. And, and, uh, a couple of years before we started doing the restoration work, I, I hadn't met him.  So we, we actually built a drum and, uh, he was, he's actually got a band and plays out locally and, uh, you know, he, he had the snare drum at first cause that's all we had for him. And, uh, it was, it was very cool here in the sounds of that drum that we made coming out of that hall that he was playing in. And, uh, we kind of took off from there.  We're using the same type of a wood shell makeup. Um, we're just taking it up, uh, you know, a few notches and, uh, you know, taking care of all the little problems that, uh, you know, a mass production, uh, shop has where, where more of a smaller boutique at this point. And, uh, we spend a lot of time, you know, getting everything just right. And, uh, the sound of them is fantastic. Um, everybody loves the sound of our drums. So, uh, we got to be doing something right. Yeah, absolutely. So you are, uh, so you're building them from the ground up or you, you're building, you're creating the shells then, is that right? Yeah, there are shells. And, uh, you know, we do, uh, the solid maple reinforcement rings just like the old school and the same type of edges. We're doing, you know, a 30 roundover adjoin them.  You know, that's where your sound comes from. So we take a lot of time, you know, in sanding and making sure everything's just right on these things. Well, they are, um, absolutely beautiful drums. Um, I have, uh, not had the pleasure of playing them yet, but I've seen them. And, uh, just unbelievable. And like you said, it's just more modern. It's, you know, what, 50 years later, of course, it's going to be just more, more polished and more and more finished. And I'm assuming you're not using the old, uh, radio frequency machine, right? No, no, no, no, this is, uh, totally different now. It's just more modern up to date equipment. Um, so we're getting a pretty, pretty perfect shell out of them. So, uh, we're very happy with our products. Well, that's great.  I mean, you're the guy. Yeah, well, they're, they're sitting on the name and, uh, don't know what's happening with that, but, uh, you know, we've been, we've been forging ahead, uh, with Chicago drum.  Well, 12 point that is. Yeah. Um, but, uh, yeah, we're, we're, we're doing a lot of, lot of things, uh, similar, but different, um, you know, we're, we're making the old anister thrones. Um, you know, just, uh, doing a whole bunch of, uh, different stuff. Um, just trying to work with the customers and, and give them, you know, what they want, size-wise and, and finish-wise. And, um, just giving them, uh, a drum that's gonna last for decades, like the old Slingerlin. So these are custom, uh, so if I call you and say I want a drum set, I'm not getting one that's just pulled off the shelf. These are typically made to order, or do you have kind of a, a surplus? Cool. Okay. Yeah. No, they're made to order. Awesome. Well, we don't really have a catalog set.  Well, I, uh, encourage people to get in touch with you if they're in need of a, uh, beautiful custom kit that has that, that vintage feel, but, uh, is not gonna let you down in any way with, uh, with problems with hardware that can't hold up or anything like that. Yeah, and you say vintage feel and there is actually a vintage feel on these, the, the rebound of the stick on the heads, uh, there is a vintage feel to these drums. Um, you know, we've, we've got the sound, we've got the feel, we've got the look of, of vintage. I mean, uh, our stuff is basically if you would have bought a set way back in the forties and fifties type deal, um, sixties, uh, we, we nailed the feel and the, and the sound. Um, any, any type of music you throw at these things, they can handle it whether it be blues, rock, jazz, uh, you name it, uh, these can handle it. So Jim, uh, this has been awesome. Uh, I would love to give you the opportunity to, uh, let people know where they can find more info about Chicago drum. Well, you can, uh, you can always throw us a, uh, email at info at chicagodrum.com. Um, you can go on our website at Chicago drum, uh, just Google Chicago drum and we'll come up.

Um, we have a lot of soundbites on there, uh, different looks that you can see, uh, we can browse through our website, you know, we do restorations as well, um, repair work, uh, that's a big part of the business too right now. So, um, you know, we do all sorts of things. So if you have any problems with your drums, take them us. And you're typically found at most of the, the drum shows around America, right? Well, we're starting to get out there more. I've been, I've been traveling out east. We went to the, uh, the Delaware show when was that in March. Um, I'm heading out on the road again this weekend is the, uh, Connecticut show. Um, so that'll be, uh, Sunday. So if anybody's in the Connecticut area, um, and, uh, later on, uh, well, next month, I'm trying to think of a month here in May, um, is the, the big granddaddy of all vintage shows in America is the Chicago drum shell, um, big, biggest one in the, uh, in the states, uh, anybody, uh, curious, drum geeks, uh, you know, whatever. But, uh, if you're in the area, that's a very good show to see if you're curious, all sorts of things there, new, old, um, accessories, clinics, uh, there's a whole ton of stuff to do there.
