Drum Stronghold

[PowerStamp]

TOMORROW!

My band is playing our second gig as a full 'unit' (haha, I said unit.... sorry) at El Torreon, one of the only clubs actually IN Kansas City that's All Ages and appeals to the Metal / Hardcore audiences.
All of the money goes towards fixing/buying a new PA system, because the one they have is starting to get pretty messed up.
Tiger Army played there and literally WALKED OUT because they thought it was horrible (it's not THAT bad ****, but those picky bastards were used to warped tour by that point)

4 PM, 9 bands playing from nearly every genre available in KC. Metal, Hardcore, Punk, Pop Punk, Rap (yes a local rapper is "headlining", lol)

We load in at 2:30 man, so excited.
For now I gotta sleep cause I work tonight haha

[rockindrummer]

^ Sweet man, sounds like it'll be a blast.

Er, I'm Ryan. Just joined 5 mins ago :D I'm addicted to drums, I love every minute of it. I'm currently really into Thomas Lang's stuff. I listen to Punk rock and Indie but take inspiration from most genres. Oh and I'm from London and I'm 18.

yee haw i was supposed to work today but it was raining and everything so my dad didn't take me in. but he's paying me for 8 hours anyways because i'm in debt haha.

serious question: i know that last month i worked atleast 40 hours. 50 at most. but my dad only wrote me a check for 28 hours. what do you think i should do? let it slide, or tell him that he owes me more? he's given me a few extra cheques here and there because of the fact that i haven't been able to work about 14 days that i planned to this summer (due to tournaments, lack of things to do, weather, time he leaves for work, etc.) but right now i really need money. i'm down $500 to friends, and with this cheque i'll still be down $140 until around september. with the hours i haven't been paid for, i could break even. any suggestions?

[red n black]

You should work more and stop hating your dad.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

^That's some good advice....Although maybe you should, like, drop a hint or something....Or ask him for an advance on your Pay check....?....



Bloody Hell....

I was just sitting in front of the computer, pondering what to do next, then there's this HUGE bug that's flying around me. *I, naturally being scared of huge bugs, ran out the room. My father caught it and put it in a container, calling it a 'Colorado Beetle' -

I ****ing hate bugs.....

[Double Bass Jim]

Haha me too ^

I've had a few spiders repel right down in front of my face while I was sitting here, I nearly flipped over in the chair jumping backwards. We get huge centipedes in the house too, those huge furry ones their the worst of all.

[gastery6]

The only bugs I get in my house are flys and spider. ONly the spider freak me out sometimes.

[RushHourSoul]

Haha me too ^

Heres a pic of what Arbiters unique tuning system looked like (before the whole conspiracy started).

[rockindrummer]

Sweet, that would be an odd way to tune a drum but it looks well different.

[Double Bass Jim]

Thats it! Thats the famous arbiter system the best there is.

[The Fiction We Live]

I like lugs...

[RushHourSoul]

Yeah, the shell looks really bare. However just imagine tuning it, one lug, thats crazy.

[rockindrummer]

The shell, IMO, doesn't look as good it is to bare and naked. Although if it works then screw looks.

[Josiah]

It works. Best tuneable drum design ever.


Ah well, here is me, 5 mins ago. I'm not very good at posing for pictures..

http://josiah.warpspire.com/metruck.jpg

[rockindrummer]

^ That truck is sweet. Extremly big too.

[TheClash6412]

yep....thats what she said

[rockindrummer]

^ You dirty child.

[stabbinspaghetti]

yay you got the truck, awesome

[TTTSNB]

Very nice man, I want a truck.

[Josiah]

Thanks..

Now if only I can get the dang streaks off the windows...

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Windex?

:)

[Josiah]

Yea, I'm usin windex.. maybe I need different paper towls or it just doesn't like me.

[Double Bass Jim]

Heres one for ya guys, I recorded a side view shot of a thumb driven stroke in trad grip.
http://elementweb.com/upload/uploads/Trad%20Thumb%20Stroke.zip

[Plan B.]

Damn you have great hands.

Those sticks look like trees.

[Josiah]

RH's are good for the soul.

[Double Bass Jim]

Ralphs :cool:

Great pad stick.

[styler]

The one on grandville and 7th. I'm assuming you're from vancouver too, so what about you?

meh, im sort of in that general area, im from port coquitlam, chances are youve never heard of it, i cant remember which street my L&M store is, but the franchise owners son or someit works there, its pretty kool, matt kennedy too lol

[rockindrummer]

^ Cool man.

[Jezen]

Yesterday, I got rid of my DW 4002's and bought a Big Dog Pro double. Its awesome.

[rockindrummer]

^ Sweet dude. I've heard nothing but good things about Big dog pedals.

[Josiah]

Yesterday, I got rid of my DW 4002's and bought a Big Dog Pro double. Its awesome.


Did your playing improve from the change?

[Jezen]

Ffs Josiah please stop being so ignorant. I KNOW that your playing doesn't change with the equipment. I have said that numerous times now.
I find the pedal alot more comfortable.

[stabbinspaghetti]

hah i like those pedals, atleast the way they look, stupid usa not having them anywhere


well back to that custom drum company i was talking about

"Hi Sarah The stack sets are $1450.00 The regular sets are $1400.00. Theprices for these sets are for a 18" bass the set and a 16" bass drum set. Joe Modern Drum Shop""

so i would imagine you prolly get like a 12'' tom and a 14'' tom, but those prices arent that bad, i may get a stack set one day

[Win A Rabbit]

well my ride to work is late, like i knew she'd be. oh well. todays gonna be a fairly short work day. 12-5. right now i'm working on a song, trying to use every time sig i can, but more importantly, make it flow and sound good. that's the tough part. well im gonna go play drums for 10 minutes before she gets here. bye everyone.

[Futuro]

Yea, I'm usin windex.. maybe I need different paper towls or it just doesn't like me. dont use paper towels, use news paper then dry with a rubber based cloth (shammy etc.)

[stabbinspaghetti]

hmm newspapers??? i would think they would be to harsh to glass, with the recycledness of them, they have dirt on them alot of times aswell, which can lead to scratching..i would say get some of those blue hardware papertowels, and a shammy, and some good glass cleaner

[Josiah]

^ ah.. interesting that sounds like the way to go.


I'm not keen on that newspaper idea, it leaves ink on my hands.. rub it on the windshield?

[stabbinspaghetti]

hah, where did everyone go?!?!??!?!?!?!?!? ok i over exaggerated, so what?

[Josiah]

Well I weant to the DO to drop off some paper work, and had to go to the Dr's for a TB test.

Just now 4 or 5 big Heuy's or Blackhawks flew over nice and low, friggin loud as heck. The soilders waved at me though, so that's chill.

The joys of living around military bases.

[stabbinspaghetti]

ahh yeah i know how yah feel, we have a military base here as well

[Riding The Short Bus]

My name Is Bud (nick name, everyone calls me that including family) Been playing drums for about ten months. I write songs and play drums. I listen to metallica, Sevendust, Limp Bizkit, The used. Pretty much anything cept country and rap, even though I like country. I am 17, and am currently starting a band called "Riding the short bus". I have wirtten nine songs so far, just lyrics, when the guitar player gets back we are gonna work on music.

[stabbinspaghetti]

hah you are lucky, im still looking for a band, i may have one though

[rockindrummer]

^ It would be awsome if you got it together. Bands are a great experience and they are also really fun.

[stabbinspaghetti]

yeah, i mean ive never played with any other musicians, so not only would it be a great learning experience, it would help me improv and such

[Win A Rabbit]

i've been in a band since the day i picked up an instrument. the reason i started playing music was to start a band with some friends.

well today i went to the golf course to work, and my grampa was there. he convinced me to go golfing with him (didn't take much, i really didn't want to work today) and then he even convinced my dad to pay me for a few hours because it was him who got me to golf, etc. i used some rental clubs that actually cost $5 each, brand new (which by the way were way too short for me) and some used golf balls, and i took on my brother for $5. he has about $3000 worth of golf clubs, golfs 4+ times a week, and uses $6 golf balls. i told him to give me 18 shots, and i completely killed him. after abour 4 holes i was in his head, and it was easy as pie through the rest. surprisingly i played good for not having picked up a club in almost 2 years. i didn't take his money though, as he doesn't work, and i'd feel bad taking money from my younger brother.

oh, and my cousin's friend was hitting on me infront of my cousin and aunt. needless to say, it was quite awkward. she was 6'4, which was oddly intimidating. :lol:

anyways, that's my day so far. i'm gonna go call some friends, probably go out for a while.

[stabbinspaghetti]

you are a party animal, everynight almost

[Double Bass Jim]

she was 6'4
YIKES WNBA style.

[Half Life]

Haha :lol:

[stabbinspaghetti]

yeah, thats really tall, taller than...like models...ewww sounds scary

[Double Bass Jim]

6'4's huge. Thats a giant women version of danny carrey chasin after ya. Think about that for a second... :lol:

[TTTSNB]

[Massik Kretal]

Wow thats cool.

[Win A Rabbit]

well i just got home, and i really hope i'm not scheduled for work tomorrow. me and a lady friend of mine planned out our whole day tomorrow, and i told her i might be working, and she said she wouldn't really be upset if i did, but i know she would be. oh well, i'll just fake sick if i'm scheduled, because i do in fact have a cold.

tonight was pretty good. we went to the city and i bought a clockwork orange finally, then we came back to town and walked around for a while, and stopped and hung out at a park for like 2 hours. it was actually fun too. now i'm going to be working on guitar parts for a new song. yee haw.

[rockindrummer]

Here's yesterday in a nutshell.

About a month ago, I asked Terry Taylor of Hunt Industries (booking company basically) if we could play the PA Benefit show for El Torreon (all money goes towards fixing their busted *** PA) and he put us on it. The show was yesterday.

I told everybody about it in my band and everybody got the day off right away.

Fast forward to last sunday, when my guitarist says he might have to work now because somebody else at work is going out of town that day (friday / yesterday) and they just told everybody Sunday, so he's working instead.

Now, he gets the day off a month in advance (my guitarist) and come 5 days beforehand, the other guy gets it off instead, that's total BS! But as far as I know he's still playing the show, he never said otherwise.

Thursday night I worked from 5 to midnight, and when I got home I took my drumset apart and wiped everything clean to make it shine on stage and stacked it up, ready to load.
Friday morning I wake up at 11AM, shower, shave, and load my drumset up. Bassist shows up at 12 and we load his stuff into his car.
We call guitarist and he's all like "Nah, I got to work today man"

...

So after awhile on the phone trying to convince him he needs to be there for us (it's 2:00PM now and we needed to load in at 2:30 and it's a half hour drive without traffic), we load his stuff into our cars and go over there (down the street), and get into a big argument with his girlfriend about why he's going to work instead of the show.
His GIRLFRIEND was arguing that rather than play the show and leave when we're done (we were on at 4:30 and would be done by 5, they were to be at work by 4) and be 1 hour late for work, they need to just go to work because they need the money.
$7 an hour between the 2 of them that's $14 they would be missing BEFORE taxes. I offered to pay them $20 right there to shut up and pack.


So eventually it ends up as he's not going and he's not playing, end of the story, they're going to work instead. So we unload his **** at his house and tell him if he doesn't go to this show this band is over, and they don't say anything so we unload and leave for the club.
We get there (with our stuff still in our cars, no time to unload), tell the guy we're not playing, and tell our singer we're not playing.
(Singer lives near the club and skated down there in the rain through traffic)


When we got there, still an hour before doors opened, my friends from Smithville and Plattesburg were there to see us (a 45 minute drive), and JUST to see us, and they wasted their day. Bass players family already drove down there and had to drive back because we weren't playing.



SO
I hear he called and wants to talk blah blah blah, still wants to play our other show the 25th, but we're not sure about his dedication so we need to talk to him and if he's not in the band 100% willing to miss work for any gig, he's out.


*That's the short version*

[rockindrummer]

^ Holy **** dude that sucks. I would have stuck through with kicking you guitarist out of the band he definitly isn't commited enough. His girlfriend sounds like a total bitch.

[Jezen]

Actually it sound exactly like School of Rock.

[rockindrummer]

^ Ya and that chick is a total bitch

[KWG]

girlfriend taking over his arguments.....is he wipped????

**** dude that blows

[PowerStamp]

Due to very odd work schedules (I'm on overnights for the next couple of weeks until the 4th, when we're done with overnights at my store, my bass player works overnights, singer works late nights/overnights, and guitarist works 4 to 9, so yeah), I probably won't see or hear from him until tuesday, which is our usual practice day.
I told him if he wants to talk about it to be there on Tuesday and that she (girlfriend) isn't welcome in my house, no question.

So tuesday we're all gonna sit down and talk about this and we're going to tell him the good old saying: Bros before Hos. He's been with her maybe 6 months now, I've known him for 7 years.

[stabbinspaghetti]

And it has John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, and Bruce Willis in it.


yay i love uma, hah uma and juilette lewis in hysterical blindness, none of you prolly saw this, more of a chick thing

[KWG]

I saw bridget jonen's diary...thats a chick thing...pretty **** hillarious though

[Win A Rabbit]

powerstamp, that's like a bigger, more serious version of what's happening in my band. my guitarist spends every free second he has to either hang out with his girlfriend or talk to her, and he's only with us if he finally realizes we haven't called him for band practice (or at all) in a few weeks, so he'll come with us one day, and then it repeats.

well i'm going out right away to see four brothers. i'm not really expecting much from it, but hey, it might be good. anyone see it yet?

[PowerStamp]

nope, but I did see that it got like 1 or 2 out of 5 stars on ebert and ****faces thing, or whatever it's called.

[stabbinspaghetti]

thats what i heard, havent seen that one...lets see, some recent movies i saw

the other sister
whats eating gilbert grape
kalifornia
natural born killers
hysterical blindness
dukes of hazard
beaches (hah it was on today, i watched it for a couple minutes)
kathy griffin is......not nicole kidman (i dunno if that one counts)
umm prolly more i cant remember, and most of these ive seen more than once

there

[Queen Anne's Revenge]

^^^ If by Four Brothers you mean Punk Rock Holocaust, then yes. :D

[KWG]

what did you think of the dukes.....I enjoyed it, had a few good laughs

[stabbinspaghetti]

yeah dukes was pretty good, i was surprised that jessica was good, and not in it just for her killer body

[KWG]

she was okay, her accent was crap. I expected much less from that clutz. I dunno i realy dislike jessica. bodys good, but theres something wrong wiht that face....

[stabbinspaghetti]

hmm i think shes ok, i look for beauty in places most people wouldnt think they are hot

yeah i look up to these people as well, and wish i had their looks, but then again who wouldnt

[KWG]

aww it doesn't matter what you have on the outside( haha i crak myself up)(no seriously)(okay, fine it matters to a degree), im sure your extreemly hot, especialy cause you play drums.

[stabbinspaghetti]

hah yeah i know im not ugly, i know im not drop dead gorgeous, im average.....oh and i have no self esteam, mabey thats why i act like i do

what i was trying to get across is i usually think that the celebs that are less well known, or not really put out as sexxy, thats who i think is hot

juliette lewis
kathy griffin
uma(well, people do think she is a hotty)
nicole sullivan
rachel griffiths
debbie harry
lauren graham
lauren ambrose, hah i keep on adding

yeah i hope people dont think its wierd that i say alot of women are hot, but i like my opinion to be out....and i look up to those above

[rockindrummer]

Cause she's awesome.

[KWG]

Im stuck on the island in Vic, **** tourists can't even drive downtown anymore its too crazy. And then theres the stereotypical asians ( sorry if i affend anyone) who stop to take pictures of the stupidest things and your like "Get of the **** road" plus thats gas is at 108.9 costs me a fortune to get to long and mquade

[stabbinspaghetti]

YES i love her, if no one noticed, shes my fav everything

[PowerStamp]

108.9? What currency?

Gas here is up to freaking $2.50!
it was at like $2.15 less than a week ago.

[rockindrummer]

Ah man that sucks. I know what you're talking about, down town vancouver and by the beach there are so many asians that take pics of some of the most retarded stuff. Gas is just crazy the highest i've seen is at 110.9, lucky I don't have to drive yet :D It's just gunna get worse though :upset:

[stabbinspaghetti]

how do you translate that money into american?

[rockindrummer]

seach curreny convertor on google.

[stabbinspaghetti]

wait, so youve seen gas for like 90 bucks...this makes no sense, or im doing something wrong

[rockindrummer]

$1.10

sry my bad,

[PowerStamp]

why did BOTH of you screw it up though? that's really odd.

[KWG]

yea, i don't pay for gas......yet. And in Canada its 1.10 per litter, where in the US i beilve its by the gallon so...you got to convert the money...then how many litters to the gallon and then a Canadain gallon to a US gallon or we could say its **** expensive!!

[rockindrummer]

I just thought you'd understand cause that is how it looks and the signs at gas stations.

[KWG]

yea also when my parent where traviling to alberta they said in i think it was surey that it was at 79!!!! OMG WTF!!

[stabbinspaghetti]

are you telling me the second to bottom pic is of a woman?????
King of Queens is pretty funny sometimes

[rockindrummer]

^ uhh I hope she wasn't saying that cause that guy is a dude :lol:

[Double Bass Jim]

Nicole sullivan = :thumb:

I used to watch MAD all the time.

[KWG]

Mad was good....but then all the original guys left (exept Nicole and (im sorry) the black girl)and IMO it turned to ****

[rockindrummer]

Ya mad was good while it lasted.

[Massik Kretal]

Yeah that show is just terrible now. Just like SNL turned into crap.

[Double Bass Jim]

Yep I agree 100%

[rockindrummer]

SNL used to be awsome, but it's not so great anymore.

What's everyone up too? Have people gotten a life? I hope not :upset:

[Massik Kretal]

I'm up to goin to bed. Goodnight!

[rockindrummer]

Geez I guess I will too since everyone else has left :upset:

[Massik Kretal]

Follower :rolleyes:

No but seriously goodnight now.

[rockindrummer]

^ Shut up :upset:

No but seriously goodnight now.

[Double Bass Jim]

Well I went to the gigantour tonight up in wisconsin at the RAVE, it was about a 2 hour drive up there. I left early so I could stop at the casino there and eat. The show was decent the 2 bands I wanted see symphony X and DT played great of course. The rest of the stuff like dillinger escape plan, and fear factory I could care less about. I watched a little of each and went outside to wait until DT came on :cool:

[KWG]

hello, is anybody there? im the only one left..well at least i have my books *glasses fall and brake* oh no, thats not fair,thats just not fair, there was time now..*crying*

[Half Life]

I'm still here, but slumber is slowly taking the reigns :lol: On a much more serious note though, I might be able to score a brand new 6-piece Mapex M Birch kit within the next few days! Wow, I didn't think I'd be able to get a new kit so easy :amaze:

[Jomofo]

(In reply to DBJ) Gigantour is coming near here, but DT stops in Toronto...so theres no point in me going.

[Double Bass Jim]

Yea I don't blame ya, symph X is worth seeing but the rest of the bill sucks big time IMO.

[Jomofo]

I don't mind Dillinger Escape Plan. I haven't ever really gotten into Symphony X though, so if I did go, I'd be paying top dollar for a DT show, basically...but they're not coming here so...nope. I heard the ticket prices (in Canada at least) were around $100. Is that how much it cost for you? (Sorry if I'm being rude.)

[PowerStamp]

Dillinger Escape Plan are freaking amazing.
If you haven't heard them, check out their two singles "Setting Fire to Sleeping Giants" and their newest one "Unretrofied", their best songs and least-chaotic.
A lot of their songs on the new CD have more of the melody and singing, but it's usually in the middle/end and not the whole song.

Miss Machine = amazing CD.

Plus Chris can tear some crazy **** up on a 3 piece drumset.

[Jomofo]

Yeah, hes definitely good. I'm just a little less in to them...it's not really the vocals that turn me off, because I like bands like Atreyu (chyea, do stuff! :p). I think the wave of bands getting signed for being that style of music is just making it old. Major record labels are catching on to Indie trends, and the result is...well, lots of bad bands.

[styler]

Im stuck on the island in Vic, **** tourists can't even drive downtown anymore its too crazy. And then theres the stereotypical asians ( sorry if i affend anyone) who stop to take pictures of the stupidest things and your like "Get of the **** road" plus thats gas is at 108.9 costs me a fortune to get to long and mquade

speaking of long and mcquade, and BC, and victoria, and drumming :D

anybody else going to the drum clinic on august 24 at the L&M in victoria :D its like a 100KM drive but im busin it and takin the ferry all the way there

[Jezen]

wow thats amazing...haha have you ever seen airheads, they ask for a naked pic of bea arthur, that was a pretty good movie

I remember seeing a movie once where this kid attaches string to a womans blanket or something, and pulls it off while shes sleeping and video tapes it. Also when she is sunbathing, he says "Can I touch your tushi?" and she says "Excuse me?" and he quickly goes "Umm...uhhh..Would you like some sushi?"

Is that Airheads? I have no idea what that movie is called.


Also, have I missed something recently? I woke up just now and TGP said that he hates me.

[stabbinspaghetti]

Mad was good....but then all the original guys left (exept Nicole and (im sorry) the black girl)and IMO it turned to ****

now no one good is there, they all left, i only watch the old stuff

[stabbinspaghetti]

i dont remember, i havent seen that movie in forever....it had adam sandler in it...that sounds like something he would doo

[Massik Kretal]

I can't wait till I go to Gigantour its like a week away. What songs did Symphony X play I cant wait to see them.

[stabbinspaghetti]

oh and the pic of michael ian black....yeah i like him....hes my man, haha

[The Fiction We Live]

Well I went to the gigantour tonight up in wisconsin at the RAVE, it was about a 2 hour drive up there. I left early so I could stop at the casino there and eat.

No DT in VA or DC.. :upset:

^^^(I used as many two letter words/acronyms as I could... I'm bored)

But honestly it really sucks...

[Josiah]

DT and Symphony X would be a rad show.. I think that's comin out here in a lil bit.


Randomness of the day - My truck smells wonderfully like a mix of strawberry and incredibly good herb.

[TheClash6412]

i was gonna go to that at the rave but i played a show instead

[rockindrummer]

Well shows are always good. DT would be awsome to see live, I think they are coming to vancouver but I don't have the money for tickets.

[KWG]

What theres a drum clinic coming to Vic!! **** im there, takes me 10 mins to drive there...ha it takes me 10 mins to drive anywhere in Vic.

[styler]

What theres a drum clinic coming to Vic!! **** im there, takes me 10 mins to drive there...ha it takes me 10 mins to drive anywhere in Vic.

yeh, i cant remember who it is thats goin there, but hes a studio drummer and thats what he'll be tellin everybody about, its on the l&m website

[rockindrummer]

It is really small. But very beautiful there.

[KWG]

yea, i saw it, session druming/recording- the guy did work on "raiders of the lost ark" one of my faviorit movies.

ya after going on vacation and coming back you tend to forget how beautiful and unique it is.

[Win A Rabbit]

well i feel extremely sick. i didn't even go to the movie last night due to the fact that i couldn't stand up without feeling sick. i think it was that sandwich i had at work. some old lady made all these bag lunches, and the sandwich was a bit iffy, but i was extremely hungry. the rest of the lunch was good. orange juice, an apple, and a rice krispy square. i'm feeling better than i did last night, but still not 100%.

detroit rock city was on tv, and then i fell asleep on the couch after about 45 minutes. it's a pretty good movie, but it was better the first time i saw it.

[Jezen]

Sic is Sick. What a surprise.






*Breaking News*

This just in, scientists have discovered that apples are actually, apples! :o

Compared to you, I'm like an old woman who goes to bed a 7PM with a warm drink....


Well, It may not be as fun as partying and such, but I'm about to go watch 'Alien 3'....
After 6 relatively straight hours of playing the new Video game I bought, then 2 Hours of playing drums, I'm allowed to watch an ickle film, right?....
