Drum Stronghold

[Massik Kretal]

Yeah I'm also goin to bed. Goodnight.

[Win A Rabbit]

well i'm going to go watch a clockwork orange before i doze off. haven't watched it in a while. good night mx. i'll be lucky to get 5 hours of sleep tonight before work tomorrow.

[Half Life]

Hehe, insomniac time :lol: For fun I figured I'd post this picture I took when I was talking to TGP on MSN last night....

http://www.photodump.com/direct/EatIt/tarzanpic2.jpg

^As you can see, my hair = complete and utter pwnage of yours :cool:

[Double Bass Jim]

Damn man thats long!

[Josiah]

Very manly..

[Half Life]

Haha, indeed Josiah! I am true metal!

















































:rolleyes:

[Double Bass Jim]

So your the T-800?

[Jomofo]

I found out today that my Sonors have arrived in Edmonton, and will probably be here within a couple days. Expect pictures sometime soon. Woohoo!

[Half Life]

Haha, oh yes :p

[Josiah]

HAha

I weant with buzzed/very short hair when I started surfing in 3rd world countries (no showers). Haven't gone back since.. it looks trim, fast in the shower, no issues with "styling" and I've prob saved a ton on haircuts and shampoo.

[Jomofo]

I like having long hair. It's alot more fun...plus chicks dig it.

No one cares about my new drums? :( Sad face....

[Half Life]

Haha, yeah, that styling things a bitch with my hair. It's like impossible. It's just there pretty much. I could do with a haircut though, senior pictures are comming up and me posing half naked in a loincloth with a club in one hand isn't exactly what most people picture as a, "high school graduate" :lol:

[Drum Phil]

My hair pwns you all :) Also, iPods do suck. Creative Zen all the way

[Josiah]

Chicks dig long hair? I supose that depends on where you live.

If that works for you in fiddle-sticks nebraska.. hey more power too ya! Ain't the case for So Cal... plus long hair is far to much to deal with.


Ipods suck? Yea. I'll keep that in mind.

[PowerStamp]

Long hair, we've already discussed this but I had long hair and short hair on and off through high school, and have finally settled with short again, agreeing with josiah that it's easier to clean and manage and generally is more accepted by the female gender.

Ok, time for some good times, because last night was the GREATEST night on headset ever.
So overnights, we have 3 people. 1 on headset taking orders, 2 in grill. I was headset tonight.

!DRUNKEN NUDITY!
So anyways, orders orders blah blah blah, until at 1AM, when an order comes and when they get to the window the chick flashes me. Which is ALWAYS cool, but then she looks up and looks at her friends and goes "Oh ****, I went to high school with that guy!" haha and she did, I know her very well. So that was a major highlight.


!DRUNKEN *******!
So this guy orders a #11 w/ coke (nugget meal) and at the window it's obvious he's drunk, with another beer in his right hand AND one in his lap. So he wants to add on a double cheese, so I do and he pays for it all.
Then he complains that he didn't get his McChicken (didn't order one) then laughs, and says he's missing his fries (which he had 3). He pulled them OUT OF THE BAG, and goes "there's fries and some others, but where the **** are my fries?!" (all this time my managers standing there laughing too).
Then he says he didn't get his nuggets (which I remember packing because it's all he ordered and I had to make them fresh out of the vat), so we just threw some more in a box, gave them to him and shut the window. If he'd argued one more time we were gonna call the cops.

!LOST MEXICANS!
So I'm making coffee for breakfast, and I look up and there's a Mexican in the window staring at me. CREEPY. I go over there and he holds up a map, and after a few seconds I gather they're lost, going to Liberty (from Smithville), so I point STRAIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY (physically and on the map) and say just follow that, and they ask for directions.

Basically, a very fun night.
Throw in watching 30 minutes of Spiderman 2 and Episode 2 of Robot Chicken on my PSP and you've got a killer night.

[lpmeca]

^^^
hahaha, lost mexican, thats great.

[Ethan.]

Wow what a night man. Haha that was so funny.

[lpmeca]

Dude, we need to have more nights like that, all of us, and judging by the flashing, I'm deffinatly going to work at McDonalds lol.

[Ethan.]

Would Pinstripes be ok for just recording in the studio with a band, not micd or anything? I don't play live anywhere either.

[lpmeca]

So your just playing in a sound proof room? Well, in that case, just go for whatever head sounds good on the drum, it doesn't matter too much then.

[Drum Phil]

iPods have a terrible battery. It only holds charge for summat like 300 charges, whereas the creative zen holds for 2000. The iPod can only play MP3, the zen plays both MP3 and WMA (which is good seein as i rip all my CD's to WMA) The zen has a much friendlier control system, the zen has pretty lights and is cheaper. Plus the zen can be used to hold data as well.

[stabbinspaghetti]

ahh, well i dont plan on buying anything anytime soon, im broke...hah

boygirL-krush

[Double Bass Jim]

Chicks dig long hair?
It depends, if your hair looks like a soup kitchen worker who just dunked it in a vat of crisco then no :lol:

[stabbinspaghetti]

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Haha, indeed Josiah! I am true metal!







Since when was blonde metal....?

[Double Bass Jim]

Lots of the swedish metal guys are blonde.

[Ill Mitch]

Sweden is the breeding grounds for prog-metal bands. So many come out of there.

[Half Life]

Since when was blonde metal....?

You said the same thing last night you goofy bas****! :lol:

[Fuzzy]

My hair pwns you all :) Also, iPods do suck. Creative Zen all the way
Yes, my Zen Micro owns the crap out of my guitarist's Ipod.

[rockindrummer]

I don't have either, or anything of the sort.

[Double Bass Jim]

I gotta get one of them ZEN's, they had a sale on em at wal-mart once and I missed it :(

[Win A Rabbit]

one of these days ill get a picture of my hair, and totally blow all of you out of the water. mine's actually getting to the point where it's too long for a man to have :lol:

dillinger escape plan - sugar coated sour

[Drum Phil]

I jus got my hair cut :(

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/rancid_punk/Picture12.jpg

Thats me, it used to be like 1' long but it was too much to spike often.

And yeah, Zens own ipods asses anyday. Wouldnt trade mine for the world. Even charges while your uploadin music

[poppinfresh]

Would Pinstripes be ok for just recording in the studio with a band, not micd or anything? I don't play live anywhere either.
i would suggest using hydros. But dont tighten them too tightly. They have this nice one that they get out of the drum which i like and theres not too many overtones.

[Brendan]

man, that shuffle thread bb posted a while back is giving me hell

[Win A Rabbit]

well i was bored, and checking out movies i should rent today, since my dad didn't take me into work again :upset: , when i came across this: goofs. continuity errors, factual errors, everything wrong with a movie. it's hard to believe that people actually sit through a movie, noting where someone's hand is from shot to shot. :lol:

well, here's the top 3 grossing movies of this year so far, and their "goofs"

star wars http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0121766/goofs

war of the worlds http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407304/goofs

batman begins http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372784/goofs

Thats pretty funny

[Plan B.]

I've done it before. It's quite entertaining when you find the right movie to pick apart.

:lol:

[Massik Kretal]

Wow so many mistakes.

[Win A Rabbit]

i usually try not to rant, but what the hell.



well i think i'm going to apply for a job at extra foods at the end of summer, since i keep getting f'ucked out of hours at the golf course. i'm going to tell my dad tonight that i'm not coming back next year, and probably not finish this year off, due to the hopelessness of everyone who works there. i'm gonna need a mighty big raise and guaranteed hours if he wants to keep me another year. this summer i was scheduled to work 4 days on, 4 days off (over 2 months, thats 30+ days of work) and so far i've only been able to work 7 days total. so i'll tell him he's on his own if he wants any chance of good greens next year, since everyone on the maintenance crew has no idea of how to grow grass. 3 of them even went to university for it, and i know more than they do.

/rant.

The new iPods have a much better battery than the old ones, so your first statement is no longer true.

The ipods can play mp3, wav, aac, and a couple others.

WMA is not as high quality of a codec as mp3 or aac, so if you want the best sound quality there's no problem with not having wma support, not to mention its easy to convert them to mp3s if need be.

Not to mention ipods have been praised by countless renowned technology magazines/websites/etc. as having a highly efficient and intuitive control system along with being very aesthetically pleasing.

Ipods can hold data also, pretty much all hard drive based MP3 players can.




And yeah, Zens own ipods asses anyday. Wouldnt trade mine for the world. Even charges while your uploadin music

Ipods charge while uploading music too. In fact they were one of the first drive based players to do so.

[stabbinspaghetti]

wow! anyone here like ben folds??? hes coming to savannah!!!!!!!!! yay no one ever comes here im soo going

[PowerStamp]

^
no.

lol

I'm going to Evergreen Terrace on the 30th though, badass band. This'll be my 3rd time seeing them, the first time I skipped my senior prom to go haha

[stabbinspaghetti]

well, im not a huge fan of his, but wierd al is at most of his shows haha, but anyway im going because my sister is a huge fan, and no one ever comes here....so atleast its a show

[stabbinspaghetti]

oh and my soon to be boyfriend (hopefully) likes them, so i invited him to go with me, see im so nice :):):)

[PowerStamp]

awww, sucker.
He's only going cause you're a chick and asked him haha ;)

Anyways yeah, Evergreen Terrace.
Last time they were here (about a month ago) I gave their singer Andrew a copy of my band's live CD, which has their song "No Donnie, These Men are NIhilists" on it, which we perform live duh

Anyways, they've been on tour since, so I'm gonna see what he thought about it, and ask if I can play No Donnie on drums when they play it hahahah :D

WMA all depends on how you choose to encode it. You cant tell me that a WMA file with a bitrate of 192 isnt better than a 128 MP3 file.

And if they're similar in technological respects, then i stand by my opinion that the Zen looks better.

Most people i know (a fair few of them hand build computers for a living, including the server our local 6000 member forum runs off) hate iPods because they're unreliable. Anyway its all down to preference so just leave it.

[Futuro]

dang!!! these nutty buttys are good as hell

:EDIT :p page snypa virgin :)

[lpmeca]

Yeah, Nutter butters are awesome, asuming I'm understanding you correctly.

Yea its definitely down to personal preference that we can agree on, i'm just makin sure all the facts are straight :thumb:

[Futuro]

Yeah, Nutter butters are awesome, asuming I'm understanding you correctly. chocolate wafers in a little plastic bag? i dont know WTF they are called :p so ill call em nut-her but-her :-O

[lpmeca]

Uh no not nutter butters, dunno, I know what your talking about, I just cant put my finger on the name, hmm, well, I know there still awesome.

.
It is possible to change the WMA rip settings so that it rips into a WMA lossless format which rips at the highest possible bit rate.

My zen xtra has a lot of other great features such as the bookmarking tool where you can bookmark a certain part in the song and start from there which is really helpful with drumming to songs when your trying to get down a certain part. You can also speed up and slow down songs which i find useful when the drummer does a extremely long fill that you want to try to figure out.

i win.

[Win A Rabbit]

well right now i'm learning the hotel california solo. i've always told myself that i'd learn it some day, so i decided now's the time, in the half hour i have before i'm probably going out for the night. :lol:

anyone else in here play guitar too? what kind of stuff? are you any good?

[Double Bass Jim]

Sounds like the iPOD isnt even worth it IMO.

[Futuro]

well right now i'm learning the hotel california solo. i know that song, the last solo bit is really fun!

what kind of stuff? are you any good? all kinds of music, and im pretty good (maybe) ....(hell i probably suck)

[spike9908]

Sounds like the iPOD isnt even worth it IMO.

yeah, you can get a 40GB creative nomad for like $215 which is $15 more than a 4GB ipod mini. then again, someone i know is willing to pay like $400 for an ipod just because you get the ipod. really, even a half-retarded monkey knows the nomad is a better deal.

[KWG]

ha screew mp3s alltogether its all about vinal, better sound

[Massik Kretal]

I like ipods more. Zen is great though.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

HOLY AMAZING GUITAR PLAYING!!

http://www.spikedhumor.com/Article.aspx?id=742

WOW!!


on a side note.. 1 hour and 6 minutes until the snare thread is closed.

[Plan B.]

What do you get if you win?

[KWG]

thats awesome video

[Ill Mitch]

ha screew mp3s alltogether its all about vinal, better sound

Vinyl only lasts so long. After awhile it wears out and then you can't use it anymore.

[Massik Kretal]

Sick guitar playin....but lets stick to drums.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

Holy crap that was awesome!
I wish I could play guitar.....

[Massik Kretal]

If you want crazy guitar playin check out Paul Gilbert.

[Double Bass Jim]

Pauls great arugably the fastest picking player there is.


Although romeos up there too :cool:
<----

[Massik Kretal]

Of course.

I used to like Malmsteen alot but he's just so eh now.

[Double Bass Jim]

Yea but he set the standard, yngwie's still the man :cool:

[Futuro]

michael angelo from nitro, listen to there older stuff where he used "reckless" speed, he sustained 16th notes at 280 in 1 song (while doing scales)

[The Fiction We Live]

Download his video Speed Kills... its crazy. I had it on my old computer, but I don't have it anymore...

[Double Bass Jim]

Yea my buddy went to a clinic of his, saw em play the crazy 4-neck rig too.

[Massik Kretal]

I think he's awesome, but my brother says that he's really good but the stuff he makes up and plays isn't that good, just fast picking. Hes a guitarist.

^^^^ i win ^^^^^^ :D

[Double Bass Jim]

Man if you get a chance to ever see symph X live faith GO. Man romeos CD perfect live it's unreal.

[Futuro]

Man if you get a chance to ever see symph X live faith GO. Man romeos CD perfect live it's unreal. i had 2 chances to go to gigantour, one in tampa and one in orlando (both within like 1 hour drive) but i couldnt find a time to fit it into my schedules :(

[Double Bass Jim]

Dang thats a shame, he's like all my favorite players wrapped into one package. That guy writes some great riffs/solos.

[Win A Rabbit]

well my band just finished practice, and i've come to the realization that this band is nothing more than another disposable "emo" band (i hate using the term emo for something that's not even good. real emo music is good). i tried to push them into doing new things, even as simple as different patterns and time sigs, but whenever i do that, it just takes us 2 steps back. so now i guess i'm stuck with this until i can find people to start a new band with. golly gee...

[Double Bass Jim]

real emo music is good
You need to stop drinkin man!

:lol: Im just messin with ya :)

[Win A Rabbit]

You need to stop drinkin man!

:lol: Im just messin with ya :)
i actually haven't drank in a while. it's been like 4 days... :lol:

monday's gonna be huge. :chug:

edit: i just realized that this guy... :) looks sad if you select him. or whatever it's called when you drag your mouse over it.

[TheClash6412]

you need help man, you have a problem

[Massik Kretal]

I'm goin to Gignatour Tuesday :D

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Man, I love dream theater so much..

The Spirit Carries On is awsome!

[Win A Rabbit]

nah, i don't have a problem. drinking for fun and drinking for "relief" or whatever the drunk's reasons are, they're much different.

hey, mk and tgp, how can i make an animated avatar kind of like yours? i just got a cool idea for a new avatar.

[Murd_666]

Hey I'm Edvan Auyon, I'm also known as Edvan Halen, Moses and Pylon. I've been playing for about 11 months. I'm 14, and I have pretty much no life. I listen to Slipknot, Mushroomhead, Cradle of Filth, Spineshank, Mudvayne, Static-X, Norma Jean, Zao, System of a Down,Kittie, AFI, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Sum 41, Skillet, Thousand Foot Krutch, Pillar, Nirvana, Living Sacrifice, Korn, Gorillaz, Godsmack, Evanescence, Dry Cell, Dream Theater, Billy Talent, AC/DC, Bana, Do As Infinity, and some other music from Inu Yasha and other Japanese Shows.

[Massik Kretal]

Well I made both. And i made it in Flash.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

ew.. you cant listen to slipknot and dream theater. You suck.

[TheClash6412]

brace yourself


edit: too late i guess, tgp beat me to it

[Massik Kretal]

Hes right. It's not right.

[Murd_666]

ew.. you cant listen to slipknot and dream theater. You suck.and I'm proud of it, anyways it's possible I don't limit myself to anything when it comes to listening to music

[TheClash6412]

ewww norma jean man? why waste your time on the ***** crap

[Murd_666]

wow someone knows them I'm suprised

[TheClash6412]

yea, but they sucks. the whole "hardcore" scene has rotted and gone to hell

[Double Bass Jim]

Reminds me of when I was at the gigantour actually. Besides DT and symph X I could care less about the other bands. I saw the first band play 'dry kill logic' man that was crap. Then symph X came out and let me tell you thats a hard act to follow up. I had to sit and watch fear factory play after those guys man what a waste of 60 minutes that was! I couldnt wait till they got off so DT could come on, the only reason I sat and watched was to save my seat up front :cool:

[Murd_666]

meh I don't really care for others opinion, no offence, but I just like listening to w/e

[TheClash6412]

alrite, your time that your wasting

[Massik Kretal]

Oh Jim could you tell me the line up. I wanna now if I should arrive a little late or early.

[Murd_666]

alrite, your time that your wastingmy time is always wasted so I don't think it really matters

[TheClash6412]

just go to the website

[Massik Kretal]

Im lazy.

[Double Bass Jim]

Well I know bobaflex is the first band to play, I missed there set completly I heard they sucked anyway so no big deal. The next is dry kill logic generic metal HORRIBLE live show poor musicicanship ect..., then symph X goes on one stage and then dillenger escape plan plays on another stage at the same time, I watched X obviosuly since I despise DEP. Then nevermore plays one stage and fear factory plays another. At my show fear factory was on the main stage so I wanted to get my seat for DT. I had to sit through their garbage until it was over for DT :cool: then after DT megadeth comes on which I skipped and left early.

[Massik Kretal]

Is there 2 stages for every concert or was that the way your area was setup? If its everyone then would you suggest Nevermore or Fear Factory?

[Double Bass Jim]

Nevermore, at least they have a decent guitar player.

Depends on the venue I guess.

[TheClash6412]

fear factory if dt is coming on after, you could focus on pushing your way to the front instead of listening to them....i went to a concert once 4 days after i had knee surgery and i was on crutches and they let me go to the front, it was tight

[Double Bass Jim]

Symph opened with the song inferno, what a killer opening riff.

[Massik Kretal]

Sick, I can't wait.

EDIT - Anyone else goin on Tuesday?

[Win A Rabbit]

hey massik, could you possibly make me an avatar? i wanna join the cool club. i can post a pic of what i was trying to do, but it turns out i'm terrible at computers.

[Massik Kretal]

arite what would you like?

[Win A Rabbit]

edit: disregard that, i just came up with a better avatar :lol: sorry about that.

[Massik Kretal]

Arite.



Your loss.

[Win A Rabbit]

well i'm off to bed. i'll be working in just under 9 hours. i wasn't even able to talk to my dad about quitting, as he went to bed immediately when he got home, so i'll talk to him tomorrow.

[Massik Kretal]

Nighty nite.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

Hey Jim do you think you could recommend me some Symphony X? The only songs of their I know are Sea of Lies, Fallen, and Accolade 2. They're pretty good and I'm interested in hearing more.

[Massik Kretal]

Of Sins and Shadows

[Double Bass Jim]

Yea check out death of balance/lacrymosa for a great drum track.

Inferno's great, the divine wings of tragedy, smoke and mirrors, the edge of forever.

The song the odyssey too what a masterpiece that is, one of the best compositions i've ever heard.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

Awesome, thanks.

Any recommended albums to start with?

[Double Bass Jim]

Start with the odyssey.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

Alright thanks, I'll keep this in mind the next time I'm CD shopping.

[Tim]

[Massik Kretal]

True.

[Massik Kretal]

Goodnight ya'll

[lpmeca]

Morning everybody, hows it going?

[PowerStamp]

Jim!
Dry Kill Logic is a great band, shame on you. DEP too.

But Dry Kill is actually very versitile, one of the greater bands from the "nu metal" era (their old CD kinda was, new CD not so much), and put on a great show last I saw them.
:P

[stabbinspaghetti]

i missed lots of stuff, and i dont care to read because im lazy, had the best night ever....

[lpmeca]

[stabbinspaghetti]

i have no clue, umm i need to sell my bass....dunno how much i can get for it....i played it once...so its mint...bass amp new better cable, gig bag....tuner...you know the stuff

[gastery6]

I have an idea. Why dont you learn to play it instead of selling it. Bass groves are so cool.

[stabbinspaghetti]

yeah, but see, my fingers are not made for it, trust me, see i know these things, and i need the money for new drum fund

then ill sell my drums(pearl export, barfs)

that will be prolly all hopefully sold around christmas time, which equals more money there, so i could mabe get around a 800-1000 dollar set!!! then ill work for cymbals

[spike9908]

what bass/amp etc. is it?

[poppinfresh]

**** i can't believe gigantour switched their **** schedule. When i was having dinner with dave he said they would be stopping in san jose but then they switched it to sacramento two weeks after. dangnammit.

[Massik Kretal]

Umm, off topic but how do you create those advatars MK?

Many programs...I use flash.

[Josiah]

seriously, we didnt take any pics....but it was like the best fun ever, it was like we were all of crack


You know that presuposes you know what being on crack is like.

[stabbinspaghetti]

[stabbinspaghetti]

[stabbinspaghetti]

im putting an ad for it in the tell n sell(its our local selling thing, like a penny saver, only you can put ads in free, and buy the tell n sell for a dollar)

[stabbinspaghetti]

[The Fiction We Live]

Wohoo! I'm going to pick up my new 20" Paiste Reflector Dry Ride today!

[stabbinspaghetti]

[The Fiction We Live]

I'll try. It depends if my camera is still broken. I'll let you all know how it is when I get back, now I gotta go though.

[stabbinspaghetti]

Wohoo! I'm going to pick up my new 20" Paiste Reflector Dry Ride today!

sweet. that is a nice ride.

[poppinfresh]

at the paiste cymbal expo, i tried an 18 in full crash next to an 18 in reflector, they sounded EXACTLY the same.

there really isnt any difference between the regular and reflectors. i did the same thing with a 20" dimensions deep full ride. i think there might be a tad more ping on the reflector, but not enough to be noticable when your playing.

[Josiah]

I thought they reflected the sound... *shrug*

"punk rock changed our lives.."

damn i just found out that the Gigantour is stopping 45min. from me this saturday and i cant go because i dont have money. even worse, i could get section 3 floor seats (stage right) for $45

These overnights are a bitch, I can't wait for them to be done, I'm all kinds of messed up.

[stabbinspaghetti]

hah yeah im hungry too, having steak for dinner

juliette and the licks-i never got to tell you what i wanted to

[Fuzzy]

I just drummed the entire "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" (My Chemical Romance) album. Man that stuff is fun, though it takes some stamina. I had no trouble with it, which is good because my band may play a song or two of MCR's live. Then it was Muse's Stockholm Syndrome, Foo Fighter's Everlong, and Bush's Glycerine.

[The Fiction We Live]

I'm not a fan of MCR.....

[Fuzzy]

And I can't stand rap. To each his own! :thumb:

[Half Life]

Rap sucks, I'm with Fuzzy :cool:

[The Fiction We Live]

I hate rape too... did I ever say that I liked it? :confused:

[CombatWombat3]

^^^Do you mean rape or rap?


Anyway, I'm eating string cheese. Anyone else like string cheese?

[TheClash6412]

i like a band called the string cheese incident

[spike9908]

that probably has to be one of the worst band names ive heard since "the suburban sound" but now that ive heard them and realized how amazing they are, its a good name. (check "my homepage" to hear some of their stuff)

[Win A Rabbit]

well i mowed grass for 8 hours today. my boss came in drunk as hell (he's actually a recovering alcoholic, but he drinks every day anyways) and he followed me around for about 45 minutes, watching me mow. then i went over to him and asked him what he was doing, he mumbled through some words, then said "so i heard you were leaving us..." in an angry voice. i told him my reasons, and he started getting angrier. i swear he was almost going to try to fight me :lol: so i told him to go home, and that he was no use here, blah blah blah, he got angrier and stormed off.

what a way to leave a job, hey?

well it wasn't all bad, i had a big talk with one of the marshalls there, who i've been "friends" with for about a year, but we never really talked for more than 5 minutes before. we talked for about an hour on my lunch break about everything possible, it was probably the best conversation i've ever had.

so yea, i'm 99% done with that job, they're on their own from here on in. :lol: it's gonna be brutal next year, i guarantee they ask me back. and that's not even my ego talking, that's common sense.

[Ethan.]

I mowed for about 1 hour and threw up and almost passed out today. It sucked the guys grass was so thick. I could hardly push his mower. I wish I had that kind you ride on. My dad won't let me use his. What's worse is I didn't get paid because I didn't finish the whole yard. It's huge.

[poppinfresh]

why didnt you raise the wheels.

[spike9908]

man, thats gay. im lucky we have a riding mower, our yard is pretty big. even with the riding mower it takes like half an hour to do.

[Ethan.]

I don't think the wheels could be changed on that because its an old one. I didn't even know I could raise the wheels though.

[poppinfresh]

oh.

[styler]

anybody name a few good indie bands?

[Ethan.]

Ha ha I'm watching family guy right now. it's on fox.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

man, thats gay. im lucky we have a riding mower, our yard is pretty big. even with the riding mower it takes like half an hour to do.

I have a riding mower and it takes about 3 hours to mow everything. I have a very large lawn, and I mow my grandma's lawn too. Thank God I don't have to do all that with just a push mower...

[Jomofo]

anybody name a few good indie bands?

The Decemberists are pretty good.

[spike9908]

Ha ha I'm watching family guy right now. it's on fox.

So tommorow im hanging with the 2 hottest girls i know... alone... should be fun.

[spike9908]

ahhhhh I always forget about it now that it's back on! **** it...

i dont think it was a new one though, so ill get my family guy fill later tonight (actuically in about an hour)

i have a job interview in the morning. when they called, the guy was sort of acting like i practically had the job already so hopefully that is a good sign.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

What's the job?

[-TheGlassPrison-]

I think hes saying he called himself and has an interview tommorow morning with himself about selling his body...

Yum!

[stabbinspaghetti]

there are a ton of indie bands, but indie just refers to independent....so you need to specify what genre etc....i dunno who told you indie was but its very very broad

[Win A Rabbit]

i feel extremely sick. i'm sure it's more than just a cold or whatnot. it started out with just a stuffed head, and last night i was having cold sweats for about 2 hours. this morning i was feeling a bit better, but once i got back from work, it started to come back again. i went to watch my "under the table and drumming" video at 8:00, and fell asleep at 8:30. i woke up at 9:00 in a pool of sweat, room was all stuffed up, my forehead was amazingly hot. so i got some icebags (covered in a towel) and put them on my forehead and chest, to try to stop the sweating. it kept going, ice or no ice. for another hour i felt the sickest ive ever felt (and i've been mighty sick in the past) but couldn't sit upright without feeling even sicker. so now here i am, icebag on my head.

someone cheer me up. :)

[poppinfresh]

oh its a 13 by 6 and its brassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[The Fiction We Live]

How does it sound??

[Massik Kretal]

Wouldnt it be better with gold lugs?

[poppinfresh]

i dont know how it sounds yet, but the way i imagine it being 13 by 6 and brass it should have a pretty nice punch with a little more sensitivity than a 14. and im usually against buying things without hearing it first, but its a good deal and its in perfect condition and i really need it before i play at this festival on the 17 and 18 my sonor snare wont cut it and i dont have that much time or money.

It might be better with gold lugs but the chrome kind of gives it a different look, i dunno i like it.

[Massik Kretal]

Yeah it does look nice, but I would never think of that combo.

[The Fiction We Live]

It does look great. Not too many gold brass snares around (that I've seen) they're usually all black brass.

[poppinfresh]

oh the only black brass ones that ive seen are the pork pies. The yamahas are gold also. hopefully this will come with new heads because that was the last of my money and i already new set.

[Massik Kretal]

I think I post to much. I think it was only yesterday or two days ago that I reached 1000 posts and I already have 140 somthin more. Am I an obsessive poster???

[Win A Rabbit]

yay i just threw up. i feel a bit better now, but still horrible. i hope i'm feeling better tomorrow, seeing as how i'm partying. :chug:

does anyone else here drink? if so, what's your drink of choice? if hard liquor, what's your preference of taking it?

mine is captain mo's spiced rum (35%). 13 oz. usually does me good if i eat minimally that day. i find it's best for me to take 2 5 oz. shots within about 5 minutes, wait 10 minutes and finish it off. occasionally i'll finish it in 2 shots, one of these days i'll go for a 13 oz. shot :lol:

well that's my method, tried tested and true. give it a shot, it calls for a great night. :thumb:

[Double Bass Jim]

Man you really should cut back a little. Your liver probably looks like a saltine cracker. :lol:

[poppinfresh]

yeah it is a great snare, i should be getting it wednesday.

[Win A Rabbit]

i'm not too much of a fan of saltine crackers. looks like i'll have to destroy it past the point of a saltine cracker look-a-like. :lol:

I don't drink at all actually never have once.

Jack Daniels or Jamesons irish whisky, straight from the bottle (or if im feeling classy, a hip flask) Unfortunately i tend to go through a bottle..... I bet my liver hates me.

Cant beat a bit of vodka or brandy now and then like. Or absinthe (80% EEK) :)

[-Obscurity-]

I don't drink at all actually never have once.

You are not missing out on anything. I have drank a few times, feeling dimwitted and uncoordinated does just not feel right to a dedicated drummer. The long term mental effects are cumulative, and I am not willing to trade a permanent piece of my mind for a few hours of intoxication.

I have never smoked a cigarette though, and never will.

Hello. New user to these forums. My name is Nick, I'm 15 years old and I live in Tennessee. I've been playing drum for roughly 7 months. I love music. Metal and hardcore (subgenres included) are my two favorite types of music. I listen to other stuff also. I like dating and going out with girls for fun, but I like relationships also. I'm about to make a major upgrade from my kit and cymbals. I have a B average in school and plan on going to Berkely College.

well i'm in the middle of making an arabian techno song. it sounds very cool, very arabian.

and i'm listening to my relient k cd which i just found unfer a pile of socks. i only listened to this cd once or twice, i'm giving it another chance.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Arabian Techno!....

A band that play that kind of music added me to their 'Friends List' on Myspace....Which was surprsing because I have no friends on the site (well, except three or four people)....

And I just opened up the back door to the house (I live in) and I thought it was snowing, but on closer inspection it turned out to be a huge cloud of bloody midgies....

[Massik Kretal]

If d means a half note then what does d = 120 bpm?

It says it in my book and I dunno if it's 60bpm in quarters or 240bpm.

[spike9908]

120 halfs a min. would be 240 quarters a min.

[Massik Kretal]

Oh **** thats fast. I have to play eighth notes to 240bpm so that becomes 480bpm in quarters!!

[Win A Rabbit]

well my arabian techno song took a bit of a turn. i had it as all arabian, then just drums for 4 bars, then the next part was part arabian, part evil sounding, then i was messing around with the evil sounding thing and got an evil mario thing going on. it sounds amazing. who'd have thought arabian music and mario music would have been so good together?

[Massik Kretal]

You know what sounds awesome. Metal mixed with some arabaian music.

[The Fiction We Live]

Pics of my new ride in a little bit.. just got home from my friends house now I'm waiting for an e-mail.

[Ill Mitch]

I just got back from seeing Dave Matthews Band at the Gorge. Damn was that awesome. Carter had a mini drum solo in Dream Girl, and started out Lover Lay down with a solo, and when they played Crush at the end he did his typical triplet pattern between the toms and the snare. On top of that, the Gorge Amphitheater was spectacularly beautiful, topped only by Red Rocks in my opinion (maybe some others that I haven't been to aswell). Unfortunately I didn't bring my camera, but I'm sure you can find pictures of the concert in the next few weeks if you look. If I find any I'll post 'em.

well i just modified my set once again. i brought my little timable snare up behind my 13" tom, it's alot more convenient having it there instead of on the left of my hats. this makes it alot easier to use my marching snare drum too. here's the link, to my magical kit.

[img=http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/7558/drums9nx.th.png] (http://img391.imageshack.us/my.php?image=drums9nx.png)

it's so comfortable to play, and everything's all nice and close. my rack tom is tilted the slightest bit, and my floor toms are perfectly flat.
