Drum Stronghold

[Distant Echoes]

Happy Birthday

I have off today, and its about 9:00 now, and none of theregulars im used to are online. We had off since its a snow day, and a phone call woke me up early, so ill probably work on a new drum lesson or somethin.

I wish it were my b-day, i could use the money

[l3n]

My bday is 8 months away :upset:

[Drum Boy]

IM Barry, im irish, and i've been playing round 2 and a half years! I like evry type of music except metal and classical and some pop! Im 14 but i'll be 15 on April 1st! Bands I like: Miles Davis, Saves The Day, Jimi Hendrix, Reel Big Fish, Buddy Guy, RHCP, Greenday, Eric Clapton/Cream among many others!

[Fuzzy]

You're kidding, you need another tom?

Hahahaha :lol: No! Not at all! Four toms will be my limit for a few years. I've enough to handle. I was going to think about mics and a mixer, but the cases seem so logical. So what do you people think?

[spirit]

BAH!

WHY OH WHY MUST I PLAY MORE THAN ONE INSTRUMENT!


WHY!?

I hear ya. Play guitar as well. Got over £1000 worth of guitar gear and...*calculates*...just short of £1000 worth of drumkit related stuff, not including the running cost of picks and sticks. Think what kind of setup I could have for one or the other if I only played one...

[eddieFISHER]

Hi, Im eddie fisher, been drumming for arround 3 years, Currently studying electrical engineering with a side course of musical acoustics at Edinburgh Uni, been in two bands so far, both went ok-ish upto a point but found a large degree of artistic difference with guitarists wanting to go in directions i didnt like. Hobbies are drumming (obvoiusly), bongos, small amount of webdesign (www.fisherdrumweb.cjb.net) and music. Love a wide range of musical styles but concentrated in the alternative genre, none of this RnB or Dance, just not that interested. Love all things with guitar and strange time signatures. Currently using Sabian cymbals, i prefer them to Paiste. and currently my favourite drum lick is the 17/8 into to Trapped in the Wake of a Dream by Mudvayne and a lot of Tool stuff, excecially the hand percussion stuff in their weird intos etc.

[Fuzzy]

That is an awesome drum intro. Mudvayne's drummer is pretty awesome!

[Bombadil84]

Hi
My name is Thomas Belanger, and i'm from Quebec, Canada. The nick is from LOTR character Tom Bombadil (you know, the friend of nature)...
I'm 20, im in university, and my hobbies are hockey, drumming, guitar, videogames, and have a cold beer (or a few).
I like rock, hard rock, punk, metal and power metal music, wich i try to play on my drums & guitar. I've been playing guitar for 4 years and drums for... about 1 month and a half.
That's about it.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

You're kidding, you need another tom?

Hello! My name is Dave, and I'm Irish (but I live in Nottingham, UK - that's where Robin Hood once pranced about a forest in green tights yet still managed to bag himself the fairest maiden in all the land. I've tried the same thing but only seem to manage to pull other guys prancing around in tights.)


Nice :lol:

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Heh, Im a better Photographer then you Fuzzy!

Aww Shucks!

[MrRobbyOnDrums]

^^ u took that pic? Nice work, really.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Yeh... Im an amature photographer.. well.. kinda
My mom, an avid photographer was surprised at how amazing my pictures were for just teaching myself!
Honestly, i just stumbled across photography.. its cool though!

[Shoot2thrill]

I'm Kyle Kinney, I live in Monona Wisconsin and I'm 14 years old turning 15 in May. I'm a freshman in highschool and I play in a band called Lost Cause, I also do the screaming while playing. Kinda like Atreyu but the roles are reversed. I''ll have been playing for about 5 years as of July 20th. I also jam with my dad who plays guitar and my uncle who is also a guitar god. My idols in life are my uncle, John Bonham, Neil Peart, and Danny Carey.

[Distant Echoes]

I lovetakin pictures of stuff...but a lack of funds prevents us from even owning a digital camera :(

But if i see a good scene or somethin, i wont hesitate to take a picture. Im more into nature though...sort of touchy, but it just interest me more, and seems much more easier for candid shots rather then killing myself to get a setting just right, which is why im not much of a people photo person.

:lol: my last band name was lost cause, but i quit eventually...its a pretty popular name though.

I wish somebody in my family were good at guitar...they could give me a few pointers. Im basically on my own totally on everything i do.

Ok.. and who cares?
And just to let ya know... its from darkening the photo;)

Umm.. Nice Cymbal, too bad you cant see it cause its reflecting so much

SH*T!
Hot ****!
This thread is huge regardless if Double Bass Jim wasn't luvin it!

My name is Jeff. I live in Los Angeles. At the age of 43 I am living out a long lost desire to be a rock and roll drummer. When i was a young dawg like most of you i wanted to be a drummer first, a Formula 1 Driver second and a Fashion Photographer third. I settled for number 3!

For my birthday in December my fiancee' bought me my first drum kit. A Ludwig CS Custom Natural Birch. She knew I always had this unfulfilled dream. That's why I love her!

I just made my first upgrade with a purchase of two Zild Custom A crashes and I am still high! I have a long way to go and not as much time as you youngins to get there..

I like all music. I love Punk, I love Rock, I love Jazz. I saw Bonham and Moon play and a gazillion others in between and since...I've seen alot. I've heard alot.

This board is cool...it has really help me out....KEEP ON POSTIN :thumb:

[-TheGlassPrison-]

[l3n]

You are my music man, baby.

[RichHunt]

Plus I have 3 more guitars, a piano in the house and a bunch of various percussive instruments.

[SonorKen]

blah, I don't even wanna try to figure up how much money I have in gear.

[big mac]

Hi everyone!I'm Dan(18 years old) and i live in romania in a small town,Braila.I've been drumming for about 1 year.I use a Tama swingstar kit united with a no name kit so now it's a 8 pcs kit :3 toms, 2 floor toms,2 bass drums and a snare.The cymbals i use are various:16" crash,20"ride and 14"hats that came with the tama kit(they sound pretty good though,i love the sound of the crash), 16 Paiste 802 and a 10" paiste mini china(it's pretty old,you can't even read the logo anymore) and a Stagg 16" DH china. Guess i'm the only one here from Romania!:thumb:

[RichHunt]

Anyone ever used the Ferit series hi hats by bosphorous?

I think I have, but I can't be sure.

[Double Bass Jim]

I wish they stocked more of those types around here, were pretty much limited to the big 3.

[spirit]

I wish they stocked more of those types around here, were pretty much limited to the big 3.

Same here. Some Stagg, and about 3 Istanbul cymbals is about as far as anywhere round here strays.

[-Obscurity-]

They just started carrying Meinl at my local music store. They seem to be gaining popularity pretty quick. They had Stagg for a while, but never sold one of them. They eventually tried to liquidate them at 50% off the regular (not list) price, and still had not much luck. I tried a few out, and didn't like any of them. They don't carry Paiste around here though, I have to order anything I want from them online.

[Double Bass Jim]

Id like to try there soundcaster series.

[-Obscurity-]

Id like to try there soundcaster series.

I haven't had the chance to really bang away at them, but just from messing around with the displays, they seem to be the company's answer to Zildjian A's, they even have a Soundcaster custom line just like A customs. I have really liked the Byzance cymbals I tried out. They have definitely sparked my interest, something none other than the big 3 have been able to do so far.

[Double Bass Jim]

Yea thats probably what caught my attention. Im a huge fan of the reuglar A sound and the soundcasters do have a similar tone, the crash decay is what really makes them sound alike.

[Kaptor306]

meinl are definitely great cymbals, popularity-wise, they just are popular because the drummer for Lamb of God uses them.

[SonorKen]

http://www.kpam.com/voicemail-Dallascarwreck.mp3

Give that a listen, its hilarious.

[Fuzzy]

And Christoph Doom Schneider.

[Queen Anne's Revenge]

^^^^ :thumb:

[RichHunt]

And the ever so obvious Thomas Lang..

[Double Bass Jim]

His cymbals had a strange sound on the creative control DVD.

[-Obscurity-]

He said that he designed most of them for a quick "white noise" effect that would emulate the sounds of sampled cymbals, and would decay quickly as not to clutter his playing style. That is basically the exact opposite of what I look for in a cymbal sound. There is an older scene of him jamming with a fusion band on that dvd, and he is using some nicer sounding Zildjians.


I just noticed my stars are gone! What's going on here?

[Double Bass Jim]

Rep system has been removed.

[DxRocker]

Rep system has been removed.

hallelulja :D

[Double Bass Jim]

Yea I was never to fond of it anyway.

[Der Meister]

you still have stars Jim, did you really have that much rep? :lol: whats the deal with some people still having stars Jim?

[spirit]

Rep system has been removed.

:amaze:

'bout time. Although, I still see my stars. Indeed, and the rest of the system, little clicky buttons and all. I can still rep/neg.

[Der Meister]

have you logged out since it was removed? maybe you have to logout for the changes to take effect. We have the search function people :amaze:

[spirit]

have you logged out since it was removed? maybe you have to logout for the changes to take effect. We have the search function people :amazed:

I got told to check my User CP, and sure enough, there's no rep section there. Perhaps the idea is to keep the system, but to not have them getting signed, to stop the needlees whoring of rep?

[Der Meister]

i can't rep people so that can't be it...

[spirit]

i can't rep people so that can't be it...

I can. Time differences? I'm GMT.

[trysthedrummer]

O crap I cant too.

[spirit]

i can't rep people so that can't be it...

Having looked at the site forum, it appears that those who still have stars have the ability to rep and neg. *grins manically*

[Der Meister]

there goes you're stars lol, I'm GMT too so i guess it just look a while to process it.

[spirit]

:upset:

[Seafroggys]

..*sniff* just when I managed to pull off four stars :upset:

[-Obscurity-]

I hear it's still around, but only mods can rep people.

[Tommy-r]

^ whats the point in that when you can't check your points or get stars?

[-Obscurity-]

^ whats the point in that when you can't check your points or get stars?

I suppose if a mod repped you, you would be able to see it. Until then it won't show anything. Also if you get enough mod reps, you will still be able to get stars and then start repping other people.

[Simple Man]

I haven't talked to you guys in forever.

Yeah, Rep's still here, Read the Announcement.

[Distant Echoes]

Rep was a terrible abuse, but it was fun while it lasted.

I wasnt huge on repping people, but I liked the comments. Good times....

[Simple Man]

So, How is everyone?

[Distant Echoes]

Whats up Simple Man?

Im fine...working on a report now. I wish this thread would move a little faster, it really is fun once one of these gets going.

I was sopposed to go to sam ash today, but we couldnt since my sister came back from college. Oh well, maybe next week.

NP: The Who - were not gonna take it

[Simple Man]

Not bad, I fractured my ankle this week :(

[-TheGlassPrison-]

that SUCKS.. how?

[Simple Man]

Soccer, It sucks, Our first game is Monday.

[Vespa]

Yo guys.

Good news: Got a new A custom 17" fast Crash and through college, my portfolio has been put on an agency shortlist. This agency deal with English TV channels and major record labels, meaning if someone needs a drummer, they ask the agency and go through the people and audition the ones they pick.

Meaning i could be on TOTP and CD:UK and in a successfull band on a major.

Seems realy far fetched, we shall see if anything comes of it, but ive been talking to my college director and he seems excited for me!

Bad news: i cant sell my cymbals!

Oh well.

Also, i get £1000 in october from some insurance thing my nan did for me or something odd, meaning new kit. Gonna save and go full out, just gotta choose :)

Im in a good mood but i dont feel too great.

[RichHunt]

This isn't drum related, but since I'm a drummer and I enjoy all your opinions I shall show you regardless.

I have released a new song called Stay, not the final recording by any means.

http://www.mp3.com.au/artist.asp?id=19430

You can check it out there. Streaming may not work, so download it anyway.

Thanks!

[Der Meister]

nice work rich, very mellow.

Finally, someone posts something about it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you..

You're like.. only the 3rd person to respond out of HEAPS that I've tried to show it to..

[Double Bass Jim]

My g.c is now stocking wuhan "S" and trad finish indivudal cymbals, I think I might have to start building a set-up of them.

[Der Meister]

Good song tooo

[Distant Echoes]

Tell us how you like your Ks der meister...im sure theyll be great

Ill be stockin up on new material after i get that golfclub money deal for a grand or so...i cant wait, though Ill probably focus more in on set expansion rather then cymbals and hardware etc.

I never wanted a big set, but i lack creativity, so i feel ill get the most out of my abilitys with a big one

[Simple Man]

Haven't been on in awhile.

[plexiglass]

Hi everybody!

[l3n]

Hi!!!!! What's up.

[plexiglass]

Just the usual. How about you?

[l3n]

Not too bad, got a week off school from now, but I'll be at water polo training for the whole week.

[Simple Man]

Hey John.

[jeffdude22]

I have a joke!


How long does it take to microwave a baby?

[jeffdude22]

Not too bad, got a week off school from now, but I'll be at water polo training for the whole week.

Hey, you live in singapore don't you? It seems kind of weird that water polo would be a major sport. Oh wait, is it in the olympics?
Anyway here in the US (or at least in my region) it's just a game the swim team plays for fun.

[GabeSHL]

Wow.. 68' Ludwig.. Good Condition?
Yeah its in incredible condition...It got completely restored and everything right before I bought it.

[Drazinus]

Okay, so I just figured I'd make an announcement:

Tomorrow I'm going to the Business Professionals of America Mass. State competition. I'm going for Basics of HTML(I'm thinking this one will be quite easy, as I managed to skim over last years, and it was really...basic...) and Extemporaneous Speech.

For those who don't know what Extemporaneous Speech is, it's basically where they ask you a question(in my case related to business) and you basically wing an answer. You don't know the question beforehand, and it can be ANYTHING related to business, being ethics, management, etc.

Business Professionals of America(BPA) is for Vocational students in Computer Technology courses, for anyone who's familiar with VICA and DECA, it's similar to those. Anyway, wish me luck, as last year when I went I took Basic Word Processing, getting a big fat ZERO because I forgot my study guide(which contains how memos, letters, etc are set up) which they let you take into the test(along with any books you want to have with you) and totally bombed. Though I scored fairly well on the open competitions(just walk into a room, grab a fill in the bubble style test, and start), but not high enough for any reckognition. I'm going for the gold this year.

[-Draz-]

[alpatchino]

hey all,
yeah, my name is greg, i'm 15, i like drums/girls and music.

does anyone have some like.. wicked dark/death metal and/or punk music to reccommend. i like heavy and hardcore stuff, but i just don't know where to get it, like, i don't hear much of it on the radio, so yeah. can some people reccommend some stuff for me.. just anything hard/heavy that would be awesome thanks..


btw. jeffdude;
how long does it take to microwave a baby?

[Distant Echoes]

Good Luck Drazinuss. Tell us how you do

On a different note...hows everybody doin?

[thumperfoot]

Hi all! My name is Sheila and I live in Wisconsin. I guess I'm a "noob". I'm in my 30's and played drums for about 6 months to a year when I was 16, then nothing until my husband got me a set last spring. I'm busy working on the rudiments and stuff on my own. No band. Just me. I'm a mom and pretty busy all the time, but I practice at least an hour every day. It's great stress relief. Nice meeting you all!

(Hey, what's that "rep" thing?)

[Der Meister]

Rep was a way of stopping spam as users could get positve or negatove rep for their posts, when you got alot of rep you got stars.

The probelm was many people abused it an needlesly repped their friends (everyone in the pit had stars) and it didn't stop spam and some say it caused eliteism.

Now Mods give out rep and when users have alot of positive Mod rep they can give rep.

[jeffdude22]

btw. jeffdude;
how long does it take to microwave a baby?

I don't know. I was too busy masturbating. :lol:

[cctama29]

[FlyingPaul_83]

Off topic but what is the easiest metallica song for drummers(obviously)

[TTTSNB]

Off topic but what is the easiest metallica song for drummers(obviously)
Most of them are pretty simple, but I'm thinking some of the ballads, like Sanitarium or Fade to Black. Also, For Whom the Bell Tolls is quite simple.

[Der Meister]

one that comes to mind is Until it sleeps

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Nothing else matters is simple.. good song too..

[Juicy_Forlorn]

Yea, it was the first song I learned. It's pretty easy.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Ever see the Metallica DVD where they played that with a full orchestra?
Amazing.. although metallica lost me when St.Anger came out

[Hammerheart]

Do you mean the S&M DVD? I saw part of that DVD a while ago but I can't remember if I saw them play Nothing Else Matters.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Yep, James was in the middle with an acoustic

[Juicy_Forlorn]

Oh yeah, I remember now, I did see that. I remember my brother being so confused as to how they got distortion out of an acoustic guitar lol

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Hahaha, yeah.. its a really wicked part


Anyone ever see the Rammstien DVD's? WOW!
Insane!
Especially when Schnieder plays with roman candles!

[Simple Man]

Is it just me or is no ones avatars showing up, It has nothing there...

[Queen Anne's Revenge]

That would be crazy awesome to see.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

[cctama29]

[SnareXcore]

My name is Hawx. I'm 19 and I'm the drummer of an emo/posthardcore style band called NOT in COLUMBIA from the north west of England. We recently won the north west battle of the bands. We have a demo out but it sounds mainly pop punk, check it out on our site (http://www.notincolumbia.com) or on our myspace account (http://www.myspace.com/notincolumbia). I've been playing drums for 11 years and I've only just gone out and bought my second kit (buying a new kit every few months doesnt make you good). I own a dark red 1986 Pearl Masters. I haven't got a job I just do the band at the moment (we have just been approached by Halo Guitars (http://www.haloguitars.com), they want to sponsor us but I'm the drummer so I won't get any free stuff) but I am wanting a full time job just to fund the band (I only recently left my job). I live with my mum dad and sister. We had a dog but like it died lol **** =| Erm I also like smoking (not drugs) and hanging out. I'm really into emo and hardcore music. And thats it =P =)) h.x

Yeah, I live in Singapore. And nope, water polo isn't really that major a sport here. I'm in junior college, and it's pretty much an unrecognized extra curricular activity, because we come in 4th out of 5 schools every year :upset: There's no swim team in my school here, so water polo's the next best thing :cool:

[l3n]

Yep, James was in the middle with an acoustic


The whole S&M idea was genius. I'd never get bored of the DVD

[-TheGlassPrison-]

He plays a Starclassic too<3
Im not much of a Lars fan...

Jim, It was fun man, I think I'm done with MX, Thanks for all you've done for me.

[Double Bass Jim]

Alright buddy, take care of yourself.

[l3n]

He plays a Starclassic too<3

Well, I don't hold much regard for his playing nowadays, but I loved his kit and playing in S&M, simply magical.

[Der Meister]

So to keep this alive.

Anyone one else doing their GCSE's this year? I'm pretty sure I'll come out with 9, thanks to modular science :(

[playwithfire]

Well I guess I'm a latecomer to this thread, but whatever. I'm Tyson, and I'm from Manitoba, Canada. I've played drums since junior high (humble air-drumming and drum-roll beginnings), and I'm graduating this year. In the fall I'm going to university in either Saskatoon (at the U of Saskatchewan) or in Winnipeg (at the U of Manitoba). I'll be taking 4 or 5 years to get my B.A. in commerce (depending on if I take University 1 for my first year at university). In high school right now I'm in a class called Performing Arts, which is basically two guitarists, a bassist, a singer and me doing covers of songs, writing songs, etc, and then in the end going to Winnipeg to record a demo so we get more familiar with the process. I've been in several bands, cut a demo with one of them, but all of them have broken up, and Performing Arts is what I would call my band right now, as we have several shows lined up.

My interests and hobbies include drumming, songwriting, listening to music, hanging out with friends, partying, going to movies, going on trips, relaxing at the lake, and I guess I don't mind video games from time to time.

[Double Bass Jim]

I gotta give ya props man, your a good user nice to have around!

[Distant Echoes]

playwithfire is by far one of my fav users...i remember him in his early days with my previous username. Iron Turtle caught my attention recently with his lengthy; and detailed answers to alot of the questions up here

Did you, by any chance, get offered a modding job for a different site (which i wont name) recently, playwithfire? I wont mention the site on account of advertising, but im curious...

[Drazinus]

Good Luck Drazinuss. Tell us how you do

Yeah, I didn't place in either of my events. For E. Speech, I got this: "What can companies do to help prevent workplace violence" I came in 7th or 8th, I think, according to my advisor, and the notes on my speech that she got was my ending was a little short...that and when I'd look up to not read from my notes, I'd lose my place on the notes, and wouldh ave to take a few seconds finding it again, but whatever, I was the first person from my school to even try that event, so I guess that makes me feel better...Then with fundamentals of HTML, they had us like, basically create new web pages, and one of them recquired us to do forms, well, I don't know how to do forms(this was all to be done only in notepad, btw), so I tried, and managed to get like, input type bars, the kind where you type the title of a post or thread on here, but I also needed to get radio buttons, and reset and submit buttons and such, and I just didn't have enough time to mess around with that. On another note however, our website design team placed first(which I was supposed to be on, but that's another story) so that was good, because we're a tiny school compared to some others so to come in first in that, when some schools send in two teams sometimes, was pretty good. But I still ahd a fun weekend regardless...

[-Draz-]

[Distant Echoes]

7th or 8th isnt that bad. I mean...how many people do you think could do all that crap of all of us?

Congrats :thumb: props for you

Agreed. Nice job man.
Hey, my name is Will, I'm 16, my favorite drummers are Igor Cavalera, Hellhammer, Mike Smith, Elvin Jones, John Bonham, etc,etc. I got into drumming when I simply wanted to learn an instrument. I am also known as The Thing That Should Never Be. I'm just using this name until I become unbanned. :upset:

[Wrath of the Tyrants]

Keep the thread going everyone.

[Der Meister]

what you get banned for?

[Killjoy]

K here goes

My name is Rolie Chavez Jr. I'm a freshman in college and im a chemistry major. (math wiz) I have been playing everyday for about 8yrs now and i will never stop. My band and i have recorded 3 CD. Been living in Tx. I listen to punk, metal, and JAZZ.

What can i say drums relax me.

[Wrath of the Tyrants]

what you get banned for?
I made a thread called MX Marylanders, as I wanted to know who else here lives in Maryland. People posted stupidly in it(I thought that was the reason for its closure), so I made a new one. Apparently there was a bunch of other threads for other states, and I got banned

[-TheGlassPrison-]

thing - 2 week ban, 12 days 15 hours left.

Thats what the mod said, i asked him how long you were banned for

[Wrath of the Tyrants]

Thanks man for telling me. 2 WEEKS? Thats a while... Oh well.

[Double Bass Jim]

2 weeks is ridiculous! Your unbanned man.

[playwithfire]

Did you, by any chance, get offered a modding job for a different site (which i wont name) recently, playwithfire? I wont mention the site on account of advertising, but im curious...I know the MX'er who got that job, I wasn't offered it and had never known about it up until he mentioned it to me.

So as of now I'm pretty dedicated to the MXD&P ;). I visit the Pearl forums once in a while, just as a guest though, to see what opinions are on there. I decided against joining because seeing as it's owned by Pearl, it's pretty biased towards Pearl.

I don't really frequent many other forums, I check in on things on a few every couple of months but that's really all. MX is the only one I'm on even on a weekly basis (though with MX it's usually a daily basis).

[Wrath of the Tyrants]

Yeah...I was offered first, and i suggested a few people i knew of here in my early days on my other username. Bobbyjohnny was the other one offered, and possibly some others i dont know about, but i was just wondering.

Im still dedicated to these forums though...when i see some worthy questions of being answered. The other one doesnt even have more then 15 members next..none that post rather then the mods.Thats were most of my articles come from though.

Anyway...i actually got a jam going this week...my first for a long time.
i toldmy firned Id go to his house and tune his very very crappy set for him, but itll probably die again in 5 minutes of playing, :lol: but a promise is a promise. It should be fun

[RichHunt]

Does anyone else find that the bass drum is a fair bit louder than the snare in Hells Kitchen (DT of course), especially near the end.

Maybe it's just because the bass drum has a big oomph to it and the snare is kinda deep.

[tigerstripes]

Haha come on! Neilsons great man.

Yeah he is king imo. Classic comedy king! well in my era.

Yeah. I've always found Mike's snare sound to be generally quite weak and quiet.

[prttimedrumr]

Geez, now I feel like the old Fogie!!

My name is Rich and I'm from Warren, MI (North of Detroit) and I'm 40 (yikes!)

I played percussion from Junior High partway through college. Played marching band, concert band, pit orchestra, jazz band you name it.... Toured Europe with Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp travelling international concert band and jazz band one summer, that was COOL! So I sold my set off halfway through college (a late 70's Slingerland metallic blue) cuz I was strapped for cash and didn't have time to play them.... Graduate, get a job, get married, have kids etc...... somewhere in the back of my mind I miss playing... not just the drum set but all percussion! Last year I joined the Warren Concert Band, a local community band that's been around for about 35 years now, god it feels good to play again, with a serious group!

Now my oldest son plays percussion too, in the middle school. He's pretty good if I do say so myself! About 2 months ago he gets "invited" to join the jazz band (and yes, it's by invite only) and his instructer calls me one day to say he's doing pretty good but will really needs a set at home to practice with (see the wheels turning :lol: ), turns out all the other drummers in jazz band are 8th graders and will be graduating this year, there are no 7th graders and he's the only 6th grader invited to join so far, odds are somewhat good he may be the ONLY drummer next year in jazz band. So, the wheels are turning, his birthday is tomorrow and he will be surprised with a Pearl Export set (Dark wine/black hardware) and Meinl CMS cymbals, god I can't wait to set it up and surprise him, and then sit down and start showing him some moves....... :D :D :D :D :D

This is a great forum!!


Hi my name is Les. Dont feel alone...LOL....Im 39 and i too have run the gambit of the playing drums and percussion since 6th grade.... i have seven children and four of them are percussionists.....my basement(when we are all playing) is louder than any drumcorp could be.....LMAO I have tried a lot of different kits. I have recently aquired a set of pdps and they are great...sabian and gibralter.

[guitarloser]

My name is Marvin Beagle, i am 17 and have been playing drums for 4 years and guitar for 2. I am in a band, were not that good! I play backup guitar occasionally but mostly hold down the Throne. My favorite band is Metallica and I have a 5-Piece Pearl kit and Zildjian ZXT Titanium cymbals.

[Double Bass Jim]

Yeah. I've always found Mike's snare sound to be generally quite weak and quiet.
Except on LTE :)

Thats still one of my favorite snares, so much ring and overtone.

[trysthedrummer]

Except on LTE :)

Thats still one of my favorite snares, so much ring and overtone. Aye a beaut.

[sleepless]

Bah...I usually don't like to do this but what the hell.

My name's Douglas Dean Read, born in Siloam Springs, Arkansas on 11/16/87, I now live in Indianola, Iowa. I am obsessed with music and drugs and women. I am a supposed "genius" in the top testing percentile in the United States. I don't give a **** about high school. I have chosen to devote my life to percussion/business pursuits, and the love of my beautiful girlfriend Kaci. I like Blindside, Tool, local music scenes...and I just got a mohawk today...for fun.

[TTTSNB]

Nice everyone.

[playwithfire]

Thats still one of my favorite snares, so much ring and overtone.IMO ringy snares have to have a really even decay to sound really great. A nice PING reaches a peak volume quickly after the strike and then decays evenly, if the ring tremolos then it doesn't sound nice.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

I need to get a bio in soon..

Hey I'm Jon from Wales, UK

I play Drums and Guitar :) I played drums for 2 years up until about 2 years ago, I have been writing and recording a lot of songs, and now I feel the need to get back into drumming

I wanted to buy a kit again to record drums on my songs but I have been offered a place in a band so I can't wait to get jamming with them

I mainly listen to rock, with a bit of folk thrown in for good measure

My fav bands are Kyuss, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Tool and a couple of others

Peace out ;)

[Arucard]

Im gonna do that too. I never post in here, im an R+M freak. Im Joe, ive been playing drums for 3 years and enjoy playing stupid DW 5000 series hardware. Never anything else. Ever. Die Iron Cobra/Eliminator fan boys!

Anywho, my faveoruite drummers are Neil Peart, The Rev, Michael Van Dyne and Travis Smith.

There you go.

:)

[DxRocker]

Except on LTE :)

Thats still one of my favorite snares, so much ring and overtone.

totally... that one really rocks!

[sfauts]

I'm Scott
I'm 16 and i'm from Essex in England
I've only been playing 12 weeks (only had my kit for 7 weeks) and am onto grade 3 :D.
I listen to Def Leppard, The Darkness, Status Quo, Guns n Roses and various others.
I've got a 2005 pearl export EX fusion with a set of Zildjian ZBT's (getting ZXT ROCKS soon).
i regularly jam with my buddy who plays guitar and we did paranoid for our friends the other day. I'm soon to buy some remo emperor ebonys.

[fiojamdrummer]

Hi all! :wave:

My name is Fiona, I am a school teacher and I live in the Isle of Man. (Home of the TT!. I am 24 years old and enjoy listening to all types of music.

I played drums when I was at secondary school - played for about 2 years but then sort of just gave up... I think it was because I didn't really 'get it'.
Anyway, I took drumming up again in April this year. I bought myself a Yamaha DTXpress electronic drum kit, as noise and space were a big issue. I started playing for a local band who play with other 'learning' groups (it's called a music workshop and we tour round the Manx pubs, basically playing and enjoying ourselves).
I've recently ordered an acoustic kit as I found it really hard to do a gig with an electronic (sound comes from the PA which is far away - not the same response etc) so I'm waiting for my brand new Yamaha Stage Custom Noveau to arrive next week :p

I'm now playing in another band called the Rejected Barbie Dolls...having a great time!

I've just bought a guitar as I fancy learning a bit. I think it will as to my musical ability and have a positive impact on my drumming (I hope!)

Nice to find out who I'm chatting to here.

Erm…. Not sure what else to say now…..

Cheers guys!

[Arucard]

Except on LTE :)

Thats still one of my favorite snares, so much ring and overtone.

Umm... Its pretty good, i prefer his Live At Budokan one better. But thats because of the point raised earlier, that his bass drum totally owns his snare.

My faverouite snare of all time is probably David Garibaldi's on Tower Of Power's live record.

[Simple Man]

I got bored over the weekend and decided to come on MX for a few hours :)

[Double Bass Jim]

Nice to see ya around wayne.

[Simple Man]

Thanks, No avatar or User Title, Huh?

[Double Bass Jim]

Nope, goin stealthy :)

[TTTSNB]

[Simple Man]

Haha.

I'm not sure If I'll stick around, I hadda talk College Basketball with the gang.

Just thought I'd poke in and say hey.

[Double Bass Jim]

Stick around :)

Well, my name's Drew, i'm 15, i've been drumming for about 2 years, more like 1 and 4/5. I'm in a band called Mack, and I'm seriously thinkin bout quitting cause our singer sucks. I like alternative and indie and more underground stuff, not pop. Pop is *shivers*. Anyways, so happy Easter everyone (I know it's tomorrow)!

[Seafroggys]

Hey, pop can be good. Just listen to Kylie Minogue! :lol:

Actually, naw, late 80s early 90s pop was pretty good. Then techno and hip-hop started mixing with it, and you got what we got now. Erg.

[Fuzzy]

Meh, everyone go listen to some Kraftwerk :P

[Distant Echoes]

i still got at least 7 months till my birthday.

Luckily im setting up an ebay account tonight...and selling over $1000 worth of stuff within the next week.

[spiritII]

The VW Golf GTI advert with the Singing in the Rain remix and the body popping is the best advert I think I've ever seen. And to make this drum related, the remix has some pretty cool drumming, even if it is most likely a sequencer.

[plexiglass]

[Tim]

i wish i had a job. i need to look for a real one. i jstu do a bunch sidejobs. i need to look for a real one soon.

[Brendan]

well its not realy a "job" job, more of a volunteer thing where i choose not to get paid. needed to get service hours to graduate highschool and if i worked at this camp close to my area i could get them all in one week. i figured one clean sweep would be easy but the camp is a blower. i work with second grade boys and it i dont have the energy or patience to deal with them sometimes. its agravating to say the least.

Welcome to the forums all :-)

D&P is one of the more better organized/good forums on the board.

[Kronos]

My name is Dene, learnt bass guitar when I was in middle school (wayyyyy back), moved on to "proper" guitar after 7 years, played and practised really hard - then had a massive car crash, ended up on a life-support machine, got better after like 2 years but due to memory losses forgot most of what I'd learned. Guitar went away due to the depression of being rubbish again - decided to take up drums instead (which has now taken over my life....)
Married, 2 kids, lovely wife, boring job. Probably one of the oldest on here but don't let that put you off! :wave:

[Chris]

Welcome to the forums all :-)

D&P is one of the more better organized/good forums on the board.
Harsh, you know that the pit is :D

[GuerrillaTime]

Jon, 33, Married, bun in the oven, live in Longmont, Colorado, work for the Univ of Colorado in Boulder.

Played for many years as the-guitarist-who-had-a-set-of-drums (really old beat up Slingerlands with no reso's, and some pawn shop Zildjians+22" ride with a big V cut out of it--had it over 8 years and never even thought to change the heads). Sold them when I moved to a (really really) small apartment in Boulder. Got back into to drums more seriously about a year ago after buying a house with a basement, and I've been actually trying to play them this time. I currently have standard Mapex V-series (w/Zil K Custom, Zil-Avedis, Sab AAX-all upgraded from my original ZBT collection-ok, I still have some) that I finally got a decent sound out of (thanks drum tuning bible), and within the next few weeks I'm getting my fusion Sonor Force 3005 (!). Have a rock'ish-like trio, that I jam with once a week. Still love to play everyday, and haven't picked up a guitar in months (even on a recent camping trip), except to show my guitarist some riff or another on an acoustic.

I like this board for it's international memberships (UK, Europe, Austrailia, etc.), among other things. Lerned a lot. thanks everybody.

[Jezen]

I like the forum because the Moderators are helpful, and actually respond to things you ask them to do. For instance, many times I have requested a thread closed or moved.

Mods do it in no time.

Speaking of which, my band's second gig is coming up, and its a battle of the bands at a 21+ club! Three of us in the band are 18-19 (I'm 18) so this shall be so fun, being in a bar for the first time! (we have this special back room we have to stay in off stage though).

From what I hear, He's a good mod, but I've never really have got to know him.

Thanks buddy, I try my best.

Anytime :-).


Anyone going to any concerts anytime soon?

Dave Matthews came in Charlotte this week but I never ended up getting tickets seeing as it was 50$ a person :-/

Dave is coming to the Gorge for three days in August. I think they're sold out, but I'm still trying to find tickets. It sure would be nice to see Carter and the gang live.
