[Epiphender]

Yeah with all that gay closing in around you... ugh.


...assuming you meant BB.

[Double Bass Jim]

Oh man it's been ridiculous latley.

[Josiah]

WAhaha I could just see bringing a girl into his room... "Oh well.. uh.. sorry you can't walk anywhere or sit on the bed even.. yea, I like pink ya know. Sure soft furry boats feel nice on my feet esspeccially after I moisturize.."


Oh wait.. haha but a girl going in there will never happen.

[Double Bass Jim]

He'll bring rod over to inspect his pink walls :lol:

[Win A Rabbit]

Oh wait.. haha but a girl going in there will never happen.
and god said... "let there be couches"

:lol:

[billdrum]

Hmmm, there are some interesting "conversations" going on in here tonight!

[Epiphender]

Bill what is that in your avatar?

[Win A Rabbit]

about the pink paint, i had a whole room in "buzz lightyear green" with bright yellow carpet. (no, i wasn't 3 years old, it was half a year ago when i was in my old house) now imagine how tough it was to sleep with that paint everywhere. :lol:

[billdrum]

Bill what is that in your avatar?

It's an evil "smilie" with guns. No particular reason, just thought it was funny!

[poppinfresh]

hey bill how are those conaways? have any soundclips? I realized that the gretsch usa customs that i wanted listed for 10,000 so i don't think i will be going for those anytime soon.

[billdrum]

Conaways are great! Check out my entry in the play-along contest to hear them. Of course, its not the best recording, but it'll give you an idea. What's the matter, can't come up with 10 grand in a hurry?

[Win A Rabbit]

i love your snare drum, bill. conaway also, i'm guessing?

[billdrum]

Actually, no. It's an old Ludwig standard that I stripped down, had the shell powdercoated, and added all new hardware to.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y38/bmachold/0058.jpg

[Win A Rabbit]

it's amazing the sound you can get out of old standard snare drums, hey? i absolutely love my snare drum: a stock peavey snare that i bought for $20, it sounds exactly how i want my main snare drum to sound.

[Double Bass Jim]

Yea man those cheaper steel snares are GREAT, love the ring and overtones.

[billdrum]

Very versatile too!

[Win A Rabbit]

mine's very versatile. i was expecting to pay him $50-ish for it, but he's one of those kids that thinks piccolo snares tuned ridiculously high are the only good sounding snare drums, so he had this one laying around. he was going to give it to me, but i would have felt bad taking it for free, so i offered him $20.

it's very slow tonight on the forums. we should liven it up. does anyone have any idea (or plans) when the next drum-off is? i think i'm going to move my computer downstairs sometime soon for easier recording, but the rest of my family wouldn't want it down there for too long.

[billdrum]

I'd like to see something latin done for a drum-off, expand people's horizons a bit!

[rockindrummer]

**** school tomorrow. This sucks man, I gotta go to sleep now otherwise I will miss the first day of school. peace.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

I must go continue getting ready for school.

Damn, last night I had a dream that it had been flooded and part of it burnt down.
No such luck :(.

[Jezen]

How any person can live in such a mess is totally beyond me.

I can and I do, for the better part of most weeks.

[PowerStamp]

It's 2AM and I'm not at work! yay! lol

I am doing overnights this weekend (friday and saturday) but it should be a one time thing for me, at least only every few weeks so whatever.

Band practice tomorrow, hopefully getting some good recordings and finishing our 2 new songs for our upcoming shows.

[Jezen]

I didn't buy the mini china. I was outbid by 50p.

[Double Bass Jim]

Im sure you'll find somthin else :cool:

[Plan B.]

Frig! It's near 4am, and I gotta go to school tomorrow at 7:30.

Oh well, I think I'm going to go re-heat some rice.

[Pauly]

^ well atleast you got your priorities right.

Its nearly 4pm and I'll be at uni till 7:30. Its like we're living on opposite sides of the world... or maybe we just are.

[Plan B.]

:lol:

You must live in... backwards land or something. Do you wear hats on your feet and a shoe on your head?

[PowerStamp]

in the twilight zone!
Dun dun!!!

It's currently 3AM here. Still adjusting to non-overnight hours, been up since 2 (when I woke up on overnights) so I think I'm gonna pull a 24-hour'er, go to bed 'tomorrow night' at 2AM (Aka 23 hours from now) like I did when I closed all the time (which I'm doing now)
AHH

I'm very hungry though.
And the nearest 24 hour store is far down the street (10 minute drive at least) or quik trip (limited selection, slightly higher prices) or wait about 3 hours.

[Plan B.]

Haha, dude where do you work?!

By the way this rice is ****ing amazing!

[Pauly]

:lol:

You must live in... backwards land or something. Do you wear hats on your feet and a shoe on your head?

No... but we eat our hamburgers upside down. Does that count?

40min till my next class.. so much time to kill

[Plan B.]

My meal is done. It was very good. I think rice is my overall favourite food. I had some coke with it too, probably not a good idea since I'm trying to go to bed, and I think it upset my stomach a little too. It's just too good.

[Jezen]

Thats what I always did in Sydney. Don't go to bed before an exam, and eat rice all night long.

[Josiah]

Heh..

I see many students here have no relized the power of gradual studying. It's like practicing drums.. you get much better, much faster doign a lil every day. Rather then a big chunk at once every so often.

Of course.. I like sleep too. I also like to get A's and people go "Wow I was up all night, how did you get an A?" "Well I studied gradually in advance and got a good nights sleep."

Haha

[Plan B.]

Josiah you're so good at everything!

How do you do it, what's your secret?!

[Josiah]

Well.. not everything! HAHa I can't sing worth a lick, and if you asked me who the 32nd president was I'd have to turn to google!

But with most things it comes down to one word:

Application!


Long ago my parents taught me that I could do anything I set my mind too. And you know what? It's totally true.

Most people are held back by lazyness. Everyone has the potentional do great things. Many simply lack the motivation, or knowledge that this is true. Also many people have not had the best parents to teach them how to be positive.

This is one reason I love working with kids. It's truly amazing how a life can change when you show them that they can do so many things they thought they couldn't.


Why are there 22 yr old millionaires who started from scratch? Cause they applied themselves. Long ago people had nothing, they had to work for or make everything and anything they wantted.

Now everyone is lazy as all can be. Rare is it I find a student who is willing to put even 15 mins a day into dedicated practice. Yet it's no trouble to find someone who feels obligated to spend an hour trying to beat a level of a game, or can't miss their favorite TV show.

[Jezen]

You love kids Jo? I wouldn't have thought so.

I thought you would start arguments with them and call them gay.

[Double Bass Jim]

No thats me, J likes kids.

[Plan B.]

:lol:

[Plan B.]

Ok, it's 6:47am, I have to get up at 7:30, so that leaves me roughtly 43 minutes of sleep if I were to pass out right NOW.

[Tim]

screw it dude just stay up. youll be more tired if you do go to sleep

[Plan B.]

Haha my friend just said the exact same thing.

I might have a cool dream if I go to sleep though.

[Double Bass Jim]

Yea man you'll be DONE for if you lay down now trust me, get the coffee goin and start poundin it down.

[Plan B.]

:lol:

You and your coffee. Fine, I'm staying up, but I'm going to need an Iced Capuchino up in this bitch.

[Tim]

Yea man you'll be DONE for if you lay down now trust me, get the coffee goin and start poundin it down.

w0rd. start the caffeine intake RIGHT NOW.

[Josiah]

IF you can't get more then 4 hours, it's generally pretty useless to try and sleep.

[Tim]

i dont have to wake up til 11 and its 4 right now over here. so im good for like 15 more minutes. haha

[Double Bass Jim]

:lol:

You and your coffee. Fine, I'm staying up, but I'm going to need an Iced Capuchino up in this bitch.
I hope ya got a six pack at least, that calls for monster intake :cool:

[Drum Phil]

Well i officially look ridiculous. God**** suit! Had to wear it for a job interview. But hey, for $12 an hour or $33 an hour on a sunday i cant complain. Thats £7 and £18 for other brits (like me).

BB if you offer a fair price i might let you have my mini china. Its 12" and i dont really use it much

[lpmeca]

^^^
Suits suck so much, I feel your pain!

[VTDS_xx]

Wow. You guys stay up on this site often? I have school. Have to sleep :rolleyes: I'm in 2nd block right now. :smoke: ...>_> Jk.

[lpmeca]

Hahaha, I have the day off, so I'm clear! Anyway, MK, wheres my avatar!!! I don't like not having one and I cant find a good one that looks good small! Besides I'm 47 posts away to my 1,000th post! I want it before my 1,000th and firts :upset: Sorry if I sound demanding, I just really really want it :p

[Jezen]

Big update comin in the next hour guys.

Ok it's updated.

Worst last day of summer.... My parents are splitting up and we have to move.

On the bright side, new 18" Vault Crash!

[Voodoo Rabbit]

^ At least you got the crash! *Is crap at consoling people*

Josiah - I bet that in a few years time you turn into one of those motivational speakers...Like 'Jim Cunningham' from Donnie Darko (But hopefully without the Child Porn)...

[billdrum]

Sorry to hear it, TGP (the crash, not your parents). JK

Things will eventually work out for the best. After the initial uncertainty, it's usually better for everyone. I just hope that you have a good place for your gear at the new digs! I think you should treat yourself to a new pair of Aheads to make you feel better and properly break (in) that crash! :p

Good luck!

[Jezen]

Maaan TGP that is harsh. I remember when I was seven years old and my parents split. My mum said that I was never going to see my father again. That was such a horrible day.

[Jezen]

Dammit nobody is online because of school :upset:

[Voodoo Rabbit]

^ I was just about to complain about the same thing.

But, MSN is boring and crap.


----

Off to play drums, and get a drink.

[spike9908]

today has been on of the most boring of the summer. and whenever i think going to school tomorrow, i get all nervous.

[lpmeca]

School is boring, except the morning, band is fun :)

[Epiphender]

School was boring except in the mornings; band was fun. :)

Hopefully university will be less boring.

[RushHourSoul]

I work up early today to go the first day of college and I only had to stay for about 3 hours, during that time the head did a boring talk about year 13 and someone played a presentation or something, waste of a morning!

[Epiphender]

Hey I just finished wasting my morning in a similar manner!!

It was my first day and I was there for two hours. There was one guy that talked for half an hour that nobody could understand.

[lpmeca]

School was boring except in the mornings; band was fun. :)

Hopefully university will be less boring.
Grammer Nazi! :lol: anyway, I doubt the actual classes will be fun, but the party scene :thumb:

[Voodoo Rabbit]

I'm at the Drum Website, on the 'Order' page button, and am about to order some Sabian AAX Stage Hats. Should I do it or not?...

I either plan to get them now, or in the near future, so would I be as well to do it now?...

[lpmeca]

Dooooooooooooo it! AAX is an excelent choice!

[KWG]

ah man got my scedual today, i have the best spare ever!!!!!...double blovk on monday so 3 hour lunch....last block tuesday..second block weds..first block thursday and first block friday so i don't have to be there friday untill 10:30 and get out at 2 WOOHOO

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Well, It's done now....

I'm writing the Cheque as I type!...

[Epiphender]

Grammer Nazi! :lol: anyway, I doubt the actual classes will be fun, but the party scene :thumb:

:lol: I was just going to say what you said, since I was in the same situation, and band was fun, but I just couldn't do it. For some reason I usually use proper English on forums.

[lpmeca]

Hahaha, writing and typing at the same time!

And I feel stupid now Epi! :upset:

[Drum Phil]

Its boring not having to go to college when everyone else does. Oh well im goin to hopefully try some paistes tomorrow (assuming i can find the shop in the middle of nowhere)

[Voodoo Rabbit]

^ Good for you Epiphender. Atleast there are some people still speaking properly, what with today's lingual skills abound.

And lpmeca - Yes, I can muti-task!...

[lpmeca]

Its and L, Lpmeca, not Ip thats somthing I'm going have to enforce!

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Sorry, My age must be showing...

[lpmeca]

Nah, people have been confused over it a lot lately, your not that old*cough*lying*cough

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Dude, That was uncalled for!...

*Or I could go all Nasty-Scottish-Person and say

"Och, Ya wee cunt. Just yoo wait till I geet ma hands on ya. Bastar't"

But I don't talk like that...Unless I'm taking the piss...

How do you think I feel :( hahaha


Aw!, Sorry man...

[spike9908]

Jim goes as far as capitalizing letters. You know, that shift key is just so far away, I dont think I can reach it. Just typing this, I'm getting confused over which shift I'm suppost to use.

oh well, at least i type full words and sentences, and use puncuation(sp). non of this short hand.

[Double Bass Jim]

Aw!, Sorry man...
Haha na it's cool, my spelling could be a little better though. At least I make an attempt :lol:

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Better than nothing...

[spike9908]

Haha na it's cool, my spelling could be a little better though. At least I make an attempt :lol:

yeah, one thing i cant stand is when people come in here and ask like "dos any1 no where i can get a 4 cheap. pleaz thanx"

its harder to read (and type) than actual words.

[TheClash6412]

exactly

[billdrum]

Unfortunately, that's becoming the modern language. One day, everyone will write like that, the way we're going. Imagine newspaper and magazine articles written like that!

[Epiphender]

We should just all switch to Newspeak. Since the dictionary would get smaller every year, all the internet folk could probably handle it.

[Drum Phil]

I hate all this l337 5p33k crap. And i hate people who type in shorthand. And i hate people who use dyslexia as an excuse for typing like a retard. I mean come on, im dyslexic and i can string a sentence together. Sure i make the occasional spelling mistake but at least i make sense. Except sometimes i type like i talk. So i'll just add yorkshire slang into my typing.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

[styler]

well...this was a fun day..and i mean that in the most sarcastic way possible..i wokeup at 6..left for the bus stop to go to school 10 minutes early to check my schedule..get on the shuttle bus..go to transfer..i get on the east bus instead of west..takes me 45 minutes the wrong way before i notice...i get off change to go back to my other transfer..do it..another 45 minutes..make the transfer...get stuck on a bus with 65 people (far beyond regulation) then get to school..im there for ten minutes...okay..im abit pissed off that i did all that for ten minutes of handing out paper and the circle of friends introductions...so i leave..go to wait for my bus...i see another bus but its heading for another stop..i go to check it out to see if it was mine..it wasnt..and while i was checking my bus came and went...thats another hour wait...okay so i wait it up...i lose track of time and go to get a drink...i miss it again...another hour..and its my last chance before ths bus stops coming to the stops near the school..so i make it, and i get going..hour bus ride...so...for a ten minute class on meeting my teacher..i spent a full day of school on a bus when i could be at home sleeping or drumming...on that topic im thinkin of quitting my band..

[RushHourSoul]

haha unlucky. Glad I don't get the bus. I get lifts off my friends who have all started driving :cool:

[Win A Rabbit]

well it's confirmed: my english class is probably one of the most retarded classes in history. there was a big argument today on whether "a tree growing naturally in a forest" is a form of technology. and to make it worse, the teacher wrote the definition of technology that she wanted us to use: "a tool designed by and used to help man" so that went on for 10 minutes until i said "first, a tree is not designed by man. second, trees are not used to help man." at which point, everyone paused for a while, and then simultaneously went "aaaaaahhhhhh" except for one girl who said that god designed trees. i looked at her, was about to say something, but before i could open my mouth everyone laughed at her.

so that's my little story for the day.

oh, and i learned that there is a limit of no more than 3 rodent hairs per 100 grams of chocolate, and no more than 60 insect fragments per 25 grams of coffee. yum...

[RushHourSoul]

Technically you could say trees help man, since they give out oxygen or something like that? And take in carbon dioxide I think.. But yeah...

*ignore me*

[Epiphender]

Whoa, TGP, I'm like...listening to TGP RIGHT NOW.




Ok that's not that interesting or amazing really.

[Win A Rabbit]

lickety, we don't use trees though. we use the oxygen, but we don't use a tree. the kind of examples she wanted were things like "pockets, shoes, chalkboards..."

[RushHourSoul]

Whats paper made out of...

Or furniture

:)

[Win A Rabbit]

we use wood on the trees (which can be argued) but the fact still remains: we did not design trees to better ourselves.

now saying "manufaturing of trees is technology" is correct, but "trees are technology" is completely idiotic.

[poppinfresh]

what else is wrong with america that i can rant about so far i have a huge paragraph on the bush adminitration. What else? i was oging to do economy but i ma not infomed ienoguh to do so, maybe someone can help me.

[Win A Rabbit]

propaganda/scare tactics are always good. they've got me through a few essays i wasn't prepared for. :lol:

edit: how long can everyone hold their breath for? my longest today was 52 seconds. :thumb: i spent most of my 80 minute spare seeing how long i could hold my breath, it was quite fun.

[poppinfresh]

can you elaborate on that i need examples. Im not going to copy what you say im not looking for an easy way out i just need to learn so i cna anger myself enough to get a whole paragraph done.

[Win A Rabbit]

can you elaborate on that i need examples. Im not going to copy what you say im not looking for an easy way out i just need to learn so i cna anger myself enough to get a whole paragraph done.
well the movie farenheit 911 was pretty much one big propaganda commercial against george bush/american media's propaganda. things like giving us reasons of "wmd's" so that we could invade afghanistan, and slowly move to iraq with no explanation, and no logical reason (referring to their original plans of invasion) why even just one american soldier should be killing innocent citizens of iraq, and why we can't pull out now, etc.

[poppinfresh]

thanks that should get me somewhere

i also got to how a lot of the news is filtered out so that should get me done.

[Epiphender]

i spent most of my 80 minute spare seeing how long i could hold my breath, it was quite fun.
Fun because the parts of your brain that produce negative feelings probably died in the process. :thumb:



I wish it were that easy. :upset:

Whoa, TGP, I'm like...listening to TGP RIGHT NOW.




Ok that's not that interesting or amazing really.


Oh

quick i need an example of something that the news has hidden from us that we have found out about later or not either one, i can bullcrap to make it seem real.

lol your so funni lololol

lol your so lucky ive been like this all my life lololol

yea. Pretty good one for 3 days to. Next time I let some skruff start growing ill take some pics for yall.

[poppinfresh]

that technological advances could solve?

Problems with the levees and pump systems in New Orleans?

oh good our money isn't very well managed. Thank you bill.

You're welcome. BTW, when's your avatar going to match your subtitle or (vice versa)?

[poppinfresh]

oh did they take away social security or are they going to or is this not a n issue anymore

[billdrum]

They're still haggling over what they're going to do. Bush came up with a plan and the democrats shot it down at one point.

[Loyton]

He was probably saying "See what terrorism does? We needa blow the hel outta' al quida before they they flood us again!"

you could talk about how everyone owns a gun

and by gun i mean atomatic assult rifle

[Seafroggys]

Then he'll institude martial law, disband the senate, and......

**** i've seen B5 too much.

[Loyton]

Bush recently was told the flooded area was almost the exact same size as all of great britain. Shortly after he was quoted as saying "Then let them deal with it!"

[TheClash6412]

lol he's such an idiot

[Loyton]

haha that was a joke by the way. Might av well been true.

[poppinfresh]

i like how bush has that little grin everytime he uses a big word. Like when started using the words nucular perliferations.

[Win A Rabbit]

i'm real bored, so i guess i'll tell everyone here another story of mine today.

well one of my lady friends (not my girlfriend) was at my house the other day, watching tv on my bed (i was making some kd) so anyways, we eventually go to her house and everything, then i come home that night and find her "lady pills" next to my bed. being the nice friend i am, i kept them in my pocket all the next day because i thought i'd be seeing her, but i didn't. so i brought them to school today. she came at lunch and i slipped them to her privately, so no questions were needed from anyone else. she gave me a big hug and said i saved her because she has no money to buy new pills right now :lol: so that made me feel good.

any "lady pill" stories for any of you?

[Plan B.]

Period pills?

[Massik Kretal]

When is there gonna be a drum solo contest?? I want one now!!

[rockindrummer]

well that is just kinda weird sic.

And no I don't have any lady pill stories.

right next to opras pubic hair

I did not need to know that.... as a matter of fact I don't think anyone did.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

Period pills?
I think he means birth control pills

[poppinfresh]

i hope i win the next drum solo contest. that way i can make benny grebs boobs full sized.

[Massik Kretal]

I don't get how that works. Like how can you be sure that the pills worked. It seems risky to me.



Yeah make em double D.

[billdrum]

i hope i win the next drum solo contest. that way i can make benny grebs boobs full sized.

Yeah, I need a bigger avatar too. Bring it on!

[Win A Rabbit]

yea i meant birth control pills, all the girls here have them because "it helps their complexion"

they're probably all just skanks :lol:

Not that I would win anyway, but it would be fun.

You can get a free recording program from the internet. Ask DBJ for a link to Audacity. Other than that, all you need is a mic. And you can pick a cheep one up at a computer store for like ten dollars.

[Massik Kretal]

I don't see the point of you guys trying. We all know I'd win. :lol:

Hmm perhaps I will try that. Now all I need is ten dollars....
Haha, the sad thing is that I'm so poor and cheap right now I really wouldn't buy a microphone even for that price.

Meh, I probably shouldn't bother anyway. I'd just shame myself

Stop being so down...

Wheres your self esteem?

All I know is that if you play as good as you look then you'd be the next Peart.

lets have a vote..everyone say something bad about school..or if you like it..say something good...and then the people that voted on the "school sucks" side will get a pat on the back..and the people that say its good...get 50 slaps with a wet noodle..everybody think that sounds fair? nice way to solve boredom as well

Hmm..I don't like school. I hate waking up early and I find all the classes dreadfully boring. The only good thing about it is seeing friends everyday. And band I suppose. Its the only class I actually like.

[Win A Rabbit]

i dislike the immense lack of sleep i get, and my classes are generally designed for complete retards. i'm actually quite smart, but i never cared enough to try in school, so now i have to sit through a grade 12 english class where the teacher is explaining how to break a sentence into quotation marks for 80 minutes. (yes, simple sentences like "Hello," said Mr. Johnson, "how are you?" )

but i do see my friends almost all day, and i have an 80 minute spare with one of my bandmates. plus it's a great way to meet new people and such.

overall, i'd say that disliking school wins by 60/40 for me.

[Double Bass Jim]

Good rest is the key, lack of sleep will kill ya in the end.

[PowerStamp]

recording didn't go so well lol
The D.I. from the bass was messed up, so we're gonna mic him next time, and gonna change which mic used on the guitar cause that one sucks lol

They came out ok with a bit of tweaking. The bass is pretty low since we had to turn it down a lot to avoid the jacked up sound it made lol

We WILL be re-recording on tuesday next week, starting with an 11AM practice until roughly 5PM when we will be going to the Madball/Walls of Jericho show lol

http://www.myspace.com/lufthansaheist

"Hold it Down" and "Punchout" are new versions, the other two are live.
(The sound snippet from the beginning of Hold it Down is from Goodfellas, Pesci)

So those will all remain as-is for now until next week. Hold it Down is a brand new song, as is another untitled song (called "the pretty song") that came out weird on these recordings.


:D
*edit* If you read this and they're not up yet, they will be soon, give it time lol

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Today has been highly depressing and boring.

Damn...

[GhostGrooveMike]

I have to go to school tommorrow dam

[Juicy_Forlorn]

Me too :(
But at least I won't have to cook for hungry farmers anymore if I am at school

[Voodoo Rabbit]

I just ate something, it was SO sweet that I now feel sick...

Well, You know what they say - 'A minute on the lips, a lifetime on the hips'...

[Drum Phil]

I dont have to go to school/college/work/anything coz im a bum. I just sit around drumming

[Jezen]

I. Hate. School.


On a happier note, I started repairing the damage on the 13" shell and I also started varnishing the inside of the 12" shell.

[spike9908]

started school today. its was okay, but wont be the best year ever, thats for sure. i have a paragraph due tomorrow for science, but she never told us what we were supposed to write about. i hope that is the only major thing i have due, cause i cant remember jack right now.

and i get to start work tomorrow. yay.

EDIT: aslo, every like, 3rd word out of my english teachers mouth was "super". "were gonna use these a super lot for a little. then not a super lot, then a super lot again." and half of my history class was the teacher talking about a trip he took to the carabean(sp) and he got an empty cuban cigar box that he put sand and stuff in, and it got distroyed by customs. it was completely un-related to anything we were doing. and he likes to speek in the third person a lot.

[Ethan.]

I started a few weeks ago. This year sucks. I'm a sophmore in high school.

[Double Bass Jim]

and i get to start work tomorrow. yay.
Remember to put $50 aside for the new peart DVD ;)

[spike9908]

[Seafroggys]

Hah, I start school the 26th. Of course its a public college, but it still kicks assage.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

I start school tomorrow :(

I can't wait till I start my job though! I'm teaching drum lessons out of my house this year now that I have 2 sets. It shall be great fun. Its so awesome that I am getting money for teaching people something I love. :)

[Drazinus]

I start school tomorrow, Seniors get to start a day late, so I was IMing anyone on AIM today with an "at school" away message :lol:

Should be a good year, all the teachers in the CT department quit, meaning they had to get all new ones, which is good because for the last two years I hadn't learned jack anyway, so this year is bound to be atleast as good as the last two :D

[-Draz-]

[RushHourSoul]

Started first lessons today.. Didn't have any till about 11 so we went down the beach till then, then after the lesson had nothing else... I love the easy college life :lol:

[Futuro]

[Drum Phil]

[Jezen]

A client at school turned 18 recently. I'm thinking, should I buy suspension tom mounts or a .22 rifle?

[Drum Phil]

Mounts

[Double Bass Jim]

Rifle :cool:

.22's a great target gun

[Drum Phil]

Rifle :cool:

.22's a great target gun

:eek: JIM! He's not old enough to own a rifle :p Shame on you

Im sure he'll be supervised, i've seen kids at the range with rifles all the time with their parents.

[Jezen]

My mum absolutely hates guns. I just thought it would be a good investment seeing how the Chinese are planning to take over the planet.

[Drum Phil]

Not sure about weapon laws over here. I know they're trying to ban ALL air weapons though

i have been getting into metal recently, i like alot more than i thought i would. im not a huge fan of blast beats but most metal tends to tickle my pickle nowadays.

[stabbinspaghetti]

hehe metal, hehe

[Juicy_Forlorn]

I like metal:)
But I dislike blast beats

[stabbinspaghetti]

i dislike metal...id say the closest thing to metal i like is le tigre, and they arent metal

[Futuro]

I like metal
But I dislike blast beats yeah it seems overused to me. TTTSNB has given me some great advice to get my feet more accurate and speedy. And once i started playing to the music i started really enjoying it. i have been playing along to lamb of god for the most part (i need more cds)

[poppinfresh]

listen to this european stuff like finntroll and norther its way hecka better.


I got some 13 in aquarian double thins, coated for my tom. 15****ing dollars!!!! and i got steve gadd tickets, the clinic will be held down the street from my house and there will be a zildjian prototype tour before it.

[stabbinspaghetti]

lucky you, nothing comes around like that in my parts, oh well, i dont mind, coffee houses for me

[styler]

woohoo coffee...woohoo zildjian..woohoo another boring day of school...how is everybody?who missed me?and ontop of that..who even remembers me heh

[Brendan]

Hey guys, I have an idea. It may have been been sugested before or even created once, but I think we should have an MXDP YSI thread.

Not all good music has amazing drums and I want to see what everyone listens too.

What do you think?

[styler]

someone suggested that a few pages back...like 30 i think...i think dbj is looking into it..he might of shot it down tho..dunno

[Massik Kretal]

SCHOOLS TOMMOROW!....fuk....

[skadrummer411]

So today at lunch we were talking about music and some of my friends and I were talking about ska bands and stuff. So then some other kids aer all "Ska sucks" so thats where the argument started. So we were telling them about some good ska bands that would change they way they think about ska (mainly Streetlight Manifesto) and we were also tlking about which streetlights' drummer (best ska drummer ever). So then they were talking about hey slipknots joey jordinson is the craziest awesomest drummer ever. So the argument went on like that for a while. So to give a point to my long post, is anybody else tired of ignorant poeple who say there music is the best and say that your music sucks? and to mkae sure nobody thinks i'm a hypocrit, I did not say that metal sucked or anything like that, the worst I said was that joey is a little overrated.

[Futuro]

DAMMMIT!!!!!!!!!!! no more YSI threads!!!! were will i get all my free music from nowadays? :( this sucks :upset:

[Brendan]

^^ Type in paragraphs next time, that way the person whos reading it feels like they are getting some where.


Don't even bother with arguements like that. That is like the story of every single stereo typical greasy teenage music freak in America and more devloped parts of the world.

You have to take a Jewish appraoch to these things and just realize not everyone is going to like your opinions so stop trying to make people like them and keep to yourself. Just laugh at them cause their music sucks to you and leave them alone unless they instigate.


Ska is good stuff though, its good to see atleast one other person on mxdp likes it. You ever heard of the Skoidats? They have a pretty good drummer for a ska band too.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

SCHOOLS TOMMOROW!....fuk....
Same here:(
No more staying up ridiculously late talking to people and browsing mx for me.

[styler]

< quit my band

[Juicy_Forlorn]

Why did you quit?

[Massik Kretal]

I can still stay up late....just have to make sure my parents dunno.

[styler]

many reasons..want me to go through them all?lol

[Juicy_Forlorn]

If you want. But if you're lazy you don't have to haha

[Double Bass Jim]

someone suggested that a few pages back...like 30 i think...i think dbj is looking into it..he might of shot it down tho..dunno
Yea it's a no go, we've already had complaints about the other YSI threads. You can get into serious trouble with those.

[billdrum]

Surely we've got some paintballers here! I just got my notice of our Fall "war" this October-two teams of 35-40 people each, daylong event with 5 different war games on 90 wooded acres (and we use all of it!). We do this every Spring and Fall.

[styler]

meh, my boredness outdoes my laziness...

for one..my bassist is as a$$..its his way or the high way..he constantly wants to write songs when we suck at all our old ones...our vocalist cant sing, our guitar player is amazing, hes the only person i can stand.

our vocalist is a ferrety type of person...he constantly has to be looking through my stuff..moving something..playing with something....band is constantly f-ing around on my drums when i tell them not too..they constantly tell me how to drum to songs i made from scratch..they constantly start playing bass or guitar whenever i try to talk..or drums if im not constantly on them, and when they do hear me they completely blow it off, vocalist annoys me, bassist is too outgoing and has that "im better than you" type of thing going on..and i can live with the guitarist, hes a good guy

[billdrum]

Wow, who ever heard of a band in which the guitarist is the good guy!

[styler]

that sounds insane bill, imagine doing that drunk heh...dangerous...but if youve got good drunks that would be fun

how would you guys use all that space?what if theres one person left on each team..and there 40 some odd acres apart..lol

[-TheGlassPrison-]

We have big games with about 400 people.. 200 people per team ;)

[Jomofo]

So anyone hear The Suffering by Coheed and Cambria? The songs so poppy...it's gets really stuck in my head. From the sounds of it it's Claudio talking about Newo Ikkin, but I'm not one hundred percent on that one.

Anyone care to discuss?

[styler]

not me before now, lol guitarists are usually either good guys and they suck, or insane and completely wanks..i got the better of both..and then i get boned with a ***-bass and a crap ferret vocalist

[Jomofo]

Haha, sounds like it's good to be rid of your band then.

[styler]

i would discuss..but im not hardcore into music right now...just drumming...you know..just like..the drum tracks...videos..technique and stuff..etc etc...my band made it so i lost all my technique speed and control etc

[styler]

the guitarist is making me discuss why i wanna leave..god the awkwardness, why did they have to get the guy i can stand to talk to me about this..why cant it be the ferret..or the *** even...i could stand telling THEM off...

[billdrum]

We have big games with about 400 people.. 200 people per team ;)

Wow, that's alot of people. How much land do you use?

[billdrum]

We use the whole space for the big capture the flag game and different sections of it for other battles.

[Jomofo]

Band drama is the terrible. Our bass player recently came back to our band begging for a position because the band he left us for broke up. It would have been easier if he didn't go out burning bridges left and right, but oh well. He apologized and stuff, so it's good now.

Anyway, just tell him that the band is much to hard to practice with, and it's not worth all the stress because there is no real pay off.

[styler]

ahh that makes sense, capture the flag would be fun in a big wooded area..is it like a public wooded area or would there be wildlife...like animals?

[billdrum]

ahh that makes sense, capture the flag would be fun in a big wooded area..is it like a public wooded area or would there be wildlife...like animals?

It's private property with a small lake and a cabin. You can run across deer there and small creatures. I usually go out the night before and stay over, beer, cookout, etc. It's alot of fun.

[styler]

meh its not like i dont enjoy playing with them we do actually play, its the abuse i suppose, a drummer can only take so much :P and i wanna keep my technique, so i cant compromise it for a high school band.

i cant even remember the last time i went camping (never been) or had a cookout (last summer) or been drunk in any way...(a long long time ago..)

[Futuro]

Yea it's a no go, we've already had complaints about the other YSI threads. You can get into serious trouble with those. What other YSI threads :angry: they all got closed.....im totally gonna go emo someday...

I've been without a band for going on 9 months now, longest stretch in years. I'm picky about who I play with and it's really hard sometimes finding the right mix of personalities and musicianship. I'm working with a St. Louis area singer/songwriter on putting something together, but we haven't found the right guitarist yet.

[styler]

hope that works out bill, *uses all mind power to force good guitarist to bill*

[billdrum]

Me too! We (the singer, bass player and I) jammed last weekend with a really good player (and nice guy too). It went really well and he picked up the originals quickly. I'm just not sure if he's able to make the commitment. It's still up in the air.

Thanks for the advice man. I will type in paragraphs next time. And I should know better to even argue with those people about music and stuff, you never get anywhere.

I never have heard of the skoidats, I'll have to look them up. If you've never heard of streetlight you have to hear them, there drummer is awesome. Another band that I started to get into more is Big D and the Kids Table, I like their style, plus they remind me of one of our local ska bands.

[styler]

that sounds like a sweet deal bill, i cant stand people who cant commit to anything, doesnt even have to be the band, just anything in general, if i cant trust them outside the band i cant trust them in it..lol

[Futuro]

i am the same way, i told my freind i was going to help him work on the chasis of his car saturday at 10 in the morning.

im there and its 10:00 he isnt there. So i waited alittle longer by 10:20 i was pissed (short temper) i called him up and said "where are you"? he said, "at my house". i said "well why the *fill in with four letter word* did you tell me to be here, when your an *azzhole* and dont have the commonm courtesy to call, you know what man? you are a piece of *fill in with a four letter word*" then i hung up on him.

stuff like that will really piss me off...

[Jomofo]

^I agree. I have a small amount of patience for things like that. If you say you're going to do something at some time, do it, and at the time you said.. It happens with my friends alot, and it bugs me.

[poppinfresh]

faith=1 im the same way. I hate it when people do that and it pisses me off because i always try to get everywhere on time when i tell poeple im going to meet them somewhere but tehy are never the same.


billdrum- what kind of stuff are oyu playing with the band?
