Drum Stronghold

[styler]

im like that with everything except for school..but thats because im bad with buses

<i missed another set of buses today>

[Jomofo]

^haha, yeah. The bus sucks.

[billdrum]

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

The stuff he writes is very Eagles/Poco influenced, kind of light rock I guess. He's got about 12 originals that we've learned and more on the way. He's pretty serious, has an agent in Nashville pushing his songs with major artists. We're looking to play in the Missouri/Illinois/Iowa areas adding some covers in to fill out the sets.

[Jomofo]

I like the Eagles. Hotel California (but of course) is one of my all time favourites.

[Win A Rabbit]

well i just bought a keyboard for $50, i was amazed to find a decent one for under $100 at a pawn shop. this one has more than i even wanted for a keyboard. now i can start practicing piano without waiting for everyone else to leave the house and cutting into my drumming time. now i can plug in at night, turn the volume down (or even use earphones) and it's got like 50 drum beats to play along with.

and my friend bought some drums too, which is cool.

[Jomofo]

I want to learn piano really bad. It's such a useful instrument to know. I was considering picking up a keyboard at a pawn shop as well, but I couldn't find anything decent.

[styler]

bill, whats poco?im curious cuz where i live is called poco
lol

short for port coquitlam for anybody whos curious

[billdrum]

Poco was around in the 70's mostly I think. One or two members of the Eagles came out of that band. They had a couple of hits, but were largely under the radar.

[Plan B.]

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.


Wooo, yeah! It ranks up there with drumming, when I am actually able to go though.

I missed my fields scenario this year. I was at the lsat two, they're so halairous and fun.

I would consider myself more of a tournament player though.

[Massik Kretal]

Hey guys...

Someone got banned becuase there friend is an idiot and he cant make a new name becuase it gets messed up. He wants his old name Trilobite unbanned and his name D41LYBR34Dm4n removed. He didnt do anything bad and I think that he should be unbanned not that I know much about him.

Jim's not here so can someone help this guy out??

[Plan B.]

I think he posted gay hardcore porn actually.

[billdrum]

Cool Plan B. I knew we had to have some more P-ballers here. Ever do the British March Of Death?

MK, why did this guy get banned?

[Massik Kretal]

He said "i got banned because my friend logged on and posted lemon party."

[Plan B.]

If you mean "Civil War", then yes!

You haven't played paintball until you've had a Civil War.

[billdrum]

Two teams face off 100 feet apart, each person gets one paintball in their gun. At the signal, everyone fires their one paintball. You can turn or duck, but you can't move from your position. Anyone hit is out. Move 25 feet closer, same process. Then 25 feet closer, repeat, etc. until one team is eliminated. Pretty scary when you get close in! That's our British March Of Death.

[Plan B.]

Haha yeah!

We only do it with teams of like 10 each though.

[rockindrummer]

.
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


Dude that's like the same thing with my band. Our singer/ guitarist is a douche and never wants to jam. He can't sit still and always want to play drums. And instead of telling us that he is unhappy with the band, which i'm sure of, he just says ya sure fine and agrees with us but he doesn't do it all to convincingly.
My bassist is cool and I always hang out with him so he's cool and nothings wrong wit him.
My other guitarist is a cool guy too. At times he can be annoying cause he doesn't agree with you when you get into an argument and we both know he is wrong. He just digs a deeper hole and then when he has been proved wrong he just goes eh w/e who knows, or somthing along those lines. I don't really mind that but the one thing that pisses me off so much is that I say not to play my drums and he goes I know I know I won't, then goes into my room and starts playing. Like wtf dude I just said not too and then he tries to make up some reason why it doesn't matter if he plays but that never works to well. The only thing bad about him is that he doesn't respect my stuff, most of the time that is. Which is very annoying. I don't really have a problem with him though because we have been friends for a really long time and we have started to jam, well when we do, at the bassist house who got a really crappy set.

So how was everyones day? Mine was boring as hell, we didn't do anything in anyclass and tomorrow is going to be the same thing.

[Jomofo]

My day was pretty good. My schedule is as follows:
Drama, Film Studies, Biology, English.
It's pretty easy. Bio is kinda tough though...only because the teachers a mess. She just doesn't seem to know her stuff very well...and we kinda got thrown into the material too quickly. Probably won't be so bad as we get further into the year though.

[rockindrummer]

^ Cool, my schedual for tomorrow is french, science, band, socials in some order close to that.

[Double Bass Jim]

Film Studies that sounds interesting.

I know if I woulda went to college it woulda been for film FOR sure.

[Jomofo]

I wish I could have fit band in. I'm grade eleven right now, and the way they schedule band at my school is absolutely retarded. I won't even attempt to explain it.

Film studies is pretty intersting, Jim. The same guy that teaches my drama class teaches that class. It's basically the study of means of expressing ideas through film (obviously), including picture and sound. So far it's pretty cool; can't complain about a class where I get to watch movies! We're watching Raiders of the Lost Arc right now. :thumb:

[rockindrummer]

Yo jimmy, do you know how the banners got up at the top of threads? They are really annoying, you think you could somehow get em down?

[Jomofo]

Hey, just for fun, and because I'm bored, tell me some stuff about yourself, rockindrummer.
What music do you play? How long have you been drumming?

[Double Bass Jim]

He said "i got banned because my friend logged on and posted lemon party."
Haha oldest trick in the book.

[rockindrummer]

well, my band plays modern rock I guess it would be. We are starting to play some stuff like apc, that type of genre. I've been drumming for just under 3 years now, I guess it would be. I havn't really taken it as seriously as I should have though so I am pretty pissed about that.

Anyway I gotta go, damn school tomorrow :angry: Talk to ya guys later.

[styler]

its official, im out of the band.

there picking up there amp pedals cords etc tomorow after my drum lesson..bassist got really mad at put the guitarist in a bad mood...i jus deleted all three band members off my msn..theyll never talk to me again anyway..oh well..blood's thicker than water right? ill finally get my technique back finally...woot!

[Jomofo]

Goodnight RD.

It's never really fun to leave on bitter terms, styler, but if that's how it goes, then that's how it goes. I'd say try to keep in touch with the guitar player if hes a good guy. Your band doesn't HAVE to sacrifice your technique. It's always fun and good for your drumming to have some people to jam with.

[styler]

yeah i completely agree, but they made me do things i cant do clean or properly, so i got into the habit of playing like that...either way, night mx, i got school in the morning

[Jomofo]

I'm might as well be off to bed, too. 'Night.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Well, last night must have been quite a sight;

I was sitting in a room, doing something on a computer, when Someone came in and then went away again. I, now being distracted, looked up to the ceiling and saw 5 HUGE scary bugs. I procedded to jump up and grab a towel to squish them with. This method proved ineffective, as when I was hitting them, they were just being stunned and lying, as if dead, on the floor. Then if I went back to prod them, thould would get up and resume their scaryness.
Then I got a broom that I had used during one of the bands' shows and rounded two of the out of the door.
I had no other option left, than to kill the remainding three, and then went to bed.
----
This morning I came back into the room, and saw another one flying around everywhere.

I looked so silly, crouched in a corner fighting off these insects with a broom....

[Double Bass Jim]

Damn... I hate bugs.

[Win A Rabbit]

man, i was planning on getting a good ngiht's sleep tonight. right after i posted here, i went to do my homework in bed, then go make my lunch for tomorrow and fall asleep at 10 at the latest. i fell asleep for 2 hours after doing 3 questions, and now i can't get to sleep. don't you hate when that happens? well i guess i'll go make my lunch now, then try to go to sleep. i think i'm going to ask my mom for sleeping pills tomorrow, because i don't think i can make it through a whole school year like this without failing. :lol:

[Drum Phil]

jesus christ i forgot 6:45AM actually existed! *yawns*

[Seafroggys]

but they made me do things i cant do clean or properly

You sound like a prostitute talking about his/her pimp

[Tim]

so i went to the hidden in plain view concert tonite and didnt have to pay a cent for anything. i snuck in when the person left the door for some water so i got to see the whole show and i got a free shirt becuase i know someone that was selling them. good times man. it was a good free show. ha.

[Double Bass Jim]

Haha nice can't beat anything free! :cool:

[Chris]

I just thought that i would say that i had my first pratice with my new band last nite. I learnt 7 songs in 3 hours :D, and hopefully we will be playing gigs in a month.

[PowerStamp]

I've been re-uploading and editing songs for the past 4 hours lol

I messed with the bass EQ on the actual tape recorder and got the bass to come out sounding much better than it did before, same for guitar.
Currently trying to cut down on some fuzzy noise on our show-ender song lol

http://www.myspace.com/lufthansaheist

"Hold it Down" and "No Donnie" (Evergreen Terrace cover, which the band themselves enjoyed! lol) are "remastered" lol, currently re-mastering Punchout.
*Edit, and I think I'm just about done with it, JUST ABOUT lol*

[Chris]

On Hold On, put the guitar further up the mix, it will sound better i think.

[PowerStamp]

really? Hm. I'll try that, I haven't really re-uploaded that song yet, just did some editing to it. I think you're right though, because about halfway you hear the guitar get suddenly a bit louder, I bumped it up a bit and it does sound a bit better.

:D

[Voodoo Rabbit]

I'm not too* sure but I think a a guy tried to ask me out today. It was really noisy, so I'm not all that sure what he said. At first it sounded like 'Will you be the drummer in my band?'. He asked again, but I still didn't hear him, and the last word didn't sound like 'band', more like 'girlfriend'. Then he said ' It dosn't matter, I'll ask you at lunch'.

This guy is notorious for asking girls out a lot. So I spent my lunch-time hiding from him. However, I think I may be blowing this out of proportion.

Ugh, what possesed him to go and do that?

Sounds like one of my friends who is a man-hore. He will ask a girl out, and then dosnt like it as they follow him around and he has no space.

[Jezen]

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.

I started one ages ago but it was closed because Damo didn't agree with piracy, which is completely fair and understandable.

[Drum Phil]

Sounds like one of my friends who is a man-hore. He will ask a girl out, and then dosnt like it as they follow him around and he has no space.

"man-hores" are just ***** *** little boys who're insecure about themselves and i hate them :)

[Futuro]

ARghhh!!! im getting pissed at my coordination. i thought of this poly that includes left foot switching between 7/8 5/8 4/8 but i cant solo over it yet. i will hopefully get it by tonight so you dudes can hear it.

[Plan B.]

Can't solo over it yet?!

Wow, you REALLY suck!

[Double Bass Jim]

Haha ahh that sucks, now ya gotta figure out a way to get out of it!

[Futuro]

Can't solo over it yet?!

Wow, you REALLY suck! yeah i kknow, the bars of the left foot are actually set up so i repeat every thing. two bars of 7, two bars of 5, two bars of 4, which makes a HUGE bar of 4/4 (kinda) 7+7+5+5+4+4 = 32/4.

after that im trying to do a solo over it in different times and feels, im getting caught in one of the grooves i made to go over it between the solos.

[Massik Kretal]

Ugh I hate school.

Anyone from NY go to Brookyln Tech by any chance?

[Win A Rabbit]

man, i was making some sandwiches last night for my lunch, and i dropped the knife by accident when i went to open the fridge... the tip of the knife caught my foot just to the side of my "ring" toe. there was a little bead of blood, but no more than that. and let me tell you, it friggin' hurts.

well tomorrow night, my friend (lives about 20 feet from my house) 's mom is having a block party, and coincidentally i'm planning on getting quite drunk. i don't really want to go though, because there's a huge possibility of my parents being there, and i really don't want my parents to see me drunk. it's one thing for me to call them when i'm drunk to tell them where i am, but i have this big "fear" that they'll be really disappointed if they see me drunk. oh well, drunk is drunk. and my friend's neighbor is smokin' hot, she should be there, most likely drunk. :lol:

well i'm going to go play drums for a while, since i had a nap when i came home, i'm completely exhausted. i couldn't pay attention at all today, and all of my teachers told me it would be better if i just went home. :lol: unfortunately i didn't want to walk home by myself, so i stayed and slept in class.

[Plan B.]

That's some complex ****, I'd love to hear it.

:cool:

[rockindrummer]

^ well I know I couldn't do it. It'd be pretty cool to hear what you have done with it.

To faith, this thread is to fast.

[Brokensticks]

Plan.B i love your avatar and message K is for kool lol

[Plan B.]

Thanks, gotta represent my favourite cymbal.

:cool:

On a side note I got my new Modern Drummer today!

[spike9908]

i couldnt have picked a worse day to start work. i had like a hour and a half of homework that i just got done. this year is looking like its gonna be a bitch.

[rockindrummer]

^ What grade?

Ya I know what your saying, it probally will be the same for me.

[Win A Rabbit]

haha my classes are jokes for homework. my teacher gave us 10 questions to do on a 2 page story we read, and told us she'd give us the rest of class (half an hour) to finish them. i did them, and it took me no more than 5 minutes to answer them fully. no one else did them, and no one did the homework, so she said she'd give us an extension, but they were due the next day. she gave us 15 minutes to do them that class, and still no one did them. so we come in today, STILL no one done them, she gives us half an hour to do those questions and another 5 questions from another story. we finally all finish (after everyone works in a big group and copies from 1 person) and then we talked aboutr capital punishment the rest of class.

[TTTSNB]

Hey Jim, could you please unban D41LYBR34Dm4n? One of his friend got on his account and posted the nasty pic. He had told him that one of the user here was being annoying, and his friend took the retarded initiative to post the **********.

[Lord Worm]

Hey Jim, could you please unban D41LYBR34Dm4n? One of his friend got on his account and posted the nasty pic. He had told him that one of the user here was being annoying, and his friend took the retarded initiative to post the **********.

Yeah this is me posting from another screen name. I don't know why you think it was me to just randomly post something retarded like that. I'd really appreciate my name Trilobite unbanned I don't know why that one is, I wanna get rid of D41LYBR34Dm4n.

[styler]

he prolly wouldnt have a problem if he knew it was your friend, but he has no way of knowing...cuz ive gotta say..."it wasnt me, it was my friend" is easily one of the most used excuses on the internet...

[Lord Worm]

he prolly wouldnt have a problem if he knew it was your friend, but he has no way of knowing...cuz ive gotta say..."it wasnt me, it was my friend" is easily one of the most used excuses on the internet...

Lol I know but I don't know what else to say to explain myself. Just check my previous posts on that name they show NO evidence whatsoever of the behavior my friend demonstrated with that thread.

[Futuro]

On a side note I got my new Modern Drummer today! it always takes forever to get mine... who in this months?

[Fuzzy]

I'm going insane. Due to marching band, I've not been able to PROPERLY play the DWs for any length of time in three days. Holy Jesus, please help me. At least I can play at Jazz Band.

[Fuzzy]

Oh yeah, our first show this year (the first home football game) is tomorrow. I go to school and come back after it's over. We have a practice for a few hours, have a cookout, suit up, and play. It's my first year in marching band, and me, the lucky 4th bass drummer that I am, get to lead the entire band out onto the field. Fun times.

[Arcturus]

I'm in marching band too, I play tuba. Tomorrow's our first game too.

[Ethan.]

I can't figure out a band name.

[Fuzzy]

Drum LIIIIIIIIIIIIINE! We get to roar awesome things in the stand crowd teazers. Like "HEY!" and other stupid things =D

[Plan B.]

it always takes forever to get mine... who in this months?


Drummer Steve Jordan is on the cover with the main interview. Haven't heard of him before, but "The Funkiest Drummer Alive" apeals to me.

- Alkaline Trio's Derek Grant

- Shannon Larkin has a Godsmack chart

- Remebering Tito Puente

- Derrick Plourde his 9 greatest beats

- Jake Hanna big band veteran

- Bass on Drums: Anthony Jackson

- Product review; Pearl Reference series drums

I'm psyched! I haven't started it yet.

[Plan B.]

L-Word's on!

*Watches*

[Arcturus]

Drum LIIIIIIIIIIIIINE! We get to roar awesome things in the stand crowd teazers. Like "HEY!" and other stupid things =D

Yeah whenever the opposing team kicks off we play blast notes into our instruments to try to mess them up. Are you a freshman?

Big wiener. Resize as necessary!

[poppinfresh]

ok lets have a contest. Lets see who can find me a nice sweater. I dont care if its a hoodie or the zippy kind as long as it looks good. Just to give you an idea i have had this sweater for 4 years but it had a hole in it for a while and my mommy wont let me wear it anymore
http://store1.yimg.com/I/moondoggies_1860_203953
ok start

[poppinfresh]

hahahaha
i dunno bill drum i really like this avatar that i have now

[billdrum]

Yeah, it's hard to beat that one!

[billdrum]

Sweater:

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

I have too much time on my hands....

[rockindrummer]

^ That is pretty freaking weird man. Is that your dog?

[Double Bass Jim]

Haha thats a nice lookin dog.

[Arcturus]

DBJ did you get TTTSNB's message?

[billdrum]

^ That is pretty freaking weird man. Is that your dog?

No, just a pic I found.

[rockindrummer]

^ K, good. :lol:

[Win A Rabbit]

i despise people dressing up dogs. my neighbor wouldn't let her dog go out to piss/s'hit if it didn't have it's little booties and scarf on, IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER. and when she takes it out for walks, a whole different story. sweater, scarf, hat, and full leg booties. :amaze:

[rockindrummer]

^ ahh what that is just wrong.

[Win A Rabbit]

and it gets worse. she has multiple outfits for the dog, and occasionally she'll match what she's wearing with what the dog's wearing. oh do i laugh when i see that.

so i was thinking... yesterday my friend wanted me to test out the drums before he bought them, so i played some stuff i usually play, and the guy that works there (big jazz drummer) asked me what time sig i was playing. i told him it was in 4/4, and he didn't believe me. i broke some of what i was playing down to him, and he refused to say it was in 4/4. he would say it was in 7/8 followed by 9/8, etc. when i told him it was just simple phrasing. and i considered it to be in 4/4. then he told me that drummers nowadays are too obsessed with making drums "mathematical" that they've forgotten the meaning of drums: to lay down a simple rhythm. what's your guys' opinion on that? (for the record, i wasn't playing anything complicated really, just fairly simple rock beats)

[billdrum]

He makes a point, but it is possible to combine both elements: groove and complexity.

[Arcturus]

The reason my band plays in a lot of complex time sigs is because we're tired of repetitive, generic music.

[billdrum]

BTW, would you believe Drummaker sent me the wrong hoop again for my popcorn snare? Third time. Unbelievable. The owner went into the warehouse himself while we were on the phone this time to find the right hoop. I hope somebody gets fired!

[Plan B.]

Hahaha, oh man.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were doing it as a joke now... a cruel, sick, joke.

[Double Bass Jim]

Hahaha gezz bill, your getting screwed over big time.

[billdrum]

Yeah, I'm afraid to open the next package.

[poppinfresh]

ive been trying to get my gramma to knit me one of those but she doesnt take me seriously.

thats why you must buy everything frum www.amdrumparts.com im sure the lady in you avatar will agree.

[aznriceball]

geezus..i spent an hr reading about 5 pages, im now on like pg22 of this thread. is it even POSSIBLE to catch up?

[billdrum]

AM doesn't have the selection drummaker has, especially the black hardware that I like.

[rockindrummer]

^ I wouldn't try. There were some awsome conversations a while back though.

[poppinfresh]

AM doesn't have the selection drummaker has, especially the black hardware that I like.
i must agree there, but since the last time i have llooked there selection got better but i do agree with you. I like the deal that they have where if you buy the shell and the hardware you get free edges and holes thats the only reason im buying from them.

[styler]

ive decided i wanna teach young kids drumming when im older, i taught my first lesson today to a 10 year old (im 16) cuz my drum teacher was having a conversation with his dad and he thought it would be educational for me.
i taught him for like an hour and a half cuz my teacher thought i was doing a good job and everything i was saying and explaining stuck to the kid like glue..was the koolest feeling when he finally mastered a basic 8th note, lol.
im such a sap :P

[billdrum]

Polyrhythms next lesson!

[Win A Rabbit]

i'm going to be teaching my friend drums right away. he got me to write down everything he should buy (metronome, stick control, practice pad, etc.), some basic rock beats to master (leading with both left and right) and some open hi-hat work. things that i learned when i first started. tomorrow i'm going to show him proper technique, and rudiments and such. he's pretty good so far, i just need to show him some dynamics and get him grooving, because he's very mechanical when he drums. he's my little project of the month, i wanna see how good of a teacher i am.

[PowerStamp]

The way to roll with the Stronghold is to go back 3 pages from the latest one and read from there to see the current conversation, and go from there.
:P

This is something I must say.


WINTER SOLSTICE IS BADASS.
I've seen them live twice and finally got their CD awhile back, but ****it man this band is killer.
http://www.purevolume.com/wintersolstice

That version's not the best quality, but their timing as a band is awesome, great song.

Don't screw up though. You teach him bad technique, he gets hurt.. guess who gets sued?

[Drum Phil]

I'm not :) Not any time soon. Just decided i want it some day

[Epiphender]

I'm planning to just build up my current kit. I don't think I'm ever going to upgrade again.

This is me with Colin Woolway, who has been playing professionally for 30 years, is a tutor for Rhythm Magazine (UK), and is the creator of the DrumSense training program.

^ He makes some pretty good lessons in the magazine.

Today, First two periods were the worst. Bloody pervy Biology teacher. I'm not joking, he had an affair with a pupil a couple of years back and is now married to her.
Anyway, I spilt chlorophyll on the workbench; which turned the bench green, then broke a pipette tube when I dropped it on the floor.
However some nice, but scary, guy helped me pick it up.

Apart from those two minor incidents, and some other thing that happened my day has been good.

And that guy was off school today, thankfully...

[Jezen]

Some ginger guy in my class broke his arm last night.


Oohhh the violence of rugby....

[Voodoo Rabbit]

I remember when I was younger and I used to play rugby.
There was this little girl, WAY younger than me (and shorter) and she used to squeeze my hand really tight and threaten me.

----

Oohh, Biscuits and milk (Yummy).

There is nothing on TV. Apart from some weird spoof of 'Only Fools and Horses', something else that I'm not quite sure of, a Mel Gibson film, and 'The Simpsons'...

[Drum Phil]

and the simpsons has finished :( stupid terrestrial TV

[Jezen]

Simpsons just finished. Dayuum.

Just had scones with jam and cream, and now im working on some rebound 8's.

Oh and avatar change.

[Drum Phil]

its friday night, im inside, and im not drunk. This is NOT good

[Voodoo Rabbit]

I'm to tired to do anything but sit here and look at* the the internet, *which needs little energy...

[Drum Phil]

Gah i gotta go get an application form to work in the new tesco here tomorrow

[Jezen]

Oh maaan. I have to get a job tomorrow. Mum said I have to go out and get a job, and I can't come home till I have one.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

^ They pay REALLY well, though (Tesco)...

I know someone who just applied, that's getting £43* a week, for working three evenings (Not very loong evenings either, as the store closes at 8PM).

I was thinking of getting an application for our nearest store...

[spike9908]

I decided this is the kit i would ultimately like to get.

Specs:

Bass woofers: 8x22
Piccolo toms: 2x8,2x10,2x12

if your getting a DW, why would you get a finish ply. i would go for at least a satin oil or laquer.

Oh maaan. I have to get a job tomorrow. Mum said I have to go out and get a job, and I can't come home till I have one.

dont jobs normally have an interview and them calling you later to tell you if you got it or not. ive never seen someone hired right off the street, or is that just an american thing.

I wish there was a Tesco's near me...

....Actually I probably can't legally work there. Everywhere in England is like 16+.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

I just can't get into this album i'm listening too and it's really annoying me...

There's some pretty good songs, but it's just to *Meh* and boring...
Not as good as the previous ones...

*Just thought I should add - Thanks for the Rep 'Pesp'...*

[Jezen]

I wish pespi repped me...

Is it just me or is GhostNote not working?

Didn't they shut down?...

Ours is 24hours so i'll be getting £10.50 an hour + free coffee, tea and sandwiches for a night shift

[Voodoo Rabbit]

See, you'd be getting an awful lot of money.

Lucky buggar.

[Jezen]

Didn't they shut down?...

Why would that happen?

[Drum Phil]

See, you'd be getting an awful lot of money.

Lucky buggar.

:cool: Even better seeing as i need to upgrade my kit, hardware and cymbals and replace my heads

[Jezen]

Maaan a tenner an hour is a fortune.

[Drum Phil]

The other place i applied to was 7 an hour with £500 bonuses quarterly. With £18 an hour overtime on a sunday. But they never got back to me to arrange an interview

I love green finishes/wraps and gold hardware :D they make me happy

[Win A Rabbit]

Don't screw up though. You teach him bad technique, he gets hurt.. guess who gets sued?
don't worry, proper technique was the first thing i taught him before he even bought drums. i saw him playing mine, full arm flailing, holding the sticks as tight as possible, and i cringed. :lol:

party this weekend, yee-haw. jack daniels tonight, then tomorrow we're going with tequila again. we're going to buy the limes early tomorrow and pre-cut them all, because last time we would all take a shot, then have to wait 5 minutes for them to cut the next lime, etc. man i love tequila. it's so much funner with the salt, shot, lime technique. it's almost like a game :lol:

[Futuro]

anyone buy the new Opeth album yet? and how good is it compared to other albums from them.

[Double Bass Jim]

Great album, harlequin forest is my favorite on that CD.

****ing beating the defending champs AIGHT

[Ethan.]

My parents are on vacation and I think I will do something. But I don't know. Maybe a midnight concert in my front yard? :lol:

That would be a hell of a lot of fun. But I would get into lots of trouble. Can't do that my parents already don't trust me enough.

[gastery6]

You could have a backyard concert. Just make theres no drinking going on, that way you can say that you wanted to have a mini concert to biuld your confidence

[KWG]

its so crazy it might just work. Especialy when theres no drinking involved, but that will never happen. Unless you live in a truley groovy place.

[Ethan.]

Yeah but I don't think that would happen... our band just started.

[gastery6]

Then shut the **** up. Just joking

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Then shut the **** up. Just joking


You havent been here long enough to say that.

hey, I was jsut joking. I did not mean to offend anyone so take it easy

WTF ... A worm called NetBus just tried to get into my computer. I think it's from this site or something.

[gastery6]

A virus I presume. I hope you got rid of it

Man I been havin alot of computer trouble latley I swear, a few days ago I got blue screened and got some kinda boot error! I had to re-install Xp :(

[Seafroggys]

Man I love Win 98 SE. Get a blue screen maybe less then once a month.

When I had ME, I'd get them quite a bit.

I think I had several when I had XP.

[Double Bass Jim]

Right on man ^

No one ever beleives me when I tell em windows 98 was the best there was.

[Massik Kretal]

I never get a blue screen...I got XP.

[styler]

me too...i havent had a blue screen in years man...lol

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Hah, the joys of the blue screen *remembers times when it used to happen frequently*

----

Ok, So I've run out of Shampoo and Conditioner, Shower Gel, Face wash, Deoderant, Ink for my pen, apples, batteries and countless other things...

Perhaps it's time I went shopping...

[Double Bass Jim]

Hah, the joys of the blue screen *remembers times when it used to happen frequently*
Haha it's one of those " No.. NOOOOOO!!! Moments :lol: "

[Jezen]

Yeah, and it always happens as you are finishing off that 1000 word english essay, and you forgot to save...

[Double Bass Jim]

Ohhh man forget about it.

[Drum Phil]

That reminds me, i gotta upgrade to WinxP 64.

[PowerStamp]

I can't recall getting one in a really long time (XP), but I must say that I also think 98 was the best-done there was. They tried to improve and change too many things with XP that didn't quite work out IMO


OH YEAH.
A few pages back, arguing about Arcturus' band, he said
"
I guarantee you haven't heard anything like us

I would LOVE to take you up on that, and I'm not kidding at all.
Because I've listened to stuff most people on here haven't heard anything like (other than ripoffs that came out after the band)
HORSE the Band, Tub Ring, BearVSShark, etc (BVS aren't AS original but yeah)

For real.
I'd practically put money I could find a band that sounds similar to yours.



So anyways, I bought Volume 1 of Family Guy the other day (volumes 1/2), and I've been watching them practically all week. Finally on the last 3 episodes, but **** that show is hilarious. (623 minutes of Family Guy or something like that)
Next week I'll be buying Volume 2!

Whoo.

The new Burnout game comes out in about a week, for PS2 and PSP. Gettin the PSP one first (different game on each system), just to have a new cool game to play on it lol

[lpmeca]

^^^
Sounds like you had a good day, famiy guys Pwns!

[PowerStamp]

haha
my day yesterday consisted of sleeping until 5, getting on the computer, watching part of the movie "Sahara" (What I saw was pretty good, maybe about 20 minutes left when I stopped) and had to go to work (overnight)

bastards got me to work overnight this week, but that's ok, it'll only be every other week or so until they hire someone to do it permanently.
Plus the manager last night/tonight is pretty hot, so yeah ;) lol
Sucks is I'm the only crew they could get for this weekend, making 2 people with me and the manager, running the entire store (no lobby). Not too bad, we usually have 3 on overnights, but legally we HAVE to have 3 for security reasons, so if we get robbed **** it.




Anyone wants to ever rob a McDonalds, tonight's your prime chance. Between midnight and 4:30 AM (when we're the only ones for sure), Smithville MO McDonalds ;)
lol

[Fuzzy]

Yeah whenever the opposing team kicks off we play blast notes into our instruments to try to mess them up. Are you a freshman?
No, I'm a sophomore.
First performance this year went BRILLIANTLY. The band director said it was the best first show he had seen yet. The music was spot-on and the marching was hellah good. It was tons of fun :cool: To give you an idea of how hardcore it was, take a look at this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/fuzzydrummer/broken1.jpg

It shattered inside the grip tape (I had wrapped it with extra tape before the football game so this wouldn't happen!) and the tape snapped while I was moshing/playing stand music with the rest of drumline off of the field. Wicked sick.

[styler]

you play bass?or tenor?

and thats bloody insane, i dont think id ever manage to break a stick like that lol

[Futuro]

I never get a blue screen...I got XP. lucky man, i used to get that thing ALL the time on my NEW computer. I had my neighbor do some configuring on it and it doesnt do it any more. another thing that happens nowadays on my comp is when i start it up the harddrive wont read XP and nothing will happen, then i have to do all this crap to start it up again :upset: i hate XP.

[Ethan.]

I have ME, I get blue screens quite often.

[Fuzzy]

you play bass?or tenor?

and thats bloody insane, i dont think id ever manage to break a stick like that lol

Neither did I, and I'm not a hard hitter either. I play fourth bass, and that is a HUGE mallet.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Haha it's one of those " No.. NOOOOOO!!! Moments :lol: "

:lol:...

Yeah, and it always happens as you are finishing off that 1000 word english essay, and you forgot to save...

That happened to me the other week.

I nearly started crying because I was almost on the last paragraph.

Stupid technology...

[RushHourSoul]

So today one of friends got beaten up... The kid who did it tripped him up while he was walking home from work, then proceeded to stamp on his face and kick him in the head. He had a plastic leg brace which was obviously used as a weapon cos he could walk perfectly... Things like this make me sick.

To those who live in the UK, yes he was a chav..

Wankers. I hate neds (chavs) so much. Tonnes of them in Dundee, whihc is just across the water from me. Nearly got belted in the face a few years ago.

[RushHourSoul]

Just at the south near southampton.

Can't believe they'd mug someone for trainers. What an idiot.

At least the guy who beat up my friend is getting in trouble for it with the law. There was a witness across the road luckily.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

My friend got 'beaten' up a few months ago.

We ended up running away down a street and getting lost.
Which resulted in many other scary things...

I live just out side london so nothing surprises me any more in crime.

When i went to the old tower records, and i caught some black dude with his hand in my pocket. So i asked him to take it out, and he told me that i was racest as i was accusing him of being a theif just due to him being black. Rite, so it had nothing to do with his hand in my pocket.

The people who beat up your mate will be done for either GBH or ABH.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

^ Which is what they deserve.

Cheeky Buggars.

[Win A Rabbit]

i am completely hung over. and tequila night starts in 3 hours. i just got up. :lol:

i had a NICE 14 hour sleep, but with barely any water, and i was way too tired to get up and get some. and now i'm paying the price.

tequila night is our new tradition, where EVERYONE we know has to come out and drink with us. we have it like once every 5 or 6 weeks, and its tons of fun.

[Drum Phil]

I had the **** kicked outta me a couple of months ago. And the guy got away with it because the only witnesses were his friends. Still got problems from the broken nose now

Import it from Paris. We took it on the plane (cargo compartment), and had no problems. Don't tell them about it of course.

RE: Roadrunner Allstars
I haven't heard it yet, considering it's not OUT yet. :P

However I have heard the song they released from Rob Flynn's team, it was pretty good. Had Howard from KSE on vocals with Rob, and it was pretty awesome as far as lyrics go. The music was decent.


Arcturus:
First off, nice playing. The bass player's amazing, how long has he been playing? Get a guitarist and possibly a singer and you've got a great thing going for sure.

The first obvious comparison is Primus, simply for the bass styling.
But overall musically, although I mentioned them in the previous thread, you guys have a sound pretty close to Tub Ring (at times...they change styles very frequently)

http://www.myspace.com/tubring
Those are all from their newer CD, of those listen to "Sharpening the Sticks" and "Promise Keeper"

You guys sound more like their old CD, "Fermi Paradox" which I can't find anything online yet.

http://www.tubring.com/music/Tub%20Ring%20-%20Invalid.mp3
There, only song I could find from Fermi lol, and a very badass song.

Given time I could probably find someone else but they hit my mind immediately, and with Pizza coming I don't feel like searching through obscure bands lol
Good stuff though.

[CombatWombat3]

Alright, I asked a girl to homecoming today in a fairly clever way:

Before she got to school in the morning, I put a note in her locker that said (in collage, all of the notes were) "will you". The next note she found was 3rd period (our school has 9 periods a day). She has choir 3rd period, so I put a note that said "go to" in her choir folder, but our chior teacher was gone that day, so all thekids check in with our school secretary. Luckily, I had planned ahead and given another note to the secretrary to give to the girl (monika) when she checked, simply saying "monika, you ahve a message".

So that was the 2nd message she got. And then, 5th period, we both have English. So I taked to our English teacher a couple of days before, and he really wanted to help (he's an english teacher, a romantic/dreamy sort, possibly the favorite teacher in the school). He hands out a poem in class, but instead of giving her a poem, he slips from the bottom a piece of paper that said "homecoming with" on it.

And finally, at the end of the day, I walked down the hall with a t-shirt on that said, in big letters, "ME?" It was pretty sweet, especially because the ENTIRE school knew except for her. All day everyone was coming up to me and asking how it was going (our school is small, 270 kids), but noone let on at all to her.








(she said yes, by the way)

Alright, I asked a girl to homecoming today in a fairly clever way:

Before she got to school in the morning, I put a note in her locker that said (in collage, all of the notes were) "will you". The next note she found was 3rd period (our school has 9 periods a day). She has choir 3rd period, so I put a note that said "go to" in her choir folder, but our chior teacher was gone that day, so all thekids check in with our school secretary. Luckily, I had planned ahead and given another note to the secretrary to give to the girl (monika) when she checked, simply saying "monika, you ahve a message".

So that was the 2nd message she got. And then, 5th period, we both have English. So I taked to our English teacher a couple of days before, and he really wanted to help (he's an english teacher, a romantic/dreamy sort, possibly the favorite teacher in the school). He hands out a poem in class, but instead of giving her a poem, he slips from the bottom a piece of paper that said "homecoming with" on it.

And finally, at the end of the day, I walked down the hall with a t-shirt on that said, in big letters, "ME?" It was pretty sweet, especially because the ENTIRE school knew except for her. All day everyone was coming up to me and asking how it was going (our school is small, 270 kids), but noone let on at all to her.








(she said yes, by the way)


That's awesome.

:cool:
