Drum Stronghold

[Voodoo Rabbit]

A* pair of Sabian AAX Stage hats.

They sound Gorgeous...

[Double Bass Jim]

Ahh good ole' stage hats, they work for everything.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

I came home this afternoon, and there was a huge box in the hallway, so I started jumping up and down.

I must have looked really stupid...

[Josiah]

We are. The U.S is the king of the fatasses i'll tell ya that and im a very patriotic american. People don't have any willpower anymore.


Haha yea. Worse weight problem because of two reasons. As Jim said.. no will power or selfcontrol. Secondly our government, as smart as they are right? Allows the sale of HORRIBLE fast food on a mass basis. Wich of course generates billions of dollars in tax dollars for the government, medical industry revenue and so forth.

I came home this afternoon, and there was a huge box in the hallway, so I started jumping up and down.


Funny, I came home to find a large package.. but I knew what it was so I frowned. A very very big law book that I need read a lot of for a test next week :(

[Voodoo Rabbit]

^ Oh Dear :(...

[spike9908]

Allows the sale of HORRIBLE fast food on a mass basis. Wich of course generates billions of dollars in tax dollars for the government, medical industry revenue and so forth.

the thing is, they cant close them unless every location completely bombs health inspection. but jim was dead on with the will power thing. people make their lives so busy that they cant find the time to go home and make something to eat or go out somewhere decent.

[Jezen]

Not me. I'm just straight up lazy.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

People don't eat to survive, anymore.

They eat when they feel the 'need' to have somthing (For example, a chocolate biscuit)...

Like, I don't think cavemen were running around killing something everytime they thought they were hungry...

[Jezen]

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Yes, it's lovely.

Your turning out like 'red 'n black' with his over-active phase of posting random pictures...

[Double Bass Jim]

Like, I don't think cavemen were running around killing something everytime they thought they were hungry...
Haha yea that would be rough, just think even fast food would be bigger then you.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Well, Goodnight everyone. I'm going to bed.

And those stuck in hurricane Rita, good luck and stuff...

[Der Meister]

We are. The U.S is the king of the fatasses i'll tell ya that and im a very patriotic american. People don't have any willpower anymore.

Companies have been known (eg Pringles) to put addictive, yet allowed, chemicals into foods. You don't have a dependecy on the food, but you just want to eat it.

My family has gone all organic and we mostly eat all our own produce. I have gone from being overweight and asmatic to relativley healthy in just a few months.

All I had to do was instead of going for a chocolate bar, have a boiled egg or an apple.

[spike9908]

man, i wish i had the will power to go organic, but at least i can keep from eating junk all day, and im already really healthy and a good weight. i can imagine how fast you could get healthy only/mostly eating organic food.

[poppinfresh]

HOLY ****ING ****
watch this movie
http://www.drummerworld.com/Videos/johnblackwellfunky.html

[Plan B.]

Nice choice on the hats!

I have the same ones, great hats.

[poppinfresh]

does that look like a mapex to anyone else.?

[poppinfresh]

ok im going to wacthc this movie liek ten times it kicks so much ***, then im going to make a thread about it.

[Plan B.]

Haha, what movie?

[Der Meister]

does that look like a mapex to anyone else.?

it definately is, you can see the mounts.

[Win A Rabbit]

it definately is, you can see the mounts.
but it's got "tama" on the bass reso. ??? sweet vid. so far though, i love funk drumming.

[spike9908]

but it's got "tama" on the bass reso. ??? sweet vid. so far though, i love funk drumming.

some pros will do that. since he endorses tama, he put a tama reso on, but used mapex drums. he could use whatever he wanted as long as he had a tama reso on the bass.

[Win A Rabbit]

slow night in the d&p. 5 hours and no posts in the stronghold? is everyone out partying without me? :( and then it'll be full of people tomorrow night when i'm out doing my thing... :lol:

[styler]

sorry sic, i just got home from work, lol.
wassup allll

[rockindrummer]

not much, just amazingly tired from the week of school.

[rockindrummer]

Poppin that is a freaking awsome video man.

[Brokensticks]

It is a sweet video i watched it in your thread a couple hours ago

[poppinfresh]

oh thanks the i had trouble though, we had to make that video a few times cause the idiot who filmed me kept shaking.


I accomplished so much today. Me and my friend had zippy jackets on. So we pretended to be birds and i can do a pretty good crow impression. So everytime a car stopped in front of us and blocked our way we flew around the car a couple times and crowed. Then we got to guitar center, nothing interesting except this gothic girl with extremely low self esteem was playing guitar and my friend told me to watch her shred it was pretty amusing because she sucked and while we were standing next to her looking at really fast guitars she kept looking at us to make sure we were amazed. Holy **** im typing perfectly what the ****.

Then my badminton friend called and said that barefoot coffee roasters had free everything for their second anniversary so we went there. Some hick band was playing there. I ordered the thing with the most sugar, i was going to get another one but i kept telling them that they take so long and she wouldnt give me any. So i got a cup of ice and we through ice at this asian guy. Then we had races with those flicky things and the steel ball that you try to get into the U. I didnt win, mine didnt have a ball and i didnt realize it till later. Then we ran around outside screaming at people and jumping on cars. oh my friend covered his car in zumiezs stickers it looks pretty awesome, it looks way faster now.

[rockindrummer]

^ It sounds like you guys we totally tanked.


Sounds pretty fun though. Better than my day, school and some pretty intense jamming, this was the only good part of the day.

[PowerStamp]

I imagined you saying that post really fast in one breath, your voice getting higher and higher as it went on.

The image of two kids running around a car squawking is higly amusing, although I personally would have slammed open my door. ;)


So tonight, work, but we were out of Chocolate Chip cookies, so I had to go to another store to borrow some. On the way there, a firetruck comes ROARING behind me, I pull over and it turns right a few streets down (towards Metro North Mall and another McDonalds, but not the one I was borrowing from). Further down the road, I see another firetruck coming in the same direction. I borrow the cookies and leave.


I get to the intersection where the firetruck turned, and I see an ambulance speeding down the road, and I'm stopped at a red light. Smoke is EVERYWHERE, you can smell something burning really thick in the air (windows down, as always lol)
I was tempted to check it out but I went back to work cause the girl I like was working and she was teaching me to Waltz in between orders (lol!) and she was off soon.

I guess I'll find out what happened tomorrow on the news.

Oh yeah, this totally happened just a few blocks from my house.

[poppinfresh]

hey guys i need help deciding what to become.
my mom syas doctor or lawyer. But i hate those **** ****ing jobs. She also says that i have to get into stanford but dont worry about that i told her to be more realistic.

first i said psychologist, and she said they are all crazy. Even though they make like 500 bucks an hour. then i said neurologist and that was good then i realized what it was so i dont want to do that. Then i said sound engineering and ive been going to community college for that so i almost have my degreee so i wont have trouble getting into colege for that, but she heard the word sound and said no, even tohugh the top 10% make 82,512 dolla a year and job growth is expected to increase dramatically by 2012, and theres a lot of jobs there. I want to do something hands, something where i can keep my brain working and keep my hands busy, i dont want to let my brain rot and go to waste. I was thinking chef but apparently thats not good. She just wants it to sound good when she tells her friends. "my son is going to stanford...hes studying law...i drive a merdcedes...my son PWNS yours."
Uh i dont really know what to become at this point apparently acording to my mommy computers are going to take over everything and the only things people will know how to do is get sick and sue eachother. She thinks computers will take over all the jobs even though i repeatedly proved her wrong. I say screw mom and become whatever i want but shes the one with the money, not me.

[rockindrummer]

^ Wow that is pretty freaky man. Stuff like that is really scarey when you think about how it can just happen to you like that.

Well anyway I'm off to sleep. Gotta get up early, some guy is coming to look at the z custom crash i'm selling.

[PowerStamp]

How about a compromise of sorts Poppin?

Major in something to impress your mom and friends (Heck...who WOULDN'T want a law degree, just to get in an argument with your friend and bust it out. "I am better than you, assclown." ) and then Minor in something you want.

Or you can Major in what you want and Minor in something fancy, but tell your mom it's the other way around lol

[poppinfresh]

my mom says "just take four years law, then you can do whatever you want." WHAT A ****ING WASTE OF TIME THATS 4 DMAN YEARS WASTED IF IM NOT GOGING TO DO LAW!!!!!!!!

[PowerStamp]

Well while your mom is right that those are both EXCELLENT degrees to get that will land you in the "set for life" category, if you don't particularly care for either one it won't be any different to you than mowing lawns or working in a grocery store, just a drudge-bore job.

Do you not even know what you want to do yet? (just asking)

If not, you might want to just go to Community College for a year. Much cheaper, lets you get some credits built up and you can get ideas of what you want to do from classmates and your teachers.

[poppinfresh]

No i dont, thats what i was aksing help for. I dont really think i would want to go to community college, im going to get lazy. I need to searcha round more figure out what else there is.

[PowerStamp]

If you have any idea what college you want to go to, you could check their website (or just pick a few colleges and check their sites) and see what they offer.

I'm pretty sure there's somebody there you could call, College Counselor or something similar to that, that you could tell them your interests, the kind of job you'd want, where you excell in school/work, etc etc and they could give some suggestions.

Start checking out some college websites for course studies, and that'll get you a foot in the right direction.


First question to ask yourself: What makes me happy?
Second question: Is this something I truly love and could do for the next 50+ years?
get my drift?

Anyways, good luck man, I'm out for the night.

[poppinfresh]

i was thinking architect also since i can get my creativity out that way and since i have a strentgh in math. And some architect told me i would make a good architect when i was three or four because i did a good job of measuring his chimney.

[PowerStamp]

*just saw your new post*

Architect would be awesome man, that's something I always have been personally considering myself.
Look some stuff up on that online, see what kind of courses you'd need and whatnot, but that's a great career choice (that mum can be proud of too ;) )

[poppinfresh]

yeah actually that is what im looking for, something that i could do and keep myself entertained but i dont seem to reach an agreement. Maybe architect.

Thanks for oyur help powerstamp.

Ok, so yesterday I got a little food poisoning from the cereal my housekeeper gave me. I was sick a few times, and then I passed out in front of the toilet. Real rockstar thing to do huh?
Well anyway, last night I had a bit of a mini-party. Maaan I was so close to scoring.

[Double Bass Jim]

I didnt know you played basketball.

[rockindrummer]

^ Bwaahahahahahaha. That's awsome jim.


BB how do you get food poisoning from cereal? Did your housekeeper like pour some raw meat juice into it with the milk or somthing?

[Jezen]

I dunno. Apparently it was bad milk.

[poppinfresh]

hey jim, you might want to check out the new DRUM!. They have a really nice neil peart section and osme other interesting things, i think you might like this one. they have also completely reone their format so you mgiht want to check it out and see what you think of it.

[rockindrummer]

I dunno. Apparently it was bad milk.


Oh ya, that could do it.

[poppinfresh]

oh im at my firends house and his neighbors have comcast on wireless. FULL SIGNAL!! and its ****in fast as hell. i dont want to leave. Ive been connected all day with no interuptions but i still havent decided what to do.

[rockindrummer]

That guy, that I was talking about last night, bout my z custom today so it's off to L&M tomorrow to pick up some new heads and probally a splash too :D

[Jezen]

I wish I had money for a head change. Oh well, maybe I might get payed my 125 pound grant today from my school. Hopefully. Then I will buy some parts for my snare, a drum module, and some heads.

[poppinfresh]

just downloaded every dos game that i used to play when i was three. except for spiderman, that didnt wok for osme reason.

i got
jill of the jungle
wolfestein 3d
doom
cd man

[PowerStamp]

^^^ Awesome. Classics.
I used to play Jill of thE Jungle dude, that game is cool as ****!


Ok. Tonight at work, was freaking AWESOME. Sure it was the same old same old, but this semi-hot chick (not hot, but pretty good looking) was doing the same semi-flirt thing she always does where I'm never sure if she's joking or not.
Being the clown I am I told her I didn't mind if she looked at my *** or even grabbed it at any time, and I expected a laugh or something but a few seconds later a grab. ;) haha

ALL NIGHT she was all over me. Good times.
Oh yeah. When I was on break in the crew room (no cameras ;) haha) she walked back there and made a joke that I needed to Iron my pants. So I said OK and pulled my pants down (boxers on of course). I caught her lookin after she walked away. ;)

Ok the story was way better when it happened, but you get my drift.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

^ Ohhhhh,
*Childish voice* Powerstamps' got a girlfriend *End Childish Voice*

[PowerStamp]

yeah buddy.

Nah.

Just somebody to play grabass with at work hahaha
:P
bah
I have to go back to work at 11:30 and was planning to just stay up all day until then, but I just yawned and already I'm bored and don't wanna follow up my plans (watch final disk of Family Guy volume 2, watch Super Troopers, re-setup drumset from last show, etc)

Problem is I gotta be at work at 11:30 which means leave my house at 11...and I need to take a shower which means I have to AT LEAST get up at 10, and it's 4...6 hours of sleep.
lol

I'm picky about my sleep.
Oh well **** it, I'm off to bed.

[Jezen]

Your in the zone Powerstamp! Go son!

So yeah, im at music school right now. Im finished for the day, but someone wants me to join their jazz ensemble, so I gotta stay back and have a chat with them.

Good news: I DO get a £125 grant from The Sage. Basically, I buy as many things as I want with my own money, then I bring the receipts back here and they re-imburse me. :thumb:

[poppinfresh]

hey britishboy, how about picking up a few things for me? Im sure that they can double the price but list it as one and give you two...

[poppinfresh]

oh im still at the house with the concast nextdoor, its been all night and i still dont know what to do with it. I hate this

[poppinfresh]

yes, just beat wolfenstein. How do i get hte rest of the episodes.

[Jezen]

You can download the full version of Wolf 3D from alot of sites, legally. No money, or membership. I finished it. It was fun.

My current dillema: I can't decide between two drum modules. I'm torn between the Alesis D4 and the Akai XE8. Any help guys?

[poppinfresh]

oh where did you get it, i only found the shareware version which is the first episode of ten levels.

[Win A Rabbit]

well yesterday, i went shopping with 3 lady friends and one of my man friends. they looked at some dresses and i tried on some tuxes. man i look amazing in a tux. :lol: i've never been in a tux, apart from when i was like 2 and at a wedding, you know how it is.

well me and my friend wanted some ties, so we went to this one store, and the ties started at $150. that was the cheapest tie. so we went to zellers and checked out some zip-up ties for $10. we didn't buy them anyways, but the zip-ups were awesome.

well i found a helium balloon stuck to the roof within 5 minutes of getting to the mall and tied it to my wrist, carried it around for hours. then when we were leaving, i tied a napkin to it, and wrote "P'ENIS" on the napkin, then let it fly up above the restaurant above us. sooner or later it's gonna come down on someone's table. i wanted to write something creepy like "i'm watching you" or something, but they didn't take so kindly to that idea.

so me and my friend traded in our quarters for pennies at various stores, and eventually got about $2.50 in pennies. we sat down and threw them at this one bell in the boat area of the mall. (we usually do this with whatever spare change we have, but that's just like 10 pennies each)

i eventually bought 3 dvd's and 2 magazines: in the army now, orgazmo, and lamb of god - killadelphia. magazines were wonkavision, and punk planet.

and now i'm going to go play drums, since i took a day off work to get in a good few hours of practice.

[Jezen]

Ok, I couldn't find a website anymore for Wolf 3D (full), but I managed to get hold of a copy.
If anyone wants it, MSN me.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Had a band practice today.

It was OK, apart from some things, but *meh*...

I have to work in a library tomorrow, which I am slightly looking forward too...

[Jezen]

Poppi, check your mail.

[poppinfresh]

sweet man thanks a lot.

[styler]

why are you lookin forward to spending the day in a library voodoo?

[Voodoo Rabbit]

^Because, I find libraries fun...

I'm just 'into' books and stuff...

[drumass04]

Wooo, I just made a practice pad, it rocks! Exactly the same response as my snare :)

[rockindrummer]

Well we lost which sucks. But w/e no more early games on sunday now which is good.

[styler]

thats a sweet pad man, and that sucks rockindrummer, good thing bout the early games though

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Yay!,

Yael left me a nice comment on my 'myspace' page!...

[CombatWombat3]

Ugh, I start theater next week for our school talent show, I'm the light designer and head light techie, which means a ****load of work. It's going to suck. Next weekend I spend from 6Am - 6PM at school on saturday, and then go in sunday to finish whatever I didnt on saturday. Then that entire week leading up to friday I'm working evry day after school for about 7 hours straight. But then it's homecoming, with my wonderful, wonderful, lady.

Speaking of her, I had a WONDERFUL hour and a half long bus ride with her on friday, for a school field trip. We talked the entier way there, and then she fell asleep on my shoulder on the way back (she's on the varsity soccer team, and they were playing a game in a town that was on the way home, so we dropped them off), so that meant i couldnt move a INCH or else I would wake her up. She eventually did wake up, and we held hadns the entire way to her game. Cute.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Cute.


*Pukes*...

:)...

[CombatWombat3]

hahahha, thanks for the encouragement. I think I'm going to wait for after homecoming to ask her out, I want to see how homecoming goes.

On a different subject, I'm chewing on a cooking knife right now...

[drumass04]

That doesn't sound to sensible.

I'm just starting to do the lighting for our school productions, the person who has done them for countless years is leaving for university soon, so I'm taking over. It's something I would quite like to do as a job, but that probably won't happen.

Are you 'in the business' or do you just do it as a hobby?

[Jezen]

Woah! Coincidence! I'm chewing on my combat knife! :D

[CombatWombat3]

Well, considering I'm just 15, I do it as a hobby. But I worked this summer with a professional theater doing lighting, and through that job I got offered another one this fall. I do it at my school a LOT, and in the community as well.

[drumass04]

Nice one, I'm 14. I'm hoping to go on work experience at the local theatre and then hopefully stay on during the summer. I'll be doing it for all the school productions, drama competition and music competition.

I hate sitting there listening to a piano with nothing to do for 5 minutes, but I suppose you've gotta have down side to everything. Playing about with all the stuff on the desk during the bands is fun though :)

[Jezen]

If anyone remembers me telling them about me hosing down that guy at IGF with a fire extuinguisher, im getting the movie now.

[Win A Rabbit]

combatwombat, i have a friend that does all the lighting and props and everything for the school, and she gets so stressed out when there's a big play coming up. she puts in 3-5 hours a day for almost 2 months leading up to the play, i don't know how she does it.

anyways, i was listening to some elton john, and then i realized that one of his songs is called "don't let the sun go down on me". is it just me, or when he says "don't let the sun go down on me", does the word "sun" remind you of the word "son" ??? if so, the lyrics (http://www.eltonography.com/songs/dont_let_the_sun_go_down_on_me.html) take on a whole new meaning... :lol:

[Jezen]

Sic, that is just sick.

[gastery6]

that is absolutely funny

[Ethan.]

When I was younger, I knew he was gay and thought his lyrics said:
Hold me closer, it's time to dance, son...

But they are really:
Hold me closer, tiny dancer...

[Jezen]

Noooo! He went offline! ARG!

[Jezen]

So this is what I plan on buying very very soon. Maybe tomorrow after school.

[Ethan.]

What is it? A drum sound thing for electric sets?

[Jezen]

Exactly. If I buy it, I will build my own electronic drums, and set them up around my kit Akira Jimbo style.

I think I have an obsession with Akira. He's absolutely 1nsan3.

[Ethan.]

Sounds cool man. An electric kit would be awesome for me because now that school started, my family is always here when I want to play and they hate the volume.

[Jezen]

Ever considered building an e-kit?

I haven't actually. Does it cost less? That's the only problem... money.

[Jezen]

It costs a tonne less.

[Drum Phil]

Can you not do it with triggers an practice pads/homemade pads?

[Jezen]

Thats all it is. Pads, triggers, cables, module.

[Ethan.]

How do you make homemade pads? Mouse pads or something?

[Drum Phil]

Thought so. I saw some guy on hear last year with some attatched to his acoustic. Cant remember who it was like.

[Jezen]

I plan to use PVC shells, mesh heads, and radioshack piezo transducers.

[Loyton]

now that my friend is a sandblasted carp of a lie. :D


eh im back from the dance, i partyed untill 5 in the morning, im STILL high, and i woke up at 3 today. I just had one of the ****ing largest ball trips of my life.

On a riding lawn mower....listening to death cab for cutie. I had like fatty isolation headphones on so i couldnt hear anything and the sun was a spotlight on me... the mower was kicking up grass and dust particles and they where suspended in the light.... and the music... and the movment...

and everything kinda froze and i thought... here in my own mortality i feel immortal in essense.

[Jezen]

What a beautiful line Loyton.

Well anyway, it's 12:14 AM on a school night. I have a tonne of homework to do. Any chance of doin it? No.
I am markin up my 12" snare for drilling. Hopefully I can get it drilled today, and then order the parts I need, then see how much she goes for I suppose.

[Loyton]

anyway, work sucks and avoid getting a job as long as you can (or at least cashiering, there are a ton of douche bags that come by.)

[styler]

lol thats cruel spike, i just applied for a cashiering job a few hours ago...so so cruel

[Plan B.]

Update on the wartner status:

Haggard. Bad news, I can't play drums anymore, at least for a day or two. Maybe more.

Balled all day, in the dirt and mud, luckily I at least had a latex glove and a bandaid over it most of the day. When I got home and I was in the shower, I accidentally bashed it into the wall and tore it open. HUGE pain, it's raw inside, pure raw bloody flesh, with a possible infection.

I can take pictures for you guys if you want.

:lol:

[Loyton]

yea. i do. acually, i would very much like pictures.

[Guitar_fool202]

Hey all long time looker short time poster in the D&P forums.

im looking at buying a standard 5 piece and adding 2 higher toms. what kind of drumset would be suffice and also what are some good toms i could use to add on?

[Loyton]

thats freken awsome plan b. Now i have new masterbation material.

[Double Bass Jim]

Hot damn that hand is TORE up.

[CombatWombat3]

That's SERIOUSLY not healthy man....

[Win A Rabbit]

well my dad just told me that he deposited $100 in my bank account, since he kept offering me a $100 bill to come back and work with him and i kept refusing to take it. he was begging me to go work with him this morning and i said i was going to work on my foot control for drums, which gave me even more reason to practice, since my mom was home.

and i just went and saw my grampa in the hospital, man i hate those places. i actually have to force myself to go into them. i have these little panic attacks and stuff, which usually are terrible since i have raynaud's disease and it gets triggered by little panic attacks like that. and then i had to keep leaving when i was talking to him because i couldn't stand seeing him hooked up to all those things.

anyways, that sucked. the only reason i even went was because that was probably the last time i'll see him. if not, then that's great, but i didn't want him to die without me going to see him.

[Plan B.]

I know what you're talking about, I had to do that same for mine. Of course, I was younger and didn't really understand the extent of it. Doing that now would slay me, things like that really bother me.

[rockindrummer]

Atleast you took the time to go see him. That's all that matters, I bet he liked it a lot.

[styler]

man, go and see him as often as you can, i couldnt stand to see my grandma in a hospital, i didnt see her for a long time cuz i couldnt stand it in her room seeing her in pain, then when i finally went to see her, her alzheimers (sp) got triggered and she forgot who i was, she remembered she loved me and stuff, but she couldnt for the love of god remember who any of us were, or any of her memories and etc, just feelings, i was torn for weeks, she died a week later. i regret more than anything that i didnt go and see her more while she was in the hospital

[Loyton]

O yea? We made a bong outta a kazoo and glass guitar slide.

[rockindrummer]

^ Sweet, sounds interesting. How'd you make it?

[Win A Rabbit]

well i just ranted out a girl who was forcing me all these peta beliefs, movies, articles, you name it. eventually it just pissed me off, and i exploded on her. haha looks like she wont be talking to me for a while now. man i love ranting.

well i'm gonna go work on my foot control, then watch my lamb of god dvd. that'll probably be it for me tonight, so good night mx.

[Japan3gro]

Hope your grandpa is better man I know exactly how that hospital stuff is.

[poppinfresh]

hey sic, did you ever encounter one of those scientology guys. I went to this stress test booth, they were promoting a book called dianetics. This ****ing bastard said to be happy i had to be responsible and take immediate action for any problems that i have and take care of them right away he tried to tell me that i was unhappy and ****. It took me three hours of arguing with him before i realized it was like arguing with a three year old kid who wont accept that santa doesnt exist. so if you ever run into them they really help sharpen your skills and keep oyu on top of your game.

[Tim]

not making a whole new thread on this but i got some sticks and practice pad today. I usually play 5b but im moving to fatback 3a's. i liek them more. they are a good practice stick too. I ended up getting the vic firth pad. the jackass tried to sell me the 12 inch one or whatever the biggest one is but thats retarded. i got the 6.

[Drum Phil]

Bwahahahhaha, sucker!

Ive just woken up and that is not what i need to see first thing in the morning. You sir are on my list :upset:






:lol:

[Tim]

ok so finally i find somewhere with stick control....good ol ebay. haha. its $10 total after shipping. not bad. i saw it on amazon for $9. not with shipping included either. so booya.

[Drum Phil]

Am i the only person who prefers CRT monitors (the huge *** ones) to TFT/Plasma?

[Jezen]

TFT sucks, but the advantage is the added work room.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

I am awfully tired. Stupid bloody bus.


Gah...

[Der Meister]

TFT sucks, but the advantage is the added work room.

tft are amazing, the new ones don't even ghost.

CRT's suck, I have a 21" in my room and I am swapping it for a 15" TFT.

[Jezen]

I hope im not confused. The big flatscreen ones are good, but the LCDs are crud.

[Drum Phil]

I prefer CRT because LCD an tha' always look weird if you look at em at a weird angle

[Drum Phil]

Thoughts are the shadows of feelings, always darker, emptier, and simpler.
I don't care if they're fake or real, I just thank them for showing up at all.
I have black periods. Who does not? But they are not a part of me;
they are not a part of illness, but a part of my being. What am I saying?
I have the courage to have them. Four o' clock in the morning. This sucks.

Any of you lot know where thats from? ;) Bet ya's dont but i reckon its a class extract

[Der Meister]

I prefer CRT because LCD an tha' always look weird if you look at em at a weird angle

mine doesn't

[Drum Phil]

Ah well maybe im just being nostalgic then. Ive had this monitor nigh on 6 years and its not dead yet

[spike9908]

lol thats cruel spike, i just applied for a cashiering job a few hours ago...so so cruel

oh, just you wait till you start. especally if its at a grocery store. people get all pissy if you dont go fast enough or if you start to bag in plastic but they just then decide to tell you paper. and dont get me started on the retards who want paper IN plastic.

[styler]

lol im lucky then, where i live we dont use paper, woohoo go canada

[poppinfresh]

yes, im trading my brass snare for a tama artwood 14 by 6.5

[Jezen]

Unfortunately, I have had to decide against the module.

Instead, i'll pick up a 10" tom, a cymbal grabber, some parts for my repair projects, and some heads. Maybe if I have enough money from the projects, I will get a module then.

[Double Bass Jim]

Sounds good mang, you should really get some new heads first!!

[styler]

^ you do need them BB

[poppinfresh]

oh here are some pics of the moon festival. i used my set with my friends pdp toms since they sounded better, but they didnt because he lied and told me that the heads sounded great. So it was likt playing with 8 and 10 in toms. You can even see the asian lanterns in the back

oh we had a canopy but they had to take it off because it caused them too many problems the day before.

[styler]

lol thats crazy, every person in your band looks like people i know, your bassist looks like my old guitarist, your singer (i think hes singer) looks like my friends old drummer, only kinda chubbier, and your drummer (i believe thats you) looks like this guy that used to play on my drum set, your grip even looks the same, except yours looks like you know what your doing, the other guy just tried to mimmick me, you guys look awesome, any audio?

[Plan B.]

Haha, that set looks really small to me.

Looks super fun though.

[poppinfresh]

no audio, there was no singing it was just announcing what songs where up. But we are plannin on recording a demo since everyone wanted to buy our cd for the ballad.

[Double Bass Jim]

Haha, that set looks really small to me.
Haha it does, looks great though!

[spike9908]

Haha, that set looks really small to me.

Looks super fun though.

when i first looked at it, i thought it was an 18" bass. now it looks like a 20"

[rockindrummer]

Looks awsome poppin.

[Win A Rabbit]

well my friend got drums not too long ago, and i was giving him "lessons" (it was really just me writing down things for him to practice, things to get, etc.) and now he told me he doesn't want me to help him. he said that he doesn't care about technique, and that holding the sticks tight feels better. he said that rudiments don't matter because he'd never use them in a song. he doesn't want to spend money on a practice pad or metronome because he's already broke 4 sticks, and doesn't want to spend all of his money on drums. he just wants to continue playing along to songs, with no guidance at all.

any suggestions? do i just give up on him?

[rockindrummer]

You can't be to much if he is going to be an *** about that kinda stuff. Just tell him how he could actually hurt himself using wrong technique and tell him he should go to a teacher for a little while so that he can get sorted out and won't end up doing some serious damage.

[styler]

tell him its because of his technique that hes breaking his sticks, and that hes an idiot for not wanting to be taught, and that he needs to mature abit and take any advice he can from someone who knows more than he does

[Loyton]

Hey guys. I just got home from a 6 1/2 hours of marching music rehearal. Im liiiiimp.

Hahaha ouch. :lol:

tell him to donate his drums to me and to jump out of a 200 story building face first out of a glass window. :D

[poppinfresh]

^^^^
no


hahhah nice one loyton

[Jomofo]

Hey poppin, is it just the pictures that make that kit look so tiny? Is it a 20" kick?

[poppinfresh]

yeah it is a 20 kick, they are all fusion sizes with a 13 in brass snare, 18 in paistes with a 20 in ride and 14 in highats.

[poppinfresh]

its probably because they are so tall and im so far back.

[Double Bass Jim]

I beleive it is, it's got an illusion to it.

[poppinfresh]

hahah
Who is really bigger, the three men in the front or the man in the back.

turn the page

The man behind the set is actually 16t ft tall, this illusion works by putting midgets in front and putting the man extremely far back.

[poppinfresh]
