[Josiah]

Yes, it is - for many different things.

[spike9908]

I found the new Thrice album today.. (leaked) and I'm still going to buy the record... but what do you guys think of downloading leaks and music in general??

i generally only dl music if its a band that i havent heard much of before and if i like it, i get the CD.

[Josiah]

Bands don't get any money from CD sales. If you want to support the band, mail them a dime if you download the album. That 10 cents is far more then the band would have got from an official album sale.


Support the bands. Not the corperations.

[KWG]

what about concerts?

[Double Bass Jim]

Of course, thats were they make the bucks.

[styler]

well i just bought a yamaha drumset (14X7 snare, 12,13,16 toms, and a 22 bass), a gibraltar rack, 2 snare stands, a 16,18,10X2,8 cymbals 2 pairs of hi-hats, a Track Pedal
and 7 DW/gibraltar cymbal stands for...heres the kicker>>>> $15, i just called this guy off of buysell.com and he said it wasnt a gimmick and that he just wanted to cleanout his basement, its all low quality stuff, i just figure i can make some money out of it :P or use it as a gig-set or something..lol

[poppinfresh]

is there a double pedal, or any pedaal and can i get one snare stand. I need it.

[styler]

if you lived closer id walk it to your house myself once i get the stuff :P

[poppinfresh]

haha, name the price. Keep in mind that i am poppinfresh with four stars. I know live in an apartment and i need to make an electric set and i have very little money. As of now i have four bucks, but i can get enough to satisfy the both of us.

[styler]

lol ill settle for no less than $6.50 canadian!!!

[Tim]

man i didnt get my stick control today. :( . itd better come tomorrow. it should.

[poppinfresh]

hahaha, **** canadia. That might cost a bit.

I might need a tom holder.

Ill pay in american dollars.

[Futuro]

Hey, Have you guys ever expirimented with acacia "Wattle" If so what were your surroundings? I might try it fairly soon, It is supposed to be the closest thing you can come to dying with out actually dying.

[poppinfresh]

???????????????????

[Double Bass Jim]

It is supposed to be the closest thing you can come to dying with out actually dying.
Just go buy a pearl throne, it doesnt get any closer to seeing the light then that.

[Plan B.]

:lol:

Gold.

[poppinfresh]

wiat whats he saying, i dont get it.

drugs?

[Futuro]

Just go buy a pearl throne, it doesnt get any closer to seeing the light then that. I like my Roc-n-soc... But whats wrong with pearl thrones?

??????????????????? Basically im going to smoke DMT out of a bong, and want to now what the best surroundings would be.

[Josiah]

Hey, Have you guys ever expirimented with acacia "Wattle" If so what were your surroundings? I might try it fairly soon, It is supposed to be the closest thing you can come to dying with out actually dying.


Oh yea.. that sounds like something you should do. Not.

Stick to pot or somethin, if you need drugs like that to have fun you need to seek professional help.

DMT is VERY different from acacia... you need to find out exactly what you are doing.

Secondly, having used DMT. Don't.


If you knew what it was, and what you were in for - you wouldn't be asking these questions. You run a potential of thigns you couldn't imagine.

Again do NOT take that drug. You need to understand what you are taking before you take it. You don't understand it, because you're asking about it.

Just for kicks, google it (what an idea?!). It is one of the most extreme halucingens you can take. You need to have experience with other more mild types of drugs.

To put it into terms, a DMT trip is considered taking the whole of an 8 hour LSD trip and condensing it into 15 minutes.

Bad trips on DMT have made people insane for life.

[poppinfresh]

i think these cuban immigrants are a bad influence. I want you to stay away.

[Plan B.]

Have a sitter.

(not a reference to Jims post)

:lol:

[Futuro]

i think these cuban immigrants are a bad influence. I want you to stay away.It is a white friend who has it.

[poppinfresh]

i don't like him.

[Josiah]

I think you should take it, whatever it is. Free you mind!

[Futuro]

@ josiahs big edit: You are right i dont know much about it, But, I did goggle it and they said something bout acacia and DMT having the same effects, And my friend said Dmt Is from acacia.

I think you should take it, whatever it is. Free you mind! I dont want to free my mind, Hell i have tripped on electric koolaide before and i know trips dont free your mind.

[poppinfresh]

dont do it. I learned today in psychology that you will get many holes in your brain, many irreplacable. And you wil most likely never growthem back. I learned all of this other stuff but i dont remember.

[Ethan.]

I'm in my first band now, and we have a gig for halloween at a party. Sounds great right? Well, not exactly.

The problem is, we only had one practice so far. We aren't even 100% for one song yet. I don't know what to do... The guitarist/singer, who sucks anyways, says "oh we'll work it out, don't worry..."

And all he wants to do is covers. And I don't even like the songs that he wants to doa lot. He acts like since he put the band together, he has the most say in everything. It's pissing me off. I'm thinking about quitting, but I think this is my only chance to be in a band for a while. There aren't many guitarists out in this area I know of that like classic rock, and have talent.

...just looking for some ideas. If I quit, maybe I will try some Keith Moon **** during the show and start screwing around and throwing sticks at the guitarists.

[Futuro]

dont do it. I learned today in psychology that you will get many holes in your brain, many irreplacable. And you wil most likely never growthem back. I learned all of this other stuff but i dont remember. Its not like i am eating anthrax.

[poppinfresh]

no, theres just irreversabile damage. I wouldn't do it. But go ahead, just know that poppinfresh with 4 stars said don't do it.

[Futuro]

Josiah what happened in the DMT trip? What surroundings were you in? And Is there such thing as having a good trip on it?

K im gonna go now, Im probably gonna try it some time during the afternoon tommorow after work.

[Josiah]

dont do it. I learned today in psychology that you will get many holes in your brain, many irreplacable. And you wil most likely never growthem back. I learned all of this other stuff but i dont remember.


Holes in your brain?! WTF kinda school do you go to?

Perhaps cell death, particularly in the nuron-receptors, more specifcally the dopeamine and seritonin receptors, wich useally aren't killed but left "stuck on" from drugs such as cocaine, E, heroin, etc

DMT is a naturally occuring chemical in the brain, it is believed to be mostly responsible for the very real halucinations in dreams that most people experience when dreaming.

In that sense, it prob is not bad for you physically.. though it could do irreversable physcological harm. Plus whatever you may do to yourself while on it.

In the case of DMT, it's not totally known how it works. It's not like mushrooms where you are giving your body a toxin, and the effects of that toxin are the "trip". Wich is also very different then LSD, wich can have some rather nasty side effects as well.

To Faith.. You can have pleasurable expeirences with DMT. I don't think you understand the nature of the drug however. With drugs this powerful, your surroundings will dissapear and matter not to you. You will be completelly, 100% out of touch with reality. It is very dangerous in this sense as you may move around, and have no idea what is around you. You could trip on a chair that was right in front of you and break your neck. Or touch a hot stove, fall off a curb, out of a chair, try and walk out of a window.. down the street, etc etc

[poppinfresh]

"Perhaps cell death, particularly in the nuron-receptors, more specifcally the dopeamine and seritonin receptors, wich useally aren't killed but left "stuck on" from drugs such as cocaine, E, heroin, etc"

yes thats what i was referring to. What happens when they stuck on the receptors is that your body cant produce them themselves which causes you, if serotonin receptors are gone, to become depressed later on in life.

[Josiah]

Yes, and "pleasure" becomes less as you've basically fried the pleasure receptors in your brain.

Though long term use of such drugs will eventually do massive cerebral damage anyway, along with numerous other nasty things.

Occasional use is prob not that bad for you, deff not any worse then most peoples daily Mc Donalds or Starbucks habits.


I also wantted to mention. You need to be totally calm and collected going into using such a drug. If you are nervous about taking it. Do Not Take It.

Time lapse is a big issue with DMT, just like people can dream for 4 or 5 mins and to them it was days. People have reported trips on DMT through other worlds that were to them, many years long, in reality they were only tripping for 15 mins.

[Double Bass Jim]

My coffee habit, I think it's taken it's toll over the years, thats alright I just keep drinking more and more. :)

[Jezen]

Just had a night out in a few nightclubs. They didn't ID me. Hooray!

I bought a biiig jug of vodka!

[spike9908]

My coffee habit, I think it's taken it's toll over the years, thats alright I just keep drinking more and more. :)

you know jim, your coffee habit is probably going to kill you by the time your 50. youll be drinking so much coffee that your bladder and kidneys will randomly explode one day.

[Double Bass Jim]

Hahaha yea I know man, the intake is absurd now almost at 3 pots a day.

[bobby__johnny]

ahhh thats nothin...my father is a 4-5 pot a day kinda guy

[Double Bass Jim]

Damn!

[spike9908]

has anyone heard of the band "godspeed you black emperor" i was listening to some of them today(aka my bro doesnt know what a volume knob is, so i could here it as he was playing it on his stereo) and it wasnt too bad. really weird though.

[Josiah]

ahhh thats nothin...my father is a 4-5 pot a day kinda guy


Not for long.

Yes, great band. Their sound is really... epic.

I love having them on in the background if I'm doing work or something.

[gastery6]

Are you gonna do the drugs faith, if you do plaes tell me when your done cuz i want to know if its worth it???

[Josiah]

Are you gonna do the drugs faith, if you do plaes tell me when your done cuz i want to know if its worth it???


For you, no. You already have decided for yourself.

[Massik Kretal]

I have a problem. One of the tension rods on my refinsihed snare keeps loosening after I play. How do I fix this?

[styler]

its prolly your hoops, they either got done wrong when you redid them (not sure if you got new hoops are not) or the screws are loose, or your shell got warped, i believe those are the main reasons..lol

[Plan B.]

Hey guys, I got the new Modern Drummer!

[Josiah]

I have a problem. One of the tension rods on my refinsihed snare keeps loosening after I play. How do I fix this?


Is it the one directly near a rimshot area? That's a common occurence if so.

Nylon washers should elminate that problem for the most part.

[Massik Kretal]

Yeah it's where I rimshot. I'd look into the washers.

[styler]

is it the one with ringo starr?or is there a new one?

[Josiah]

Yup, Ringo's the latest...

[styler]

i thought that magazine was actually one of the better magazines, there all good but i thought it was better

[Plan B.]

Wicked, I'm excited. I've only just started it.

[Seafroggys]

Well if it has Ringo I might buy it off the shelf.

I'm too poor to afford subscriptions, though if I could I would.

[poppinfresh]

hey styler can you beat this price
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=clearance/search/detail/base_pid/449720/
the rest of the mapex stuff is on sale too between 20-30 bucks for top of the line stuff.

[Win A Rabbit]

to the whole drug thing, definately don't take anything until you are 100% ready to take it. without ever having more than a little buzz off of marijuana (while sober) and taking mushrooms, i was completely unprepared for the feeling that mushrooms brought on. for about 3 hours, i had almost no control over myself, and the comedown was terrible. it freaked me out so bad. i had the misconception that mush would be like pot, just stronger. man i was wrong. i'm just glad my parents were gone for that weekend, and that i did them in my own house, or i would have been totally f'ucked.

anyways... i've been cutting back on my eating alot lately, i usually just eat a half bowl of cereal in the morning, a sandwich (on "carb counting" bread) for lunch, and usually a sandwich again for supper. occasionally i'll have a little bit of whatever my mom's cooking, but i'm usually not home for supper anyways. other than that, i'm just drinking water and chewing gum. i find that if i'm chewing gum, i don't have the desire to eat until i'm actually hungry, which is good because i used to eat when i was bored all the time.

[Double Bass Jim]

Yea im down to one meal a day thats it, I eat one time and then im done. Once in a great while i'll have a snack or somthin. It's pretty easy to do once ya get used to it.

[styler]

yet you have like 15 cups of coffee a day jim how does that work?lol, and nah, not for that quality poppinfresh, the stands im getting are really bad quality :lol:

[Double Bass Jim]

Haha hey it works man, get hungry? Start a brewin' :lol:

[Seafroggys]

I'm trying to cut back too, but I have blood sugar problems.

I usually try and stay away from meals, its healthier to spread your food intake across the whole day though, as long as its possible to do so.

[Win A Rabbit]

is it bad if i'm only getting a fraction of the whole "2000 calories a day" ? in an average day, i'll only get about 5-600 calories, i'm just worried since calories are used for energy, will this affect me in any bad ways?

well i was supposed to work tomorrow, but i'm not so sure i am anymore. last weekend, my dad offered me $200 cash to work this weekend doing inventory and such. but i haven't talked to him since tuesday, so i don't know if he'll remember to take me into work with him tomorrow. oh well. i could go for some rest anyways.

question: would you guys rather work at a place like tim horton's... OR... at a movie rental store? these are the jobs i've narrowed myself down to applying at, but it's kind of like the lesser of 2 evils here.

[Sam Bredeson]

Dude, how can you eat only 600 calories a day? And, BTW, a 2000 calorie diet is for people who are trying to lose weight- a typical diet is 2500 calories.

I probably eat like 3000, and I'm lovin every minute of it!

[Josiah]

That's really not possible to only intake 600 calories a day.

Most people are morons when it comes to food though.


"Calories" really means nothing. You could eat 1,500 calories of great food wich would give you far more energy then 3,000 calories of crap food (IE Double Western Bacon Cheese Burger or starbucks frap)

I try and eat near 5k a day, but I'm growing like a weed and lift a lot. That's a very heavy protein diet as well. Lots of fruits too! And tuna.. love tuna. Also got my multi-vit's and my "mud", wich is protein/oat's mix.

[Win A Rabbit]

Dude, how can you eat only 600 calories a day?
well i'm trying to catch my weight before i get to the point where i'd call myself "fat". so if i'm hungry, i'll have a sandwich with cheese, lettuce, and a tiny bit of meat instead of putting some pizza pops in the microwave or something. and instead of juice and pop, i'll just drink water all day.

and it is possible for me to intake 600 a day.

a cup and a half of rice krispies is something like 110 calories, and the slices of bread i eat sandwiches on are 70 each.

so that's 110 in the morning, then the rest of the day is 280 + a little bit of cheese, and 2 thin slices of ham.

[Double Bass Jim]

It's all about the willpower man, you don't need to eat that much in one day. I can sit around and slam down 10 cheesburgers like no one else but thats just not good. Gotta watch what your eating.

[Josiah]

You do realize that by not eating your body will actually store more fat then if you ate more?


Your body goes "I'm not getting enough to eat, this isn't good. I don't know when I'll get more. I should store up what I have and try and hold on to it."

Eat a healthy, well balanced diet and excerise. You'll be just fine. Want to look like a star? Well eat very healthy, a lot, work out a lot.

People seem to think it's a 1 facet thing though. It's 2 facets. Diet AND excerise.

You can eat a ton, and run a lot.. you'll be lean. Eat a ton, sit around a lot. You'll be fat.

Eat a nice amount, workout a lil bit. You'll be normal.... actually no, you'll be better then normal cause so many people are fat now.


Of course.. you will always be limited and fighting against your genetics. If you are dutch, don't ever expect to be able to keep a tan.. ya dig?


I won't ever look like arnold, but I got a goal in mind that I think is good.

ya if you want to lose weight eat a half a meal every 2 hours or so. the more often you eat the more likely you can burn fat. :thumb:

[Win A Rabbit]

so what would you recommend i eat? i know to stay away from fast foods and everything.

what to stay away from? carbs? calories? something else? there's millions of diets out there, each saying to stay away from a different thing, and my mom's tried almost all of them, but she hasn't seen any major results.

and what would be the best workout routine? unfortunately i don't have much at my house (a bike and a one-person trampoline) and it's starting to get cold out here. would you still recommend jogging? how long each day?

(as you can tell, i've never really put myself on a diet, and i work out when i can, but i've never really set a schedule for myself in order to get results)

[Josiah]

ya if you want to lose weight eat a half a meal every 2 hours or so. the more often you eat the more likely you can burn fat. :thumb:


There is no "likely", it's down to a science of exactness at this point.


sic, just eat normal healthy foods. Have that sandwich, put some meat on it. Some lettace.. etc

By the way, it's not a diet.. it's a lifestyle. It's your everyday eating and movement habits.

When you go somewhere, park your car in the back of the lot so you have to walk a lil bit. Take a walk around the block, maybe just run around it a few times.

It's not too hard really, stay away from very fatty foods, candy, etc.. trim the fat off your steak, chicken.. have some nice brown or mixed rice.

For breakfest I like a bowl of cereal, with maybe 75cc's of plain oats, half/cup of frosted flakes (i know I have a weakness for them), somes trawberries or other fresh fruit. Maybe I'll have an apple or a can of peaches. I'll have a glass of water and a glass of OJ (both 32oz), take my mutli-vit and a few other things.

Of course, I load up on food. But healthy eating is fairly easy and it's CHEAPER then eating fast food!!

I'd recomend checking out the bodybuilding.com forums, there is a TON of nutritional information, meal plans, etc etc on there.

[Seafroggys]

Carbs are underrated. Atkins is an idiot. I love my Carbs (breads, rolls, waffles, muffins, etc.) i probably have more carbs than anything else.

On that note, instead of cutting back one thing (like nowadays its carbs, 10 years ago it was fats) cut back EVERYTHING in balance. Your body needs a certain balance of nutrients to stay healthy. Having low carb intake is not good no matter what.

[rockindrummer]

Well today was awsome. A friday which ment short day at school and I got to go down to L&M after school. I picked up some new heads, coated emps for batters and clear amb for resos. I also got a 10" K splash. I love this thing it fits in really nicely with my other cymbals and is really fun to play around with and accent on every once and a while.

[Jezen]

Dammit you make it sound like a normal day! You rich bastard!

Hello! Im Ryan Adriano. Im 18 years old. I live in Missouri. I love to play drums (drums don't like me! I'm not that bad but im not "UBER SKILLED DRUMMER" lol) I've been playing for almost a year.

[Jezen]

Welcome to the boards bro! Have a good one.

[Raime10]

Thanks and good morning to you British Boy! :) I jus got home from work. I always hev 1 1/2 to 3 hr overtime. Night shift should be light when it comes to workin activities but its different when you work on a medical lab. Cuz people get their specimens drawn by day and processed by midnight! -_-

[gimp fest]

he must be! just casually pic up new set of heads and a k splash like..meh..

:(

[rockindrummer]

For everyones info I am not loaded. Just an average 14 year old. I had been planing to go down there from the beggining of this week to pick a splash and heads. I had just gotten paid for doing a bunch of work up at my friends cabin, so what else to spend it on, but drums. I guess it does sound a bit casual after rereading it.

Thanks Jim. I havn't gotten a chance to put the new heads on yet but the splash sounds awsome, and i'm sure the new combo will too.

[PowerStamp]

whoo


So I just got my band on the bill to play with Embrace Today at El Torreon on December 3rd, and we're playing with Across Five Aprils on thursday.


Tonight I was scheduled to work 4-11pm, and I was telling somebody else that last night and they checked and the manager that closes tonight had switched me to 6-2(pm to am)! Without asking me or even telling me!
All just to benefit herself with another closer.

WTF?!

I'm considering screwing her over and going in at 4 anyways, or going in at 6 and complaining a lot.

[Win A Rabbit]

well it turns out that my dad didn't forget to take me into work with him today, he just decided that i didn't put enough effort in to re-state that we had arranged that i was working this weekend. i told him "i'll work on the 1st and 2nd" but i guess i have to re-tell him every day to make that valid. and to put icing on the cake, he's home for a max. of 15 minutes before he goes to bed, and i'm usually out or unaware that he's even home.

f'uck it, i'm done completely at the golf course. i thought maybe i'd be nice and help him out for a weekend or two, since i'm quitting there anyways, but whatever. if he's gonna act like that, then f'uck him.

/rant.

tomorrow i think i'm going shopping with my lady friends, as usual on a sunday :lol: and i think i'll give them a call right away, since i told them i was probably working, so they won't be calling me any time soon.

[poppinfresh]

oh i was supposed to go shoe shopping today. Then i realized that i didnt have any money.

[Jezen]

Music school tomorrow! :D

Perhaps they might give me some money.....

Haha, Thanks :-).

Haven't been in this thread for awhile, decided to stop by and say hey.

[poppinfresh]

oh then we were in the street and then my friend chases this ccar and he stops after a few times, gets out. comes up to my friend and says,"HEY wass yo prob-lem" it was pretty funny

then i got this hand scrub and lotion and now my hands are smooth as butta.

[Drum Phil]

Well im done with trying new setups. My kits staying the way i used to have it.

[Jezen]

I'm gonna be kissing my money goodbye.

I just bought 10" and 8" rotos, and a 13" R.I.M.S. mount for the 13" Premier tom I bought last night. Holy crud :|

[styler]

bb = broke

[Jezen]

:o Not true!


I still have about 20 pounds....

[rockindrummer]

^ :rolleyes:


So what's everyone up to today?

[Fuzzy]

Chilling as much as possible. Tomorrow I go to the dentist at 9:00 AM to get my right front tooth repaired. On Tuesday of last week I slammed it on my bass drum harness in marching band (the thing you mount the bass on.) and took a nice big chunk out of it. They are gonna "bond" it or whatever, then I'll get a cap in my 20's.

[Fuzzy]

Oh, and we had our second competition of the season on Saturday (BCI, Bedford County Invitational. Since our school is in Bedford county, along with two other bands, the three local bands were just exhibitionists.) We still got judged though, and from what I overheard our band director saying on the bus ride home last night, we did MUCH better than any of us had thought. The percussion judge was a really hard-baller, very in-your-face. He was at least a foot away from me most of the time, that or the two snares. I which I had the chance to run into him, but I didn't. Oh well. Cheers.

[rockindrummer]

^ Sounds good fuzzy. That's cool that you guys did pretty well.

[Fuzzy]

Aye. The bus ride home was pretty swell too :naughty: Me and my piccolo player ^_^

[rockindrummer]

Hahaha sounds like a good time :naughty:

[Jezen]

Oh man it's so dayumn hard to find a roto tom track! :evil:

[Win A Rabbit]

well i've got nothing to do today, all my friends are gone at the moment. i was going to go shopping with my lady friends, but they were shopping for bras and other under-garments, and they seemed like they didn't want me to go, so i let them have their privacy. i went shopping with my one friend yesterday, and she got some nice cougar pants. i was bugging her the whole night about them. :lol:

well i think i'm going to apply for a job at panago, and if not, then movie gallery. i need money real bad.

[styler]

oh ****, you got lucky, i tripped and chipped my teeth on the ground, the shattered so i have porcelain veneer fron teeth

[Drum Phil]

I have to have one of those poppin. Do they hurt?

Also my uncles currently on his deathbed :(

And my girl has carpet burn on her knee's :naughty:

[Voodoo Rabbit]

(To when it was 'Calorie' talk)

A lot of people seem to worry, JUST about calorie's these days, but don't realise it's the amount of fat and carbohydrate intake that is also a major factor in diet.
Carbs can be your WORST enemy.
And it's really easy to have 600 or less calories in a day.
Infact, I did it a few weeks ago.

As people have said before, it's all about your Willpower.
----
So, today was band practice, and we got TOTALLY stuck when trying to figure out parts for this one song.

The funniest quote of the day :- 'Angel, My pooh stick's come out the other end!'

And my girl has carpet burn on her knee's
Ew.

[Fuzzy]

oh ****, you got lucky, i tripped and chipped my teeth on the ground, the shattered so i have porcelain veneer front teeth
Super lucky my friend. It was a series of events that led to it.

1) For some reason we were marching block with just harnesses on.
2) My bass harness is partially broken and very loose, not form fitting at all
3) Somehow my arm hit the harness, causing it to swing up into my mouth.
4)The right front tooth sticks out just the slightest bit more than the other (other than that, I have perfect teeth), so the steel bar hit that tooth and not both.

I opened my hand and I had white enamel powder all over it. I proceeded to spit out bits of my tooth. o_o'

[Jezen]

When I was a little skate pro, I tried to pop a frontside indy 180 from a quarter the rollin at the local park. It was concrete. Being Australia, I hit a gumnut and fell all the way to the bottom straight onto my teeth. Chipped the concrete. Got my front two beavers bonded. Very very lucky I didn't kill the nerves. If I did, my teeth would have gone black and I would need falsies.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

^ Hah.
It would have added to your Pirate-esque-ness.

[poppinfresh]

I have to have one of those poppin. Do they hurt?

haha
you have to get like four shots, to numb your mouth, you end up having your whole face numb. The hsots feel kind of weird but theres not too much pain. You dont feel most of it but you get this hollow feeling in you and you cant eat anyhting for four hours or something so stock up. Make sure you sont eat anything that will make you burp.

My story isnt that interesting, i was just racing my friend jason to the door(4th grade) and then i tripped on this brick planter box and went down face first, i spit out all this crap too very much like you did, and i kept finding more teeth in my mouth so i had to keep spitting.

[Drum Phil]

I know what the shots feel like :(

This tooth i shattered on the ice about 8 years ago. I had it repaired and then had the fake part punched off, then it was repaired again and the same happened. So now they're trying a veneer. Oh yeah and first time i had it repaired, the needle snapped in my mouth.

[Raime10]

Do you perhaps think that his death somehow supernaturally triggered off your lesbianism?

Nah.
I blame that on frequent exposure to the Spice Girls and Hippies during vital stages of my development.

nah it was jesus.


So who wants to hear my overview of our marching bands first compition of the year?

[Drum Phil]

Has anyone ever tried rushkinova vodka? Its a deep blue colour and its evil. The missus challenged me to shot a row of shots of it cause she couldnt handle the evil taste. So me being the genius i am, did it. I may as well have drank paint stripper

[Loyton]

eh rubbing alcohol is the real stuff.

always smell your hard liquor first. if it burns when you smell it, multiply the burnage by 10 for your throat

[Drum Phil]

I hadnt thought of that. Maybe i should just not trust women when they tell me what to drink.

[Win A Rabbit]

i've never really been burned by alcohol. a little bit here and there, but once it gets to the bloodstream, it's like it never burned me at all. :lol:

[Loyton]

Hmmm heres a question... Do certain types of liquor have differnent effects? such as yagar gives you more of a angry riled up paronoid induction and say.... vodka more of a laid back one? or is being drunk being drunk.

[Win A Rabbit]

i'm sure they all have minimal different effects, but what i've noticed is that alcohol in general will magnify whatever emotions you felt before you drank. for example, if you're mad at someone, you're going to want to fight them once you're drunk. if you're sad, you'll be an emotional wreck once you're drunk. you get the idea. (of course this doesn't happen all the time, but from what i've seen, this is generally the case)

i know that things like absinthe will make you hallucinate. man i want some absinthe.

[poppinfresh]

oh im getting this jacket, i found it for 29.99
http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5742&pid=299892

[Loyton]

yea cause im a pretty experienced drinker, (cutting down now) and yagar made me feel really differnent than any other alcohol. Strange.

[Drum Phil]

absinthe isnt all its cracked up to be. You're lucky if you can see after that stuff though

[Loyton]

I like the way i look in womens clothing. Jackets and stuff that is, not dresses.

[poppinfresh]

oh me too, i borrow my woman friends clothes a lot. Im starting up my own colection

[The Fiction We Live]

I had a friend who used to get drunk and wear girls underwear... weird kid.

either way, the alcohol supresses your reactions to all stimulants. the very essence of the drug is a drepressant. thats why you stumble, get dizzy, and such

as far as its effects, like this quote, your initial state of mind, but also your surroudings play a role too

as for absinthe....man...your crazy

Absinth isnt that bad. My brother had it with his friends. He didn't see anything wierd.

[Loyton]

Yea well theres a difference between real absinth and the BS they pass off as absinth these days.... they put green food coloring in vodka and lame things like that. The REAL stuff is green from the plant, and is really really REALLY hard to get your hands on these days. Also, your supossed to do it correctly with the sugar plate and all that for the whole 9 yards.

[Double Bass Jim]

3 words.

Don't do it.

My brother got the real one. We got it from an absinth bar in france.

[poppinfresh]

no this is for general discussion

but i have two
my 20 hhx prototype ride that i got custom made
and my 18 in signature fast crash.

[Double Bass Jim]

I don't really have a fav cymbal, but I can't forget the first time I hit an EVO ride... DAMN

[poppinfresh]

i remember when i went in to get my aa metal x ride, i tried the dry crisp a week before and the guy told me once i get this i wont need to replace it this is top of the line. Then i went in and i completely forgot about it, i played the aa metal x and thought OMG thats prefect and bought it and left.

[Win A Rabbit]

well i spent most of my sunday in my pajamas, watching tbs. the 6 straight hours of seinfeld, i watched 5 of the 6. :lol: anyone else watch it? seinfeld's by far my favorite show ever. what's everyone else's thoughts on it?

Tie between:

New Beats (what a surprise)

and a Zilj K Thin Dark Crash 17". This is what I played on in jazz band in high school, one of the best sounding cymbals I HAVE EVER HEARD. My only regret is that is does not fit into my playing style and tonal specifications.

Is my best bet to just make the resonate head tighter?
