Drum Stronghold

[Double Bass Jim]

Tonight was good times at the drum off, Didnt win but met alot of great players. I talked to an older guy in his later 40's who had similar background with me, big peart and carl palmer fan he ended up winning and a younger black kid was runner-up. I guess it was really close as far as the voting went. Out of the 3 years i've played in it this one was the best got alot of nice complements after... good times. :)

[Win A Rabbit]

i got in a few fistfights in soccer too, but that had nothing to do with the coaching. mostly just me taking charge and setting the mood for the rest of the game. if there was one kid going around hitting all the little kids on our team, i was the guy who'd be right on his side, pissing him off the whole time. eventually they snap, and start throwing punches. it's really funny too. i'm always the good guy though, since i don't throw the punches first.

and congrats jim, the experience is what matters.

(i know i keep asking, but can you get rid of my stars please?)

[poppinfresh]

video???

did you win anything?

[LoneStarDrummer]

i tell you what soccer is a really tough game. in fact it's number one on the list of the most dangerous sports.

i used to play for about 6 years and was in love with the sport, but they didn't offer it in highschool until my junior year and i had already lost some of my interest so i didn't play. wish i had though.

[Plan B.]

Awesome Jim.

:cool:

[Double Bass Jim]

They won't let you in with cameras into the store this year, and nope didnt win anything.

[rockindrummer]

That's cool jim. As you said it's a great experience and well theres always next year, to show up gc.

TGP that reminded me of how my guitarist broke his collar bone playin rugby yesterday. It sucks so much he can't play guitar for 3 weeks or somthing. So now we won't jam for way to long of a time, in the end it will be about 2 months total or so.

Sic I'm normally one of those guys to, when I play mid. I get right up in your face and talk back quite a bit, I got some other kid to get a red card by retaliating back at me. I've stoped that, somewhat, this year as I got kicked off the team i'm on now a couple years ago because of my attitude, so I figure it's a good team and i'd rather stay on it why not just not get so mad on the feild.

[poppinfresh]

oh. Ok. well uh maybe if you listen to enough whitesnake you will win next year.

haha thas exactly what i used to do. Everyone on the other teams hated me. I got this one mexican guy so made that he just ran straight for me, i ended up flipping over because we were running at eachother and my brain decided to turn off or something.

[rockindrummer]

^ haha. One game two years ago this little fat kid was being really cheap so I started to push at him and do the same thing he did to me, except I beat him down the wing :p Then totaly slide tackled me from behind so I was super pissed at him as he didn't even get a warning from the ref. I walked up to him and started pushing him a bit then he just pushed me back and was super pissed. As he was walking away to get back into position I shoved from behind, he was then so pissed that while he was on the ground he kicked out both my knees and I fell on him. The ref saw this and called us both over, he obviously knew that I had done somthing to the kid eventhough I don't think he saw it. He talked to both of us and then after he finished the kid started to walk away, the ref called him back and showed him the red card, he showed me a yellow and asked for my name and stuff, but while he was doing that I couldn't help laughing as the kid that got a red card was walkin off the feild crying! It was one of the funnier moments ever playing soccer. That little pansy was such a cheap bitch and then when he got what he deserved he couldn't even handle it :lol:

[poppinfresh]

hahaha was his name julian?
there was this fat kid on my team, he was the clumsiest player that i have ever seen, i dont know why he was playing soccer. During a game for some reason he went for the sam ball as he did, he endd up stepping on my toes and kept running into me so i ended up falling on my back while he was still standing on my toes. he cried about that.

[rockindrummer]

^ haha, I don't know the kids name. I very doubt it was though, cause I live in a different country than you :p

[poppinfresh]

i think he was australian and just moved over but this was 3-4 years ago.

[rockindrummer]

Well I'm in canada, lol. maybe he knows damo or shu though.

[Double Bass Jim]

Ahh it's not about that or winning really, when we were all in the back before drawing names we were all talkin, real good bunch a guys too! The older guy in his 40's and a younger black guy my age got along and started talkin for awhile, just about how playing in these is fun and we got each others numbers and stuff so we can jam out at the house was pretty cool! Everyone pretty much agreed that more then anything everyone there is there to have a good time which we all did. I guess the judging came down to 4 were the scores were so close the judges had to make a pick, the guy they picked was the older man and he was a good choice he had some style and played very good, im going to watch him in the store finals.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

*Sounds like you had a good time.

Plus, It's the experience what matters.

[Double Bass Jim]

For sure this was deffinelty the best out of the 3 years i've been in it.

My local is Cheshunt, where i live :D But it is cheaper to go to a underground station (Oakwood/Cockerfoster's are really easy to get to, go to pottor's bar on the m25, come off, and it is the 3rd exit, then follow that road), then to get the train from my local station in to london.

oh, our teachers were smarter when they went on strike, they woke up early and picketed but never cut out striking time from there teaching time.

[rockindrummer]

I'm only in grade 9 so it doesn't matter for me at all. I won't have to miss any of summer break unless they strike for a month or whatever but I doubt that'll happen.

I answered your post in that one thread.

i get 3 classes with 1 break. we get a 5 minute break, but that's the time it takes me to go to my locker, get my stuff, and go straight to my next class. my classes are in the 3 farthest ends of the school, and one of them is even in a portable outside. :lol:

[Jezen]

I would prefer that soo much! There is absolutely NOTHING to do at break at this stupid school. 3 lessons, half and hour break, 1 lesson, half hour lunch, half hour break, 2 lessons, 15 min break, 1 lesson.

That is absolutely ridiculous.

[Win A Rabbit]

thats a messed up schedule. how long are your classes?

[Jezen]

45 mins each. My school is horrid. There are only 200 people in it. There are only 9 people in my class. Yes, 9.

What would be the difference between the canadian ones and any other one? It was such an awsome deal though, my band teacher had them just sitting around and was using B8's instead. So he offered them to me cheap. They also have a giant beat crash, one of the ones before the line was discontinued. I am determind to get that from them by the end of this year, as it too just sits there not getting used at all.

they are the second best ones behind the istanbuls. I meant it in a positive way though, these are no modern K's.

wtf.

[Win A Rabbit]

whoa, read this. i just found it. very very weird.

The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in England, and English expatriates built the US railroads. Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used. Why did 'they' use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing. Okay! Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts. So who built those old rutted roads? The first long distance roads in Europe (and England) were built by Imperial Rome for their legions. The roads have been used ever since. And the ruts? Roman war chariots first made the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels and wagons. Since the chariots were made for, or by Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Thus, we have the answer to the original question. The United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches derives from the original specification for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Specifications and bureaucracies live forever. So, the next time you are handed a specification and wonder which horses rear came up with it, you may be exactly right. Because the Imperial Roman war chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the back ends of two war-horses. And now, the twist to the story...There's an interesting extension to the story about railroad gauges and horses' behinds. When we see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. Thiokol makes the SRBs at their factory at Utah. The engineers who designed the SRBs might have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory had to run through a tunnel in the mountains. The SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track is about as wide as two horses’ behinds. So, the major design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined by the width of a Horse's a'ss!

[rockindrummer]

#19 is okay, i perfer more of a tear drop style. as far as a color sceme goes, i think a blue sparkle with black hardware would look real nice. i've always liked blue with black or black with chrome hardware.

[billdrum]

I've never liked the bowtie lugs. I didn't really consider them seriously for my Conaways. I've always liked the look of the black hardware with lighter colors like natural maple, or silver/grey, or yellow.

Hey everyone. I saw a Ludwig snare in the pawnshop the other day. It was a 5x14, and even though I'm more a fan of deep snares, this is from the 60's, and was only $74....

Only problem is, it didn't have a model name on it or anything. It was a torquise-ish metal snare...It looked kind of like a supraphonic...but I wasn't sure if it was. I think goosefilms has the same snare, but I can't recall if his is a supraphonic, or if it was this off-torquise colour. I know my description is vague...but any help would really be appreciated.

I saw that story in the news, that's a freakin' big snake. Screw living in the Florida everglades.

I saw that in my local newspaper. Apparently the snake tried to eat the croc and while the croc was thrashing while inside the snake, it ripped through the snake's body. It's a great picture!

It didn't. I reported it several times when it first picked up.

[Double Bass Jim]

It's not that big of a deal, they use a spamming bot to flood it up. We've had it happen before. It'll be cleared up, it takes longer since the bots and the article sections are more difficicult to clean up.

[billdrum]

Fun. BB, I know you reported it before. Here's your props: *props for BB*

I just saw it for the first time earlier and was amazed at the amount of spam.

I just noticed your picture billdrum, it's just starting to get cold here...

More like indoor season for me.

[spike9908]

apparentally one of my brothers friends who is a drummer is going on a 2 year mission trip and is selling his kit. im gonna check out the snare and cymbals tomorrow and see if theres anything i want. i think he has 2 AAX crashes and AAX hats, and some china and bell. im gonna mainly look at crashes and china.

[billdrum]

We play outdoors alot in the fall. Big battle coming up on October 22nd. Fall is great for woodsball because you can wear your camo over a thin layer of clothing and not get too hot and sweaty.

[rockindrummer]

Awsome bill, i've always wanted to go paintballing but it's pretty expensive and i've just never gotten around to it.

[billdrum]

I've only started playing in the last couple of years. I started out with a pretty inexpensive gun bought on E-bay (Viewloader Orion) and just recently upgraded to the one pictured in my avatar (Spyder Rodeo in Camo). It doesn't cost us any field costs to play because our friends own the land we play on!

[Der Meister]

I've only been paintballing once, I got shot in the balls from point blank range whilst defending the fort and then shot in the neck, on bare skin, in the gap between the overalls and your mask. It hurt alot :upset:

[rockindrummer]

^ If that happened to me, that would have been the first and only time i'd ever go paintballing.

[billdrum]

We don't allow point blank shooting. You have to tag them if you're that close. I got hit in the collarbone once, that was the worst place I ever got hit. That stung for a while.

That's crazy. The time that went into doing the finish was probally so much. I don't think that i'd really want it on my kit but it looks amazing.

Updated recordings of my band should be coming soon!
We're actually thinking of heading into the studio soon with no shows in October or Novebmer (and everywhere almost completely full) until December 3rd, but for now I plugged our busted recorded (as a mixer) into my new computer downstairs and the quality kicks ***

Awesome. I might go check out the stuff there during the week. Cheers PLK.

[Drum Phil]

No problemo :cool: its just behind Big W on portrack lane :)

Y'know, i dont think i ever introduced myself properly. The names maz, im about to hit 18 and im from the loverly city of middlesbrough (famous for cheap heroin and underage hookers :rolleyes: ) Been playing 4 years on or off. Only really got serious in the last 2 years. Play on a 1984 ludwig with a nice deep pearl snare. Mainly play punk and ska but like a bit of metal from time to time. I listen to punk, ska, hXc, classical, rock, trance and industrial :) Im a man of many traits

[poppinfresh]

haha hardcore is hXc now hahahahahha

oh uh welcome to the forums.

[Jezen]

I'm most likely going for an audition in M'bro on Tuesday. The band is offering me 4 gigs a week, for 70 quid each gig.

I could be earning 280 quid a week. Holy fark.

[Drum Phil]

haha when i say hardcore i dont mean this modern crap. Im talking old old 80's hardcore in the vain of agnostic front, minor threat and such


Well done BB. What band is it?

[Jezen]

I have no idea. This guy contacted me on musofinder (I think..) and said hes looking for a drummer. He said he regularly gigs aswell. Wait I might have the original e-mail.

*opens inbox*

Ahh good I still got it.

Originally e-mailed by catseyes
were looking for a drummer we play about four gigs a week travel the country pay is 70 to eighty pounds per night but we are based in the north east,we have a good laugh,good lads in the band and you get paid ,if ya interested giz a call *********** or e mail me back cheers

[Drum Phil]

Well i'll be interested to see how it goes :) Where/When you auditioning?

Im currently tryin to get together another 3 people for a static-X style techno-metal band :)

[Jezen]

Im auditioning at his studio this Tuesday me thinks. I found his profile.

Catseyes' profile on MusoFinder
i work as a singer at the moment, played guitar professionally and piano, mainly do a lot of holiday parks and nightclubs,clubs.was signed up to bmg records,and emi publishing a number of years ago, just got the inspiration back to start writing again,never seem to send anything off but love to write songs and play them to people its great to be recording again but its also great to perform live on stage,its a blessing doing any kind of music and making a living out of it.

[Drum Phil]

Hmmmmm well i'd watch myself if i were you. But thats because i dont trust boro folk in general

[Win A Rabbit]

well i'm hung over. i tried some bacardi limon last night, it was actually really good. tasted like halls cough drops. anyways, that got me pretty messed up, then i had a colt and a nice big cigar, which got me even more messed up. everyone went home at 11, so i came home and passed out in bed while watching the chili pepper's concert i taped. woke up 3 hours later, got undressed, went to sleep. then my friend called me this morning at 9:30 to go for mcdonald's breakfast, which i haven't had in over 5 years. i got an egg mcmuffin, yum. then we went and got pictures from last night developed, and hung out at her house. now i'm at home, and i'm going to go shower right away.

[Jezen]

I got a soundclip of his recorded stuff too!

[CombatWombat3]

Alright folks, tonight is homecoming. It's going to be amazing, I'm going with my girlfriend. She's wearing a black and red dress, I'm wearing a black suitcoat, black pants, grey shirt and a red tie. I'm picking her up at 5;15, dinner is at 6:00. Afterwards, we're going to my friends house and hanging out all night with a couple friends.

Oh, and my band got 3rd last night in our school talent show. We were REALLY surprised, it was a good time though. The only bad thing was, about 4 hours before we performed I got stung by a bee on the palm of my hand, kinda near the thumb. So it hurt like a bitch while playing.

Anyway, wish me luck tonight.

[Drum Phil]

Good luck man. Use protection ;) haha oj but hey, have a nice night and treat her like a princess :)

no problemo, my friend.

well my mom's finally leaving, i can finally practice drums, yay. i hate practicing when my family's home because our basement has no soundproofing whatsoever at the moment, so i feel guilty that no one else can really watch tv, hear the phone ring, listen to music, etc. so i just wait until they leave before i sit behind my kit. me and my dad are going to be finishing the basement right away, when it snows.

my hands smell like potatoes. i was peeling them at my friends house (i'm amazing at peeling potatoes by the way) and i have that smell on my hands. i washed them twice, and showered, but i can still smell potatoes.

It's a welcoming back.
Usually its about school spirit yaddabull, and then you have a formal dance where a king, queen, prince, princess, bearess, bear, and 6 courting people are chosen.

The only bad part is that its on right when my exams are, so I've had to speak to them about some of the dates but they are understanding guys and said they'll bump some dates around so I'm not totally stressed.

It'll be our first paying gig as well, w00t!
