Drum Stronghold

[Win A Rabbit]

yee haw, we're in the ten thousands. :chug:

today i bought sgt. pepper's and abbey road, and a voice recorder for my drums. i just got it with the intention of bringing it back within 15 days, money back, and i tried it out, and it's not half bad. the guy got me to try out the more expensive one, but there's nothing on it i'd really need for recording drums, so i think i'll end up with the $30 one. i tried 2 mic placements, and i've got a general idea where the best spot is for it, but i'll do that tomorrow, since it's 10 past 10 already.

everyone watch stella tonight. comedy central, 1 hour 20 minutes from now.

everyone watch it, or i will severely hurt you all.

oh, and bb, you got the 10,000th reply, if that's any consolation...

who am i kidding, you lost. plan b won. :lol: :thumb:

[Double Bass Jim]

[Double Bass Jim]

Ahhh sounds good, havent had crackers and cheese in a long time.

[Win A Rabbit]

i could definately go for some crackers and cheese right away, those swiss cheese crackers are so good, but i despise real swiss cheese... odd...

[poppinfresh]

i got the jacket. Actually i had to get two of them. I spilled thai food on it right after i got out of the mall. I went to spot treat it with tide and it left white stains on it. So i had to get another one. Thank benny greb it was on sale or i would be screwed as hell.

Keine Lust is a great vid, but I still see the Du Reichst So Gut vids as my favourites from Rammstein. Ich Will was a good one.

[Drum Phil]

I aint seen the proper version yet. Just the live one

My mom bought the greatest brick of cheese on earth.
It's smoked white cheddar with chunks of spicy beef in it.
It looks a little like throw up, but it's so good.

[Drum Phil]

**** me and my lactose intolerance

[spike9908]

^man, i couldnt live without cheese. that must really suck.

[Drum Phil]

and chocolate :upset:

Ahh that sounds good!

I gotta get me some cheese.

[Tim]

gouda cheese and sausage is the best

[Janeway]

I like gouda...

I dunno. My tolerance of cheese has improved a bit.
Now the only two I can't eat are sharp cheddar, and swiss.

[The Ska Man]

So, I think I decided what ride I'm getting come christmas time. Its gonna be a 18" Istanbul Agop Traditional Jazz ride. What do you guys think?

[Double Bass Jim]

Nice dark wash = :cool:

[spike9908]

jim, have you tried the paiste 2oo2 deep full rides. nice darkish wash there.

[Brokensticks]

How about these Vault crashes what would be a nice main for Greenday/Guns N Roses type music 16"?

[spike9908]

vaults are great crashes for most styles of music.

has anyone played the vault rides yet?

[Drum Phil]

Didnt know that made them. I wanna try one of the AA 30" rides.

Anyway i think its time for a quick smoke now the rains let off

[Brokensticks]

Smoke thats so bad for you :lol:

[spike9908]

[spike9908]

welcome, im sorry about your set, do you have any pictures of it? Im kind of interested to see what kind of drums you get made there and out of what woods its made and all that stuff.

[Drum Phil]

Yeah i quit. But then people started dropping dead, friends ditched me etc etc so i went back to it to quit at a more convenient time.

And drummer54, point out the obvious again and you'll find out just how bad a drumstick can be for you. Capiche? ;)

[rockindrummer]

^ oww I don't even wanna think about how much that's hurt!

[Drum Phil]

Aye, funeral on friday. But my uncle and cousin are over :D My uncles a music teacher who plays bass and violin mainly, and my cousins a bassist and drummer

[Brokensticks]

Lol believe me I know, my brother hit me with one of mine before.

[rockindrummer]

Yat that hurts, but I think he ment worse than a hit with the stick :lol:

[Brokensticks]

I think he meant shoving up it my *** :lol:

[styler]

for anybody concerned..i got the job lol

[Brokensticks]

Awesome!!! Money for some new cymbals!

[rockindrummer]

^ nice man, how much pay do you get?

and to drummer54 ya most likely.

[spike9908]

sweet man. if i remember, its a cashiering job, so good luck with all the douches you get.

man, i cant wait to get my deposit slip next week(i get paid via direct deposit), its gonna be a good one. and at the end of the month or beginning of next, i get a raise (all the way up to $5.75 an hour from $5.50) so even more cymbal/snare/head/stand money.

[Brokensticks]

a 25 cant raise thats crap. Eventually it adds up though but still could they give you more?? And isn't 5:50 under minimum wage?? isn't it like 6.50$ or are you young like me and dont get minimum wage.

[spike9908]

no, 5.50 is min. wage. i heard they might be raising it to like 6 something sometime soon though, which would be great to have. i got lots of expensive stuff i want to buy.

[Brokensticks]

Where do you live? I think 6.50$ is minimum here.

[Ill Mitch]

Heh, the minimum wage here in Washington is $7.35. :D

[spike9908]

PA. and yeah the $.25 raise is crap, but ive only been working for 2 months, so i dont really care. after that if i do good on my reviews (not sure if they are quarterly or biquarterly) i get a $.50 or $.75 raise which isnt bad.

[Brokensticks]

Ya thats not bad. it doesn't sound good but it all adds up. Where do you work?

[spike9908]

local grocery store as a cashier. hence my comment on all the douches coming through your line.

i was on express lane(which i love) last time a worked. the light says about 15 items, some people were coming with like 25+ and i couldnt send them to another lane because there were people behind them.

[TTTSNB]

Heh, the minimum wage here in Washington is $7.35. :D
Thats what it should be everywhere. Thats actually a proper wage. 5.50...not at all.

[LoneStarDrummer]

$5.25 is minamul wage here in texas.

however at my summer job i got paid $6.50, which was just enough to cover gas and food. plus it was some seriously hard labor.

[Brokensticks]

That sucks. I think $7.00 is a good wage.

[rockindrummer]

Ya $7 is pretty good. 10 is still the best though, if not more.

[Brokensticks]

50$ would be sweet

[rockindrummer]

hahaha no kiding.

[Simple Man]

Sup guys :cool:

I copied Jimbo's avatar for Holloween.

[Win A Rabbit]

well i was talknig to my grampa about music, and i have a question for you guys?

do you think another band/musician will have as much of an effect on music/society as the beatles had?

[gastery6]

depends on the music and the people.

[styler]

depends how people take them..i think people are becoming more aware of other types of music so i dont think it will be as wide-spread as with the beatles


^^^^^ im workin at tim hortons, cashier, cook, cleaner, etc, and i get $8 training wage..i dont know whats wrong with all the places all you guys work at lol

[gastery6]

I dont work yet, I to lazy :)

[Win A Rabbit]

yea, i was waiting for my money to run out before i applied for a job, but i keep getting money. :lol: it's amazing, like christmas every day.

my theory on the beatles question is that music is a progression, and it will continue to progress in small increments from time to time, but no band (in my opinion) will jump as far up the scale as the beatles did.

[Brokensticks]

I agree, music is not what it used to be. I do not think any band will ever do as much as the beatles did. Most genres of music have been discovered. The beatles were introducing a genre so to speak in a way. We'll see though. But I think the beatles will always be the biggest thing to happen. Well besides Elvis i guess because he started it all.

[Aaron]

im working for treasury and get $48AU an hour

[Aaron]

...mwhahahahaah!! and im 19!

[Brokensticks]

48$ an hour wow thats so good. What you saving up for??? As in Drums. If you are saving for anything....?

[Aaron]

well my wish list is as follows:
22" heavy K, 13" K/Zs, 17" and 18" K Cust. Darks
my custom jarrah snare...
and a house to marry my lady friend and take her home to :thumb:
and getting my P plates hahaha

[Brokensticks]

Sounds like a pretty awesome wish list there man. Post pics when you get some of it!

[Aaron]

:thumb: problem is i have no time to spend it because im always at work. am right now actually..

[billdrum]

Some day they'll look back and say Blink 182 was that kind of a band.

[Undisco Kidd]

My names Mike. 13 years old living in boring Indiana. I've played percussion (snare) for 1 year, and then I started on set (2 1/2 years so far)

I've got a '73 Slingerland set with Zildjian Avedis Cymbals (from same time as my set, 16 inch crash, 14 inch hats, and 22 inch ride)

I don't have many hobbies other than drumming and music.

Current wishlist:
A 14 inch crash
A 10 inch splash
Some 12 inch hihats
2 new hihat stands
A new bass pedal (something better than a strip driven ludwig speedking :P)

[Win A Rabbit]

who wants to hear the dream i had last night? all of you do, of course.

well it started out normal, me and my friends were walking to school, but the sky was all green and purple, and after a while, i asked my friends why it was colored like that. they all looked confused and asked "do you seriously not know why?" and i said no. so they all stopped, and all at the same time said "today is the day of the doctor" so i got all weirded out, but they wouldn't tell me what day of the doctor meant. so i get to school, sit there a while, then i go to write, and i realize that 3 of my fingers (pinky, ring, and middle on my left hand) are just bones, and they have no skin. i just hide my hand, hoping no one's seen it, then i get out of class and go ask my friend what's going on. he tells me that every 5 years, we have to get the skin taken off of our fingers, or else the finger will grow to big and we will die. day of the doctor meant that we were all going to get the skin on our pointer finger taken off today. so i started freaking out.

then i woke up like in the movies, where they sit up, cold sweat, everything. man it was messed up.

i love my dreams, they're all so weird.

[Japan3gro]

I would talk about my dreams but I'm always getting shot at, or doing bicycle stunts into water ( I can't swim). I usually get them when I lay on my arm and cut off bloodflow....or eat reallllly late at night.

[Tim]

i play too much counterstrike and watch too many movies. the other nite. i had a dream and i was a CT from counterstrike ( the exact skin as the 3rd skin on cs) and like it was all resident evil-ish and the t;s were there too and it was weird. too much gaming.

[Brokensticks]

Weird dreams guys mine are all bad so i don't like repeating them lol. Porkupine dont tell DBJ you have a Slingland set. He will steal it from you! :lol:

[Win A Rabbit]

i've started to write my dreams down in a notebook, i wanna keep track of some of the weird ones. and since i start to forget small details as the day goes on, i keep it right by my bed and write it down usually once i wake up. should be quite interesting a few years down the road.

i forgot to bring my english binder home, i was going to type out another rant i did. my teacher's starting to get frustrated with me, telling me that i could easily be getting 10/10's, but i "add profanities" and she's trying to get me to stop by taking marks off.

edit - post 10101 !!! whoo hoo!!!

[LoneStarDrummer]

never heard of it

supposedly if you have a lucid dream that means you are completely aware of the fact that your dreaming and you can control anything and everything that your doing in your dream. the possibilities are endless. you can make yourself do virtually amything in your dream and supposedly it feels real.

many people who say they can lucidly dream say they will dream of going to something like a board meeting that they are nervous about and see how everything plays out in their dream so that they are more confident in the real life experience.

others say they just fly around or do things they would never be brave enough or capable of doing in real life.

[Plan B.]

Yes I've heard of this.

It's a concept I find very interesting. Very rarely can I deduce that I'm in a dream while dreaming, but when it happens it's very intense for me.

Have you seen Waking Life?

[Tim]

oh i gotcha. ive had a few dreams where i could do what i wanted but its usually that im being controlled somehow and i want to do something but i cant. like when i have dreams that involves running...i cant run...its like somethign wont let me run.

[Brokensticks]

**** fed ex! I feel your pain man. actually i dont really i was told 10 days for my 3005's and i had them in 10 days. and a Lucid dream i had last night weird. It was about getting some new AAX's

[poppinfresh]

hey jim,
youll never guess who i ran into after the steve gadd clinic.... LOUIE BELLSON
i am now the proud owner of a drumhead signed by both louie and st3eve gadd.

[Win A Rabbit]

i do remember having a few dreams that could be described as lucid dreaming, but i only remember short short pieces of them. i've actually been reading up on this stuff in the past few months, it's a crazy theory. that's one of the reason's i've started writing my dreams out. i want to be able to control my dreams like those guys can.

some of their techniques are messed up. if they feel a dream start to fade, they'll dream that they relax and fall to the floor, and their mind thinks that they have woken up, but they're still dreaming. or they'll dream they're spinning/falling for this same effect. man it's messed up.

[Double Bass Jim]

hey jim,

Awww man! Lets see pics of the head.

[LoneStarDrummer]

sic

i'm still a bit sceptical(sp). but like you were saying, they do have some insane ways of tricking their minds.

my friend was showing me some mp3s he downlaoded where a voice constanly says, "am i dreaming? i am dreaming."

your suposed to play this the whole night on a continues loop. how it helps i'm not sure.

there are also goggles you can buy that detect REM (rappid eye movement) and shine a light in your eye to wake you subconsciece(sp) mind.

[poppinfresh]

****, that dream controlling thing happned to me 3 times. This one time i was being chased by these guys, i was in a kind of a black walled maze, i stop and say to my self, this must be a dream, so i stop i punch the guy in the forehead and do the same with another two and i fly away, i get to this beach type place and then i lose it but i regain control in another part.

jim i will have all of hat tommorow, i have to type up somting for school. I tried to get you a poster from gadd but by the time i planned out how to get it to you the line was closed, im really sorry. Louie could barely finish his signature, he got to the u and i thought he was going to die out on me but he scribbled up the rest, really nice funny guy.

[Brokensticks]

Lol if he died in front of you that would have been quite odd.

[LoneStarDrummer]

i he died, i would still his driver's license. that would be a cool personal item to have. it would be like a trading card almost. very rare i might add.

(only joking, that would be rude)

[Brokensticks]

Lol it would be one of a kind lots of $$$ on e bay.

[poppinfresh]

i think that if im goign to post the pic i will need something in return. I demand to be modded before i post this.

[styler]

RE: lucid dreaming, it isnt very safe unless you prepare yourself for days, possibly even weeks, if you become skeptical in your subconcious mind and fall, your mind will actually fall and you could have a siezure or a heart attack as your falling in your dream, and actually die in real life. one of my older friends ive known for a few years was excellent at it, then he went to bed on shrooms and had a lucid dream and actually hallucinated/dreampt that he was being raped or something, then had a heart attack in real life and died for like 30 seconds. before paramedics revived him i mean

[Brokensticks]

Wow! that is weird..... That is extremely scary!!

[Aaron]

yeah!

[LoneStarDrummer]

i'm tellin' you, this whole lucid dreaming thing is some really crazy stuff.

[rockindrummer]

Dude that's ****ing scarey man. This whole dream talk is kinda freaking me out.

[Brokensticks]

I won't sleep tonight!!!! Lol Anyways lets get a new topic, how about the AAX Stage Sets 16" Crash 14" Hats 20" Ride I'm planning on getting that set. Any thoughts?

Im a Sabian whore. forgoteenDRUMMER have you tried the ride? And i was planning on buying an extra 18" AAX Stage Crash to go with the set.

[Tim]

Im a Sabian whore. forgoteenDRUMMER have you tried the ride? And i was planning on buying an extra 18" AAX Stage Crash to go with the set.

no sir havnt tried any of the AAX rides. ive heard good things about the stage ride though. ive tried all the AA rides except the Raw.

[Brokensticks]

Awesome thanks anyways man. Great to hear you like my choice in future cymbals. I like getting to know nice people on these forums where you from age?? And do you like the 10" AA splash??

[rockindrummer]

I've played the stage ride it is quite nice. If I remember right it didn't have the biggest bell though. I would get that pack all the cymbals are awsome, except maybe the hats I havn't played them. The AA splash is nice but it just wasn't my type of splash I went with the K over it.

[Brokensticks]

Awesome. I'm not a big fan of playing on the bell so that doesn't matter too much. My parents bought me the splash for x mas and i was just wondering if anyone else likes it. I have trouble fitting splashes into music I play also where is it best put?

[Seafroggys]

Its a weird habit of mine, but whenever I play on the bell, I always use the side of the stick, instead of the tip.

[Aaron]

Awesome thanks anyways man. Great to hear you like my choice in future cymbals. I like getting to know nice people on these forums where you from age?? And do you like the 10" AA splash??

i own a AA 10" splash and to be honest i hate it. so much i've taken it out of my setup and it lives in a snare case in my room with my spare snare batters

[Brokensticks]

Thats what you are supposed to do i believe.

[Brokensticks]

O thats bad news to hear about my splash :p

[rockindrummer]

Its a weird habit of mine, but whenever I play on the bell, I always use the side of the stick, instead of the tip.
That's what I do too, It sounds fuller than with the tip of the stick.

Drummer54 put it just to the right of your hats beside your high tom and pretty much underneath the crash on your left side. There are many other places to put it but I like it there.

[Aaron]

^its more personal preference. im a wuhan/old K tone guy so it doesnt suit me..

[Brokensticks]

Wow, that is exactly where i have it under my left crash but a bit above my tom.

[Brokensticks]

The bell is meant to be played with the side of your stick. That is how my drum instructor taught me anyways. It gives a fuller sound and feels good to play. I like the feel or it anyways its something different.

[Double Bass Jim]

Depends, you get 2 different sounds with the tip and shoulder.

[Tim]

Awesome thanks anyways man. Great to hear you like my choice in future cymbals. I like getting to know nice people on these forums where you from age?? And do you like the 10" AA splash??


im from a crapass city called bakersfield in california. and no i dont liek the 10 inch AA splash but i do like the 6 and 8 inch ones. i love those ones. 10 inch is too big for a splash imo.

[Brokensticks]

O I see I am in BC Canada

[Jezen]

i've started to write my dreams down in a notebook, i wanna keep track of some of the weird ones. and since i start to forget small details as the day goes on, i keep it right by my bed and write it down usually once i wake up. should be quite interesting a few years down the road.

i forgot to bring my english binder home, i was going to type out another rant i did. my teacher's starting to get frustrated with me, telling me that i could easily be getting 10/10's, but i "add profanities" and she's trying to get me to stop by taking marks off.

edit - post 10101 !!! whoo hoo!!!

I had a lucid dream last night and the night before. I was telling puppet master about it. The first one is too long to explain, and it was absolutely terrifying. Last night's one, I was being robbed by townies. They were stealing my kit in the middle of the night, and I caught them and tried to fight them. I managed to tackle one, and got on top of him and I kept punching him repeatedly in the face, except, he felt nothing. My attacks were harmless. I was vulnerable and could not stop them taking my drums away.

I guess you could say I am having lucid nightmares. I hope I don't have one tonight, as they are really really scary.

[Double Bass Jim]

I don't dream much to be honest, sounds pretty bad too BB ^ dang!

[Drum Phil]

Yeah i never seem to dream anymore. Except the other night when i had a dream about throwing a 300lb lead weight into someone i hates face :) That was satisfying to say the least

[Double Bass Jim]

Haha thats the kinda dream ya wake up and crack up at, good times. :cool:

[Drum Phil]

Hell yeah. I rarely dream but that kinda dream i can enjoy.

Balls ive got a funeral tomorrow :( Not lookin forward to it. And i think ive damaged the joint in my left index finger

[Pauly]

I kept punching him repeatedly in the face, except, he felt nothing. My attacks were harmless.

I can kinda relate to that. I always have dreams where I'm jumping on a trampoline, but no matter how hard I try, I just can't bounce. I get really tired, really frustrated, but I just keep trying.
Kinda the same concept- last night I was playing basketball in my dream, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get the ball to the ring.

[Futuro]

The only dreams you remember are the ones you awake during...

[DruMMeR_BoY14]

Ergh band practice has again been left up to me to organise, terrific. Its the night beforehand and now I find out our bassist hasn't one of our guitarists or signer about it, so guitarist is gonna have heaps of trouble making it and will probbaly have to hitch a ride with someone. plus we have a gig in 2 weeks so this practice is totally vital.

I hate this crap, when I joined up I had no intention of organising this ****. Owell, I pray to god that it all turns out ok, and if not I think I'll be pulling my hair out and having serious thoughts about quiting. Not the first time this has happened.

[poppinfresh]

i think that if im goign to post the pic but i will need something in return. I demand to be modded before i post this.

come on jim mod this guy, i want to see the pic.

[poppinfresh]

thats ok, im the organizing one too, its everybodies job to pitch in and organize if something goes wrong.

[styler]

[rockindrummer]

That it does. How'd your first practice with the church go? (I'm assuming you had it as you said you still have to bring your drums in.)

[Brokensticks]

Styler where in BC are you?? Poppin don't worry I think if he really wants to see the pic you will be modded :p. Are you bringing your drums in the from the church rehearsal???

[-Obscurity-]

Mornin.. i still gotta bring my drums in from last night.. booo

Ah, the day after. I usually do the same, you get home at 4:00 am and just don't feel like lugging your stuff back in.

[Brokensticks]

[-Obscurity-]

I sure as hell wouldn't want to. -Obscurity- you -- rep me awhile back that was mean :p

[Brokensticks]

[-Obscurity-]

I don't even remember but I don't think it deserved - repping i was just giving my point of view and you had a different view but no worries man

[Brokensticks]

O ya, it was a comment you made about President Bush and I disagreed.

[-Obscurity-]

O ya, it was a comment you made about President Bush and I disagreed.

[Win A Rabbit]

well my friend dropped her third block class, so now there's 2 people that have that spare with me, which makes it alot more bearable to sit around and do nothing for 80 minutes.

i think i may drop my science class though. i was good with it, up until now. we started doing the physics of electrical charges and whatnot, 2 things i just can't comprehend put together, oh it's hell. and my teacher's a huge b'itch about it too. i'll be sitting there, trying to figure out what a huge pile of numbers on the board means and she'll go "PAY ATTENTION!!! YOU CAN'T JUST DAYDREAM AND THEN SAY YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!! BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!" oh it pisses me off, i can't stand her.

and in less than an hour, i'm going with my emo friend so he can get his nose pierced and become even more emo. yay.

[Drum Phil]

Does anyone beleive in the Aurora hyperplane? It was mentioned at the end of a program about UFO's where they had a sat image on a slipstream left in a couple of seconds that went from america to china. That meant whatever left it was moving at speeds of around 8000Mph. Thats beyond mach 6

[KWG]

Emos are taking over

[poppinfresh]

i have nine pics uploaded.

I had a very similar thing. We were in maths doing quadratic equations, and I said I needed help because I had no idea how to solve quadratic equations. So he comes over, explains it, and then I just keep staring at the page of figures trying to figure wtf was going on. After 15 seconds he said "Thats it Jezen give my your diary!"
"Uhh..why?!?!?"
"For sleeping while I was explaining something to you"
"What the hell?!? My eyes were open! I can repeat everything you said! What kind of crack are you injecting?"
"Detention"
"Prick"

[Drum Phil]

Unlucky. My teachers would suck if i had any. I better go to bed, i have a funeral to attend in 9 hours and i gotta get ready and get there first

[Dude3]

Hey guys. I'm not really a drummer(I would like to learn though), but regardless, I have a question.

In a lot of metalcore/hardcore breakdowns, the drums repeatedly hit this cymbal thing. They might throw in some double bass too, but you get my point?

For example, listen the first song on here, and wait until about 49 seconds into the song: http://www.purevolume.com/thebombsquad

My question is, what is that technique called?

[Brokensticks]

You have no teacher???? Why do you want to be there first????

[Brokensticks]

How do I rep people?

[Aaron]

^the technique is called "playing the drums"

[Tim]

How do I rep people?

thebox with the checkmark and the x in it under someones name. click it and put approve to rep and disapprove to neg rep

[Brokensticks]

Ok thanks Bob
