for $250 i wouldnt even go myself!!:amaze:

[Win A Rabbit]

well i'm not planning to be a jerk, but seriously. if i don't go with her, she can't come. the only reason she can come is because of me. like i said, in any normal situation, i'd do the gentlemanly thing and pay for her, but this is alot different. i've hung out with her 5 times, for about 2 hours at the most. she lives 3 hours away. it's not like she's been my best friend since kindergarten.

it's $125 for the limo, and then booze money, banquet money, food money, etc. i'm paying for the limo cost, my parents are paying the rest.

Honestly dude, chivalry is dead. If women want equal rights, they need to start carrying their own damn weight and paying for their own damn ****. Just my two cents.

However, I've gotta better fight for you.

Can you say, f*cking pwned?

[rockindrummer]

well then. I dunno I'd probally still do it since she, i'm just assuming, really wants to go. If your parents are going to help you out, why don't you help her out?

[Plan B.]

If you like her at all, pay, but if you don't even care, screw that. I'm pretty sure you don't care so, forget it, haha.

[Double Bass Jim]

Man this choclate shake I have is KILLER.

]If my mom buys icecream it's gone in about 3 days max, she will buy a box of oreos and they will be gone before the end of the day, no joke, one box in less than a day me and my bro eat good food like the world is ending.

[Double Bass Jim]

I believe it man

[BetweenTheEchoes]

I like the kind with peanut butter in them.

[Tim]

i hate christmas songs. they were all decent way back in teh day but man....i hate them now.

[Seafroggys]

just got back from my first jazz gig in college....it was fun. I played set on two songs, and we did The Chicken for the last song (its a really smooth funk song) that one of the other drummers and my drum instructor both played on at the same time, and I rocked out on the congas. Man that was a blast.

[Double Bass Jim]

Awesome!

Sounds like good times.

[isp_of_doom]

Hi, cant remember if I've posted in this megathread before, but here goes.

Im 17 born and bred in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. Moved to New Zealand 8 years ago (1997). Been heavily into music these past few years, my father is a truely classical guy, into Mozart, Liszt, Tchaikovsky... stuff from the romantic period. My mother likes in her own words "simple music"... examples include Cliff Richard, Westlife, The Eagles, The Beatles, Elton John, etc...
The first music I liked in my truely rebellious years was heavy stuff... Metallica being the obvious heavy band that is the gateway to other things heavy. Bands through my heavy era would have been: Metallica, Iron Maiden, Children of Bodom, Dimmu Borgir, Blind Guardian, Dragonforce, Black Sabbath, Marilyn Manson (a bit of an exception), I could go on...
Then came this forum, and a sudden though "Hey, Dream Theater... cool name... lets see what their like." And thus began the next era of my musical interest... I cannot give them enough praise, and I wont begin to because it will make boring reading along the lines of "OMG GREATEST BAND !!!11!!!!"... and that would of course appear pathetic. So yes. Dream Theater came along, followed by Liquid Tension Experiment, and a general broadening of bands i admired. Names like: Tool, U2, Guns n Roses, etc entered my listening circles.
Also came a little band called Rush. Fronted in my eyes by the fantastacle Neil Peart. He entered me into new bands as well (Frank Zappa, Led Zeppelin, Pink FLoyd... I was also getting interested in more influences of my parents: many of the above mentioned under their names, additionally Holst.).

Enough listing band names...

I am of course a drummer, being in MXDnP. I've played for 2 years in england, with a six year break, then just over 1 year in New Zealand.
drumming influences can be seen in the above list. Josiah (MXer) has also helped me, providing me with a practice plan, and introducing me to Vanessa Carlton (not personally unfortunately). Very talented artist, and Abe Laboriel Jr. is a talented drummer by no means.

At the moment I'm training to be an audio engineer at SAE Auckland... due to graduate July 2006 at this rate.

Any other New Zealanders out there drop me an email to sutton-pratt@xtra.co.nz if you wanna chat.

[Drum Phil]

[-Obscurity-]

Hey guys, what is this thing called? The long bar on the side of the tom where the lugs screw into. I had one break on one of my older toms and need to get it replaced. This pic isn't of my tom, but you get the idea.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y241/Obscuritypics/tom.jpg

[Drum Phil]

Thats the lug ;) The tension rods screw into the lug

[Jezen]

Yeah it's the lug. The tension rod passes through the hoop, and screws into the lug. The lug is surrounded by the lug box, which comes in many different styles.

[-Obscurity-]

Ha ha....yeah uh, I knew that. I was just testing you guys, that's all. Good job.

Got hersheys ice cream too first time I ever had it... Gotta be the best I ever had easily.

man, first time you had hersheys ice cream. man, its everywhere here, even school has it(may have something to do with the fact that i live less than an hour from hershey) Good stuff.


if you ever see it, turkey hill ice cream is pretty good too. made even closer to me(i guess im in a good spot for ice cream)

[poppinfresh]

its been raining like hell today, i love it. Im so happy.

i challeneged this guy at school to a pokemon battle. I told him i have three mewtwos and he freaked out. I dont have a link cable i went to the elementary school to aska round but they areny very nice to me. I better get one quick ive been trash talking for the last two weeks, ive been training like crazy going through the elite four over and over again i better not loose. I have a weekness though, a majority are water types but then they have ice type attacks so if i get up against an electric im screwed but i have my meganium and against grass types my water types have ice attacks so its ok. Dammit i also have a noctowl so anything electric will definetley fry me. ****.

[PremierManiac]

OMG ITS SNOWING HERE!!! AND STICKING TO THE GROUND!!! it hasnt done this in december since....at least 5 years

It's snowing here (Wisconsin) in December for the first time in a few years too.

GO GO PIKACHU!!!...*is the only pokemon i know:upset:*

[rockindrummer]

Poppin are you playing silver? Cause noctowl isn't in any of the original versions, and I know it is in silver.

[poppinfresh]

no its my crystal version versus his leaf green.

OMG im crapping my pants 94%!!!

[poppinfresh]

96%!!!!!

[rockindrummer]

ah w/e crystal is like the same as silver, I think. You should school him, cyrstal has way more sweet pokemon than leaf green does. Leaf green only has the original ones from like blue and red.

[Janeway]

I love to watch women run....

[The Ska Man]

I've been playing my gold version a lot lately. The old red version too. I found a cool site on how to get mew in red or blue.

I dloaded an emulator and pokemon blue and i've been playing that. I can get any gba game too it's sweet.

[Seafroggys]

I love to watch women run....

ditto, especially when they have long hair flowing in the wind and have big breasts that bounce with every step

[rockindrummer]

^ That put a nice picture in my mind.

[styler]

amen^

[PremierManiac]

You guys ever seen the old TV show 'Pacific Blue'? The whole show was basically Seafroggys' post, it was a good show.

[Win A Rabbit]

well i just watched pulp fiction for about the 10th time in my life. i love that movie. i'm not much of a fan of tarantino's other movies, most of them are way too overhyped.

i watched 'saw' last night, too, and that was way too overhyped for how bad it was. i've seen 'saw 2', and i actually half enjoyed it, but the original saw was terrible.

but i'm off to bed now, exhausted. going to re-arrange my room if i can't fall asleep. if not tonight, then tomorrow morning. i've been waiting to move in downstairs, but it turns out no-one in my family knows how to drywall properly, so now we're hiring someone. looks like i won't be down there for a while.

[isp_of_doom]

how old are you guys who are playing pokemon.

[rockindrummer]

various ages. I know it seems like a lame game, it is, but it is very addicting none the less.

[puppet.master]

yup that it is

now you bastards have gotten me craving to play it

[rockindrummer]

haha that was my plan.

[aznriceball]

pft, i still play pokemon sometimes. im 19 x_x

iv recently become OBSESSED with the show naruto.

if i didnt have drums and anime, id go nuts with all these classes im taking

[poppinfresh]

^^^
i heard that in japan they do the naruto thing they make that weird hand thing where your index singers point outwards andd they stick it in your butthole. And they chase eachother around and do it. oh its for the 5000 years of pain part. My friend showed me all of the hand signals but i forgot them.

d00d why does age matter. Ill be playing pokemon when in 34 at work. then ill challenge other fellow trainers and then ill own them up and then i wont have to work because ill enslave them in return for pokemon choaching. yeah, thats how its going to be.

dammit i lost my red version a long time ago, i have to go buy one.

i used to have a mew and a mewtwo but like the mew sucked. how does anyone just come upon something like that, theres no way thats a glitch.

[mysticalyeti]

Pokemon is indeed addicting...

And you can get a ****load more than the originals in LG/FR... There are islands with G/S/C pokemon if I remember correctly, and you can trade for any other pokemon.

>_>

[poppinfresh]

****, i need to go get it. if i didnt play drums i would be a full time pokemon trainer and id have all the cartirdges on my belt. and then i would walk into the local elementary school and then kids would be like, OMG there he is. that is the master. he is iundefeatable. he has level 165 pokemon.
-no way
-yeah huh and he even has a whole team of mewtwos
-nu uh
-go battle him youll see
-no, his anime hair intimidates me

[rockindrummer]

^ Sweeeeet!

[mysticalyeti]

I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST

LIKE NO ONE EVER WWWAASSSs

[puppet.master]

you guys are scaring me

[Brokensticks]

It's snowing here now!!! Now sticking yet though. But it is still snowing!!

I have soccer practice tonight though.... that kinda sucks.


Scary stuff I am around Vancouver too and have a soccer practise tonight but it was cancelled..... Its been snowing for the majority of the day today.

[rockindrummer]

^ Ya I went to soccer, it was pretty sweet wasn't all that cold as I wore like 4 shirts. But it was fun playing in the snow.

To puppet master: Maybe but if you start playing you won't stop.

[Brokensticks]

****, i need to go get it. if i didnt play drums i would be a full time pokemon trainer and id have all the cartirdges on my belt. and then i would walk into the local elementary school and then kids would be like, OMG there he is. that is the master. he is iundefeatable. he has level 165 pokemon.

That would be s0o00o0o awesome. My bro and a couple friends were obsessed with pokemon this summer and I was the only one who didn't bring my gameboy, I feel terrible.

with my fake naruto mask i got on ebay and my 1000 years of sexy pain technique u will lose!!

[Brokensticks]

I think poppin will win it..... so sorry aznriceball

[aznriceball]

iv downloaded about 80 naruto episodes in the last week or so. and i want more

[Brokensticks]

What the hell is naruto anyways? I have no clue about all this anime stuff, the only show I watch on tv is " Friends " I don't watch much tv, but Friends is a great show.

[mysticalyeti]

I can't really get into Naruto

[aznriceball]

i used to watch friends. great show, but its ended. i contemplated buying the DVD set, but i bought an 18" aax dark crash instead. kinda wishing i bought the DVDs..

naruto is about a boy ninja, and the show is basically revolving around a ninja world. and the fact that i love ninjas makes the show that much harder to avoid for me. i even was late to my class today because i decided to watch an episode really fast, even though i could have waited till after..

[styler]

lol you guys are slow, i was watching naruto 2 years ago, its all bout pirating japanese subtitled episodes

[aznriceball]

thats exactly what im doing right now. infact, i almost didnt watch it because of the obnoxious english voicing. im up to ep 85 now..

i also downloaded ep101 as i heard u can watch it without affecting the story. hilarious. kakashi is a perv

[LoneStarDrummer]

i watched the first season of full metal alchemist but i've lost interest since the break between the first and second season. plus it airs at a crappy time. i'd still like to know how every thing works out though.

[mysticalyeti]

From a purely action standpoint, Samurai Champloo really kicked ***... crazy fight scenes ;o

Too damn short though, not even 30 episodes if I remember correctly.

[puppet.master]

*changes topic*

[mysticalyeti]

Listen to my mediocre goofy **** that started as midi and ended up as ... uhh, midi on steroids

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=174644

None of it (except the obvious bottom 3) is me on drums, just incase cause some people actually though it was D:

[aznriceball]

*changes back*

u cannot stop anime nerds

samurai champloo always seemed weird to me. and im lost in full metal alchemist..

[mysticalyeti]

Weird how? It can be pretty goofy, and has quite a few anachronisms... but it's fun to watch.

<3 FMA too

[aznriceball]

to me theres several types of anime, very adult, meh (i call it this cuz its kinda in the middle), and very cartoony

i like naruto cuz its in the meh category. very cartoony but also very serious. i put pokemon in cartoony and i put something like ghost in the shell in adult. not just adult as in drawing but in themes and overall tone

[LoneStarDrummer]

i lost interest in full metal alchemist because in the beggining their abilities were highly limited, but toward the end of the first season their abilities in alchemy had no limits it seemed. they could make anything.

[aznriceball]

that, and the realization that the hot people werent real

[BetweenTheEchoes]

They need to bring back Wolf's Rain. I don't give a **** what people think, that anime was AWESOME.

[aznriceball]

if you say so. lots of anime is awesome. i was watching bobobobobobo the other day..that show meets a new meh in bizzare

[BetweenTheEchoes]

if you say so. lots of anime is awesome. i was watching bobobobobobo the other day..that show meets a new meh in bizzare

I believe Bobobo bobobo Bobobobobobo is the correct name. Lol

I watched "The End of Evangelion" without watching the series and I was so damn confused...:confused:
then I watched the series and was more confused...:confused:
But liked the Idea of huge, living robots that can eat things and go berzerk and eat more things. Just that a lot of the series made little or no sense...

[Aaron]

G'night mate :p

[Drum Phil]

[Janeway]

Bologna and chicken wing sauce on white bread with a side of garlic pickles, hot peppers, and a can of Jolt.
Best lunch ever, but I've been queefing for the last half hour.

[White]

Ya so, I was talking to My friend at school today abotu what color I wanted him to paint my drums 9Dont worry he is an AMAZING air Brush Artist. Hes one all sorts of awards/competitions for his art, so I trust him more than anyone else) And heres what my set should look like with the new finish.

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c110/drummer54321/FutureSet.jpg

Although thats an Orion, it should look just like that when I get the chrom and all that polished, and the New mapex Black Panther, and oh By the way, I should ahve a Black Panther around 6 months now lol.

[Futuro]

I have just recieved the best Birthday present today :) A friday pay check :D Gonna go indulge my self somehow (Maybe new set?) Also my buddies taking me out to the beach and were having what they call "Hippy Fest" Should be fun.....for the Birthday boy.

[styler]

[Futuro]

happy birthday faith, what set you gonna get? I have been looking for some smaller (Regular) sizes to do this fusion jazz thing I have been playing in. Not sure what shells or set im gonna get just yet.

and how much did you make if you have enough to buy a set?
Well, Not from one pay check, I put as much as I can into my 401k Plan (Free money) But I do make good money. I have enough to live comfortably while splurging every now or then. :p

I was pulling out of a parking spot and this little kid and his mother stopped walking so I could, but as soon as I started to back out, he ran behind me.
I was like 1/2 an inch from running over his stupid ***.
Then his mother had the nerve to scream at me for it.
I felt like smacking her so hard.

[poppinfresh]

did you yell at her about her piece of crap parenting skillz?

[PremierManiac]

I hate it when people walk around parking lots like they're drunk and get angry when a car comes close to them.

[Brokensticks]

did you yell at her about her piece of crap parenting skillz?

That would have been great to catch on tape :lol:

[Janeway]

I called her an idiot and said she should have her children taken away and her tubes tied.
That was it.

[PremierManiac]

Considering how this country works, I'm surprised there surprised some sort of lawsuit didn't arise from the situation.

I saw Yngwie Malmsteen and it was awesome. I got 5 of his picks and a drumstick and I got it signed after the show. :D

[-TheGlassPrison-]

I had my 1st drum lesson today with my instructor in a while, he just switched from a sabian endorsement to a zildjian one :D

And i got these new Thirty-Two snowboard boots today!!!! :D:D:D

[Simple Man]

Yo Jim, It was a great ride man, I wanna thank you for everything. I may be back in a while but for now, I'm done!

Peace all.

[Half Life]

Korn concert tomorrow night! :D:D:D

Man, I'm pumped....and the Bahama Mamma I'm packing is more than enough to make me happy :lol:

[RichHunt]

And that's where the similarities end between me and Half-Life.

[RichHunt]

[Half Life]

Haha, I got to have fun every once and a while. I can't play Mr. Hardass all the time :rolleyes:

[White]

Im not really a Fan of Korn, I mean, ya I like just about all Metal Bands, except the popular MTV ones,

[Brokensticks]

Haha, I got to have fun every once and a while. I can't play Mr. Hardass all the time :rolleyes:

Fun is what this forum is all about, if you were just a hardass we would hate you :lol:

[White]

we dont hate him? :confused:

[Brokensticks]

I know, I meant if he was always a hardass we would

[Half Life]

Haha you guys are terrible :lol:

Im not really a Fan of Korn, I mean, ya I like just about all Metal Bands, except the popular MTV ones,

Korn's FAR from being a popular MTV metal band, and even so...since when did MTV pay any attention to metal? :rolleyes:

[RichHunt]

Do they ahve Music Videos? yes, I dont like them lol

[White]

WEll ya, I got the 700 Posts I wanted to end the night off with so, Im off to bed guys. See ya tommorrow Bright and early (thats liek 2 pm for me haha)

[Half Life]

Are you saying you automatically don't like a band if they make a video? That's kind of ridiculous man. I hate people that think like that or think that a band is selling out if they make a video. It's practically required for almost any band nowadays to make a video, so don't hold that against them.

[RichHunt]

Wow. I didn't actually mean to post that three times..

Actually.. yes I did.. I'm comedy genius.

[Brokensticks]

It is becoming more and more common for bands to release a DVD and many are doing it, its another way to get our money :(

[rockindrummer]

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=174644

None of it (except the obvious bottom 3) is me on drums, just incase cause some people actually though it was D:

Well I didn't listen to the midi files but I did listen to all of the drums tracks. Man they were awsome, great playing. Really enjoyable to listen to.

[FockerTheLopper]

Wow... Remember like a month or 2 ago I said I auditioned for a band and I didn't get in. Well the lead singer performed on TRL on MTV a couple of days ago and their awfully close to a record deal. The part that pisses me off is that I'm listening to the work of the drummer and I don't it being sloppy because its a jam but it rushes and the ideas aren't really that great exept for a couple and I could have done just as good and better. If I only had better chops I'd be in instead of him. The other thing, I'm waiting to hear him solo in the third song of the jam. He played in my schools jazz band this kid is really good but I think I did more then him. He had SOME nice patterns with the opening hat and thats just about it, his feel is too mechanical(it sounds like I'm hating, I kind of am but eh I'm disappointed). I'm listening to the mid-end(last song) and he has some nice accents but their right on the bass drum hits, I don't know dissapointing that chops > groove... Wow, I just listened to the solo chops yet musical, okay I'm not so disapointed, the other thing after the solo he played like the kit the way he should have from the beggining. Like a beast

[Brokensticks]

Well, that sucks man, I was hoping for you to get in.

[rockindrummer]

That sucks man. That is total bad luck, somthing else will come up though. Being in a band isn't about record deals and all that stuff, it is about having fun and making music, regardless of the level you play at.

[Brokensticks]

I agree, another opportunity is sure to come up also. But enjoy what you do don't try to be in it for money or anything.

[Blizzy_206]

Money is just a kick *** bonus. I havn't got into that yet.. Right now I just got into a new band and im trying to get them to practice seriously. They like the idea of a serious band, but they aren't commiting to it :(


Also about that audition.. Some bands aren't always looking for the best they can get. Also has to do with their impression of you and such. Cause finding people you can get along with and such all the time can be hard. My last band was a good example of musicians clashing. It was a war...and i won because drummers have more objects :P lhaha nah

[styler]

i personally join a band cuz i want the money that comes out of it, i drum for the fun of it, being in a band is my way of making what i love my career, to me its a bonus doing that with friends...i guess im just messed up

[Futuro]

Yo Jim, It was a great ride man, I wanna thank you for everything. I may be back in a while but for now, I'm done!

Peace all. Dang man. Cya later dude. :(

[Drum Phil]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/rancid_punk/Picture47.jpg

Oh yes :cool:

[Jezen]

Oh man. Your not seriously going for that 22" crash are you!?

[Drum Phil]

Eventually yes :) Im getting my main ones sorted first, all i need is my AAX 20" Stage crash first :)

[Murd_666]

Dude a 22" Crash, Thats tank...20" Stages are Loud but AWSOME!

[Futuro]

I have been using my 20 inch full ride as a crash more than a ride <SHRUG>

[Drum Phil]

Ive been tryin to crash on a heavy 22" ride and its not happening :upset: 22" Crash ahoy

[Futuro]

Im getting my second tatto soon. I want something on my left forearm. Not sure yet, I am a fan of abstract art and triip photography, but it is fairly hard to find something that would look good on a forearm.

[White]

No, I just dont like bands who sell out, I mean it just shows that they just want to be known, and its not about the music

[Futuro]

It is becoming more and more common for bands to release a DVD and many are doing it, its another way to get our money Yeah like tool

Tool finally has there DVD coming out of the Schism and Parobola videos. There is also special footage, But I doubt I will get it. Why? Because those videos are so easily accesible, Now if they were to release a live DVD, I would have to snatch that thing up in a heart beat.

[Japan3gro]

^^ Like Lamb of God - Killadelphia. Live dvd's are the best.

[boss]

i have that 20" AAX Stage crash
BEAST that thing is

[styler]

if its all about the music why dont they just stay in there garages and play?

selling out is just another way of saying "hey, this band got popular, other people like them now too, **** i dont like them anymore, screw this."

dont make a song, technically that would be selling out, as soon as someone hears you music that is selling out...an actual band that sold out would be kiss, there the only real band thats ever sold out that i can think of.


lol your crazy drum phil, i can understand the double pedal cowbell, and i can understand the awkward setup...but damn man, a 22" crash...thats just crossin the line..:P

[Win A Rabbit]

i can't stand the whole "sellout" argument. 95% of the time, it's a 14 year old kid who listens to poppy music, and loves the cd until the band makes a video. at this point, the kid hates the band, only because now he knows that this band is being listened to by more than himself. it's always the kid that thinks his favorite band, which usually happens to be on a worldwide tour, is "underground". the kid thinks that the band owes him something, for one reason or another. he thinks the band must consult him with every decision they make.

once someone touring the world (or atleast a continent or two) in a small bus is able to move up to a bigger bus, maybe with showers and a bathroom, and are able to eat every day, they've automatically sold out. because we all know, the point of spending money to record your cd, spending money on advertising, going on tour for months on end, the whole point of all of that is to repeat the same record 50 times over and to never accept any money once you've broken even.

one of my friends even argued that bands that play concerts in large arenas sell out because they "don't need all the money, but they take it anyways". then he started rambling on about he'd rather play for 10 people who really really liked his band instead of 10,000 that kind of liked it. he then continued to say that he determined a band selling out once their t-shirts cost alot.

ignorance. aaaah.

well anyways, i've burned 5 cd's already today, and i'm about to burn a few more.

and i'm finally starting to get good work hours. this week i'm working sunday tuesday thursday, then next week it'll be sunday and 3 weekdays. can't wait for the money to roll on in.

[mysticalyeti]

Damn them for making money doing what they love! Bastards!

[Seafroggys]

god damn I wish I can make money from what I love

[Janeway]

I took a nap, and woke up with my pillow stuffed between my legs slightly moist.
I can't recall having any dream, and I'm a little worried I was molested and put on tape....

tell him to start doing his job and not accept money for it. we'll see how enthusatic he is about that one.

[Japan3gro]

Kids won't understand until it's time to get a real job and you can't live with the parents anymore lol.

[Undisco Kidd]

This is quite a rhetorical question, but why does GuitarCenter Suck so much? I went to pick up a pair of sticks (got sick of my year old splintered ones, finally)

I asked to try out the Vic Firth Jazz and some Vaters. I am immediatly given random-brand bulk sticks. Horrible, heavy, and repulsive. I just sort of nudge them back. Then, once I decide on the VF, they decide to try and sell me a bulk pack of vaters.

They have one good employee in the drum section, and he was out sick.

Also, British Boy, how do you like BigDog stuff? I noticed you had that as your avatar for a bit. They intrigue me.

[Jezen]

^^
I love it. Really is top quality stuff. Can't go wrong.

[Undisco Kidd]

Now the trouble is getting it here in the states. I'd like to get a hat stand and a single pedal.

I kinda recently got like that to. I used to be like lets play songs OMG make more songs. Then we played at the moon festival. and now i dont really care anymore. I have way more fun just jamming and improving with like a keyboard or a guitar. Thats way better than anything a band can give me except for a neverending line of hot babes you cant get that sitting in a garage.

[Loyton]

psh

*having a ****ty night.

[Plan B.]

Hey b_j.

:cool:

[rockindrummer]

Wow mx was super slow yesterday, so slow I didn't even want to wait for it to load. Did that happen to anyone else?

[Plan B.]

Yeah I've been noticing that for like the past week.

[Ill Mitch]

Yeah, it was really slow for me too.

[spike9908]

its been really slow for me basically since the forum update. every now and then it will go fast(like today) but its been timing out a lot.

[bobby__johnny]

yeah I was wondering where you were....

wb.....and, on top of that....

where were you?

ahh here and there

basically my life is kinda hectic...what with working from 4~11 or 12...and then coming home and just playing games all night.

then i wake up, do my thing for a few hours, only to go back to work.

blahh...but i'm back for now...hope to get some new pics up soon...mainly showcasing my 16" China, and new 14x6.5 snare...what a dream that is. bright, cutting, nice crack...all from a 5+5 maple shell :cool:

[bobby__johnny]

right...forgot to mention that the store marked the snare down from $500 to $150! (canadian)

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Hey b_j.

:cool:

heeeyy ;)

[Japan3gro]

Does anyone have The New Breed? Theres this rythm on like the first page where your right hand plays 16th notes (1e+a) and your left foot plays 1234. Is this supposed to be used with X-hats or just right hand and left foot hitting at the same time? lol

[playwithfire]

Hey b__j. Good to see you on here again, we all need breaks sometimes :thumb:.

As to that selling out bull****... it's almost always retarded little kids who think they are punk calling bands other people like "sellouts" while not realizing that by their definition their favorite little band called "The Used" that they went to see last month at the local arena is, by their definition, sellouts too :rolleyes:.

[rockindrummer]

Hurry up with those pics will ya!

[styler]

pics?lol what pics?


man, i love that wet dream website at the bottom it had a link for a site called "the stroke"

that just made me crack up.

my order came in today for a 16" and an 18" HHX evolution crash, and an 18" Ozone Crash. going to pick them up tomorow..pics as soon as possible :D

[rockindrummer]

^^It was to bobby, who just got a new snare and cymbal.

Pics!! Score!

So what is everyone up to tonight?

[mysticalyeti]

Absolutely nothing D:

My goddamn snare hasn't arrived... auction ended monday and it's shipping from 4 hours away. Guy is taking his sweet *** time.

[rockindrummer]

^ That sucks man. It should have been there the next day not almost over a week.

[mysticalyeti]

Yeah, any shipping site gives the estimation as 1 day in transit.

...And the guy gave me feedback already o_o

My **** better not be lost somewhere D:

[rockindrummer]

That would suck, so much. What type of snare did you buy?

[mysticalyeti]

An old Mapex, it's aluminum. I wasn't able to find anything out about them (discontinued), but I got it for 100 bucks. I was looking into an ultracast, so I guess this is a pretty good deal. It's got some wear and needs a new batter, but woo at the price.

Auction link, if it feels like working (ebay can be weird about linking :/)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSAA:US:31&Item=7367779067

[rockindrummer]

Awsome man. BP snare are sweet, and I bet a vintage one is even better. Nice buy!

[Double Bass Jim]

Nice avatar! ^

[playwithfire]

Man, can't wait for Christmas, so much damn new gear.

On another note, guess what finally came in to the local store? That's right, my 22" A Ping. Yes, yes :). I gotta pick that bitch up right away.

[Drum Phil]

Ergh :( my kit has to be moved from the attic tomorrow. All the electrics have blown up there so i gotta dismantle and move it in the dark

[rockindrummer]

Yea, well his is a copy.

I tried to change the colour but I couldn't figure out how so I just left it.


Nice buy playwithfire. Get some pics up when you get it.

[Jezen]

Nice avatar! ^

W..W...What about me?!?!?!













:upset:

[Jezen]

Omfg I just played my 3rd concert, and it was sooo awesome. It was in the grand hall in The Sage, Gateshead.

[rockindrummer]

Mine's the classic 8 ball, you see yours is just a 3 ball.

[Trev]

I just made an 8 ball avatar with a santa hat and flapping tongue, but ImageReady crashed and I lost it. :(

edit - On an unrelated note, I hear Remo Practice Pads make a bit of noise, are they too loud for say, practising in a room at uni? I'm going to make some DIY electronic drums for when I go.

[Drum Phil]

You're kidding? THE SAGE? You lucky bastard :(

[Jezen]

I'm making DIY e-drums for college. I'll use PVC piping, and mesh heads.

[bobby__johnny]

Hurry up with those pics will ya!

patence my friend....(i need a camera)

[Trev]

Sounds intriguing. What module are you thinking of getting? I think I'll probably get a DM5. After I've finished uni (heh, I won't even start uni for a couple of years), I'll incorporate it into my acoustic kit for effects and stuff.

http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/1646/xmas8ball3oj.gif

[rockindrummer]

Patience I can achieve.

[Jezen]

I'm pretty intent on grabbing a DM4 or DM5.

[Undisco Kidd]

As much as I dislike electric kits (don't like the feel of them) I'll probably do teh same.

[Der Meister]

I made a ytmnd http://briandrivesohnoes.ytmnd.com/

[Jezen]

Yes. Thanks for that Ally.

[Ill Mitch]

Hey BB, do you use Demonoid? If so can you get me an invitation link?

[Jezen]

Demonoid? I don't even know what it is...

EDIT - Oh right I know what it is. Nah I don't use it, as eMule does me fine.

[Der Meister]

Yes. Thanks for that Ally.

don't you get it?

[Drum Phil]

Somone reccomend me a decent evans coated bass reso. Im thinkin EQ1.

[Ill Mitch]

Darn. You should try using torrents sometime.

[Jezen]

I used to use torrents for everything. They are good up to a point.

[puppet.master]

i use torrents for mostly everything

i have a demonoid account but i doubt i can remember the password or acct name

i wudnt know how to send an invite anyways

[spike9908]

Somone reccomend me a decent evans coated bass reso. Im thinkin EQ1.

yes EQ1. if you want a porthole EQ3.

EQ4 or 2 for a batter(yeah, i like the EQ heads)

[White]

I ahd the EQ3 on my last Kit, it sounded awsome, it gives it a good "Punch" like a Rock sound, I loved it

[rockindrummer]

I use torrents for mostly everything too.

[Janeway]

Free showtime tonight!
That means I get to watch two whole episodes of the L-Word!
TWO EPISODES!
I also figured out how to work the devil machine so I can record it and watch them both so many times I have them completely memorized!
I'm so excited.
I can't wait for the new season just to see Moria.
She's so sexy in this butch yet still feminine way and her hands are great. Her fingers are perfect.
So long and bony and they'd feel so good and they'd taste so good...

I wish I had showtime, I've heard good things about that show. Send me a copy when you tape it.

[Janeway]

It's the first TV show I've ever been heavily into, even though I've only seen one full episode.
It's great.
There are a bunch of clips here- http://www.hails-lword.net/media/S1episodeclips.htm , but a lot of them were removed off putfile.

[Brokensticks]

Is that the show about lesbiens???? My brother was watching it one night when I walked downstairs, all he said was it sucks and it doesn't show anything :lol:

[Janeway]

Depends on the characters.
The scenes bewteen Alice and Dana are actually pretty vulgar.
The sex scenes between Bette and Tina aren't too great because Jennifer Beals, who plays Bette, has an agreement in her contract for no frontal nudity.
It's a shame, because Tina's got some mad good nipples.

[Brokensticks]

Lol, sounds pretty interesting, I watched two episodes and only thing that I saw was 2 chicks making out so I never watched it again

[Janeway]

Why don't you just wait another hour until the porn comes on, then?

[playwithfire]

I've seen that show. Seems pretty complex as far as the character web goes. Isn't it filmed in Winnipeg?

[BetweenTheEchoes]

*Is now very interested in this show*

[Janeway]

It's somewhere in Canada.
Everything is filmed there.

[playwithfire]

Yeah, I think the L-Word is Manitoban, while Trailer Park Boys is... New Brunswick if I remember right :lol:.

[Janeway]

Trailer Park Boys?
I thought everything on the BBC was filmed in the UK?!
Why was I lied to?

[Plan B.]

Trailer Park Boys is so heavily Canadian it's not even funny. I can't believe anyone could overlook that.

[White]

Trailer Park Boys Rules haha, My friends Brother Got picked up By Layhee when he was hitch hiking back to new brunswick, he was with trinity, apparently they are daughter and father :confused: I was amazed

[BetweenTheEchoes]

Dude. I just realized something. Didn't DBJ used to capitalize the first letter in random words? Maybe I'm thinking of a different forum...
