Innervision hasn't really got anything on any of Tools stuff. Even Intermission :p

I remember when we all first started, with first band in Australia, all we would play was System of a Down. Mainly the easy stuff, because he didn't really have much skill back then. We played Chop suey, Toxicity (tried to), ATWA, Innervision, CUBErt, among others.

I remember my guitar-playing-friend came to me and asked me to try and learn Schism. I had a listen, and I just couldn't comprehend what was going on. Waaay too advanced.

[Brokensticks]

I know the reason I havn't been posting much is because some days it has been so slow on MX I just didn't want to put up with it.

[puppet.master]

ya it has been slow


oo guess what

went with my mom to schlong and mcquade today and i found out that the snare im asking for
a used yamaha musashi oak 13" is 230 wich is already an awsome deall
and it comes with a case for that price

just fiber not lined or anything but ill get some foam and a hot glue gun

[aznriceball]

iono, innervisions by systam of a down is pretty kool

i use to love that song. having heard it hundreds of times, it seems a bit dull now

[styler]

yeah ive been listening to it for about a week constantly now..i still like it though, give me a few more days of blissful ignorance and then ill go back to danny carey.

[Jezen]

I still think Highway Song is rather fast.

Yeah, playing Schism as precisely and accurately as Carrey is almost inpossible.

[Drum Phil]

Know what im really getting bored of? The constant emo bashing. Now bashing the pop bands pretending to be emo (ffaf, fall out boy, my chemical romance) is fine. Real emo is decent music, its just hardcore punk with different lyrics

[BetweenTheEchoes]

What exactly would you count as "true" emo then?

[Japan3gro]

Naw hardcore punk is stuff like Champion, Bane, Comeback Kid haha. Nowhere near emo and definately not lyricly. I don't even think the bands you name pretend to be emo at all. But like I said before they attract the 14-15 yr olds that don't know any better so they just label it "emo". The fashion is what does that sort of thing.....like the weird haircuts, guys wearing girl pants etc..etc.

[Drum Phil]

True emo i would count as stuff like saetia, love lost but not forgotten, floor of red, when we fall.

[Loyton]

Man how can you resist those!


Jim, good news, i brought them to school to take home to the studio afterwards and i tested em with the schools kit.... NOT dissapointed. Just amazing, AMAZING hats. Sound great half open as well as tight. Warm and amazing sound, not to mention they will get better with age! I always play solo in the morning in front of a crowd of about 10-20 people, all just watching me. It was kinda odd at first, but now ive gotten used to it and kinda like it. Not to mention now i can easily improv shred in front of groups of people!:chug:

[Japan3gro]

^^ If I ever got X hats it would those but 13's...those are some nice hats man =].

[Futuro]

i have dial up so i cant help you to much. but try

breakbeat.co.uk they have some streams, some videos. I just got my dj hype limited edition shirt. Doesnt have anything to good out but its the only drum n bass shirt under 50 bucks. See if you can find some high contrast, pendulum, or shy fx. those are some good examples.

faith +1 come live with me.


oh man, people are lining up for pokemon battles. Im going to lose eventually i know it.

just bought some parts for my lectric drums. I got the hook ups at ACE hardware. but they dont have foam.

are you ever standing in the middle of the living room and feel like your weiner is hanging out. I did have my eyes on so i was close to the tv and i just got out of the shower and everyone was diagonal to me watching. and i just got out of the shower and i felt like my weiner was hanging out so i urn slowly and look. negative. alright were good. time for some mx. dammit i got 2 lines done for my othello essay. thats ok. hes not very important.
Where you at? I live with you for free lmao :)

[bobby__johnny]

speaking of this emo/hardcore punk....

makes me reailize i like Killswitch Engage....not normally my thing either :confused:

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Going to see 'Cradle Of Filth' tomorrow.

Yay!

Although, I am worried that I will get assaulted by a 'Morbidly Obese Goth'.
Or that some part of my person, or clothing will get attached to them.

[Jezen]

My head hurts.



Virgil Donati - Running from the Alien.







I bet that's why...

[Plan B.]

Intermission on AEnema is by far the coolest song ever!


I know! I thought I was the only one that liked it.

[HeLLmO]

agreed Intermission is sick, i just picked Aenema last week, and it is has seriously changed my life. it is just so amazing, some of the filler annoys me, if find useful idiot rather usless, but i love Stinkfist, and Eulogy and H. and 46 and 2, and Anema, and Hooker With A Penis, it is just all so great, i can't wait for the new tool album

[Plan B.]

Try Lateralus.

[bobby__johnny]

or The Paitent

[Plan B.]

Well, Lateralus as in the whole album, but yeah the Patient is mos. def. key.

[Jezen]

Disposition, Reflection, Triad.


The triple song, thats where its at.

[HeLLmO]

i already have Lateralus, i love it too, sick stuff man, sick stuff

[Janeway]

I'm reading again.
I should finish Jeanette Winterson's Gut Symmetries, then it's on to Neil Gaiman's American Gods, and hopefully I'll get to the library to get Tipping the Velvet.
I'm so embarassed when I borrow books involving lesbians.
When I was younger before everybody knew, I always promised myself that I would go buy books and movies full of homos, and tons and tons of pin ups, but I never did.
I'm still unbelievably shy about it.
God.

I'm not sure if any of you have seen Travis Barker's new Boost Mobile TV ad... but I find it hilarious.

Check it out:

[Plan B.]

Bwahaha!

[The Ska Man]

I saw it on tv... What does he rip?

[The Fiction We Live]

He has a hernia. Which is:

The protrusion of an organ or structure into surrounding tissues. For example, an inguinal hernia occurs when part of the intestine protrudes through a weak point in the groin. Most hernias occur in the abdomen.

[poppinfresh]

god dammit today ****ing sucks. I keep spilling cake on myself. i have cake on every artcile of clothing that im wearing. I have it right down the middle of my white shirt. thats ok, il just listen to some dj adolf. n00bz,

[Double Bass Jim]

Man your always eatin cake! ^^

[Brokensticks]

At least you get cake...

[poppinfresh]

Do you have any suggestions for what clip I should give a listen to?
anything sub focus is good as well but go to that place under listen labled singles listen to some of that stuff. Pendulum-aonther planet is a good song. he has corny intros such as in slam but it gets good. i havent heard that high contrast song yet. but anything shy fx is good. im actually listening to shy fx and t power on my sound holder. it has singing in it. and organ. listen to that. i think its under dubplates. i have no idea what dub plates means but go listen to osme of that. understand what drum n bass really is.
but what makes drum n bass is the drum loop and the bass but the bass can be substituted with whatever such as in this case organ. theres a lot of freedom involved so it never gets boring.

if you have a chance get the high contrast-high society cd. most drum n bass cds are like 30 bucks so this is a pretty good deal 11.

OmFg! we have this bring your favorite game to psychology class thing. I started a pokemon battle group. im so excited, 2 hours of battling!!! this is the best class ever.

[poppinfresh]

Man your always eatin cake! ^^
hhaha, people keep giving us cakes. We just threw out three because they were old and i took a few to my friends house because his parents dont feed him.

[rockindrummer]

^^ Thanks poppin I listened to slam, which was pretty sweet. I'll give some more a listen if I get some time.

That is why many people on this forum hate him.

But my god was that funny!!

[Der Meister]

crud

[Bone]

Oh my I hope he made a lot off that one. Seeing how Blink isn't making so much anymore...


Just yet another reason why that person, and others, are a joke in the world of drumming.

I'd say brilliant as far as marketing, advertising and plain money making go. However that wouldn't have been my direction, by the end you only see how skiny, strung out and addicted looking travis really is.

Talk about a role model for the younger generation....

[The Fiction We Live]

You guys are incredible.............

It's funny.. can we not just leave at that?

[Loyton]

Would have been cooler with real drum playing.

[rockindrummer]

I just finished my first lesson in about 2 maybe 3 months. I started out with a new guy, he seem really cool. Likes to play solid groove type things, seems really good too. We started out with some rudiment stuff and are going to be working out of stick controll a lot, so thats cool. Really nice guy and has a lot of great influences like danny carey, carter beauford, steve gadd, josh freese, and so on.

Alright boys and girls,
I just got my friend Danny to sign up for this site under the name -HellsKitchen-, he should be coming here to post soon. He's looking at kits for around 1200$ Canadian, and i suggested the Sonor 3005... Anyways, welcome him with pride.

By the way, the kid is a ****ing SICK bassist who i was lucky enough to be in a band with this summer.


HOLLA AT CHA BOI DANNYYY.

[rockindrummer]

nm man. Hells Kitchen is a freaking awsome show, I watched all of it both times it's been on tv, once on fox then once on the food network. Cooking shows in general are just sweet.

For your kit I would look into the 3005 or the mapex pro m, both are amazing kits for the money and will do you very well.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Dude its a Dream Theater Song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Plan B.]

Hollllla.

[-HellsKitchen-]

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Our names rule... no one can touch us! CHEA.

[rockindrummer]

Well I like food and the first thing i thought of was the show, but it is a good song too.

[Win A Rabbit]

just got home from work. today was super easy, except for a few rushes here and there. i'm starting to get the whole rush thing down, since the whole restaurant is pretty much based on rushes. that's what you get when you have a restaurant in an airport.

anyways, i only had a bit of a migraine today, which i quickly got rid of with some good ol' ibuprofen.

i got 100% on an essay i had to do for english. a full, 2 page essay. i've never heard of anyone getting 100% on an essay before.

[HeLLmO]

Bored. Make sure you turn up your volume. its kinda hard to hear. :(

[Loyton]

man, just came from an hour long drum/bass jam session with my bud in first hour.... i dont wanna toot my own horn but it rocked hard! It was funky groove, then intense metal, then tastefull jazz all in one smooth helping of drum and bass. We had a little crowd, they want it on cd! It was improv, i love that sorta stuff. Improv is the most fun.:thumb:

[rockindrummer]

^ Improve is very fun. I love just going in and playing random stuff with like half of my band, normally happends when someone can't jam, always a fun time.

[poppinfresh]

sup n00bz
just got an extension on my othello essay. and our other essay got pushed to monday, i was the jury for this woodrow wilson trial. i blame it all on the generals and who ever is in charge of them. its beautiful. maybe i can pull off five pages. both of those essays were due thursday. my class is full of idiots. only three people turn in there homework everyitme so none of the assignments really end up counting.

i took this sample mensa test in psychology. i got 24/25. we had a set 20 minutes, my score should be higher because i finished in ten minutes. but that was the funnest test i ever took AND it made everyone looke like an idiot since they all scored 10-12. that made me happy.

[Brokensticks]

poppin how was that cake

[poppinfresh]

it was average. they got it from sogo bakery so i dont excpect much form there outside of rice cakes and squid crakers(aZn bakery). and i like my cake cold, this like stays at a warm temperature which sucks. Ive had like 20 cups of orange juice today, i couldnt eat dinner.

OMFG
i completely forgot. today started out as the best day ever because i actually enjoyed being around the people in pyshics hwo are usually idiots. but then i get to lunch and i drive off with my friend. we go to three places all packed so we leave get to safeway. get to the sandhich department. thres two people, one almost done. ok thats alright i can wait. four mexican workers come stand in front of the glass that has the food, which is where they arent supposed to stand. instead of being inline like me. the brown lady helps them first. So i just got cut by four people(they each bought their own thing) im standing there for 5-10 minutes. ok . this tall white guy comes up, gets in front of me. the lady looks to him and goes how can i help you. and begins to ****ing order. so i was like you fukcin **** i was in line. i was pretty angry. and hes like oh im sorry. and then he said something about me being agry but he used a differnt word i dont remember what it was. then i order my sandswhich, takes them another five minutes to get bread. and then the lady messes up his order and hes like "its not ****ing rocket science its a just a sandwhcih' what an asshole im glad i yelled at him. then i bring my sandwhich into class(a common practice at our school, not sure why) but i usually dont do that out of respect. and we get to vote wether to take the test now or later and then we have to take it now. so now i have to put my damn sandwich aside while i crap this test over because i forgot about it. yeah thats it. i didnt even get raost beef like i wanted i got this dry *** turkey and this bacon which wsant suppoesd to be in it. but oh well.

[Brokensticks]

I hate those sandwich nightmares they haunt me for days on end.

[rockindrummer]

That sounds really crappy poppin. I hate people who have no respect and just cut in line like that.

[Brokensticks]

DBJ do you know how rep goes up by a bit when you get repped because I was repped like 5 times and I got one neg rep from a random person that left no comment and I went down more than 1500 points...

[rockindrummer]

^ It was probally someone with a hole lot of repping power that neg repped you.

[Brokensticks]

I guess but it doesn't say and the message I posted doesn't deserve any neg repping at all.

[poppinfresh]

stop whining


man i kick *** at essays. i used to suck. then i started rereading what i write. i should send these off to TIMe/ its really weird because writing has always been my weakest spot.

[Seafroggys]

Was that random, or is it a quote from John Lennon because today is the day he was murdered. Or am I thinking of someone and something totally different...?

[Seafroggys]

well your right about the lennon thing, but i'm also saying that as an expression to the world.......just for what it means.....

[Brokensticks]

Well I am proud of myself now for knowing a piece of history

Oh gawd I remember when I first moved to Australia, we stayed in Kings Cross for a while. We were in some sh!tty backstreet motel somewhere behind the mainstreet. There were syringes everywhere, and someone had been shot outside on the street.
It was waay too hot to sleep, so I would stay up every night watching Rage and those dumb "Call me now for pleasure" ads.

I'm in school right now though. Oh yay I have big band rehearsals tonight! w00t :cool:

Nah metronomes are about £40-50 here.

Get him a nice stagg splash?

[The Ska Man]

Ok, what about Stick Control? That's important. And cheap.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Cradle Of Filth.

I did infact go and see them yesterday evening (In the Glasgow Gorbels!).

They were AMAZING.
And their first support band 'Octavia Sperati' were brilliant aswell.
However, their second support band were scary.
Don't get me STARTED on their singer.
Yes, he was a good singer, but he was weird.

I was almost attacked by some lesbians, burnt in the head by a cigarette, pushed into the pit, and had someone put their arms around my waist...

But Y'kow what?...

It was WELL worth it.

[Janeway]

Ugh.
I have three alarm clocks.
One set for 6:00, one for 6:10, and one for 6:25.
So after they all go off, I decide to lay down and sleep for five more minutes.
I wake up at 8:03.
I look out my window to be met with pure white. It's snowing. Hard.
It also happens to be extremely windy out.
Not a plow, salt truck, or snow removal crew on the road, and guess who's the worst driver in the world?
Instead of having the car taken away again for going into the ditch, I called my dear sweat grandmother.
She told me to take the day off.
Me, being the idiot I am and forgetting that old people are never sarcastic, thought she was kidding, and waited half an hour for her.
I called her again, and she told me to take the day off again. I started to argue with her, hung up, and got my sister to drive me.
She called our house 36 times.
My mom is flipping the **** out on me now.
I really don't like today.

we managed to get out of school today because the plows didnt get around until almost 1. its amazing what 6-7 inches of snow can do.

[styler]

i hope none of you are complaining that you had the day off...except for pespi...who went to school anyway..lol

[Janeway]

We got like 6 inches over night.
Still, we had school.
It's not fair.
The southtowns have had like 5 days off because of snow down there.

[Undisco Kidd]

We had about 8 inches, no school.

So I dedicated the 6 hours I would be in school to 3 hours on set, 2 on xylophone, and an hour watching videos on drummerworld.

[Drum Phil]

Looks like MX is in for a fun time *linky linky* (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4508158.stm)

[Janeway]

I think maybe they should just get rid of all the musicians in the world.
Line us all up, miles and miles long, tie us to ****ing poles, and shoot each one of us. Have them video tape it and let generations see how the goold old boys got rid of the evil people rotting their minds with artistic garbage.
Then they can just make CD's with tons of stupid electronic beeps and subliminal bible messages and feed it to all the mindless idiots that make up the entire ****ing world.

[Undisco Kidd]

As we all know, the only good music is christian music. All other music supports gang violence, drug use, and rational thought!

Ok, what about Stick Control? That's important. And cheap.

I still need to buy that book.

[Double Bass Jim]

You don't get expelled for skipping school...
Oh yes you can

I've seen it MANY times.

[an_original_name]

are all drummers really ****ing stuborn or is it just the ones i know?

i'm playing a gig in a few weeks and i was going to use one of the other bands drum kits to save bringing mine along. it was all sorted and everything but then the guy who owns the kit comes up to me tonight and says "oh by the way you cant use my kit, its too expensive". he plays a swingstar that he payed just over £1000 for!!! i only need to use his kick, floor tom and rack tom (i'm bringing my hardware, snare and cymbals) but he still says i cant use it. he even had the cheek to say that my export is a worthless piece of **** compared to his kit. not meaning to offend anyone here, swingstars are great kits for the money (maybe not the amount he payed for his!) but they're not "too expensive" to let other people use them.

rant over

[spike9908]

^wow, what a **** nut. ive let people use my pearl SBX kit that i payed $850USD(719 euro) for a party gig(of corse i was at the party). in return he let me borrow his cymbals for a few days as his band wasnt practicing for a while and his cymbals were better than mine.

its all about karma, thats why he paid the equivelent of a sonor 3005 for his swingstar

[spike9908]

Oh yes you can

I've seen it MANY times.

none of them were at my school. i know someone who has literally been IN school less than 30 days this year. were at about 60 days total for the year.

well if he already said you could use it then he is an asshole. but you should use yours. i know i dont like people going on my kit. doesnt matter how expensive it is, its his kit and he gets to decide who uses it..maybe he saw you play and thought you hit to hard?thats not his fault...i know if i saw you ****ing around the slightest bit on a kit i wouldnt let you even look at my kit.

also, the exports are crap. the swingstar isnt much better, but the exports are bottom line next to CB and RB

[styler]

thats not that much to skip. once you get in the rythm of skipping its hard to stop. you get used to not waking up so early, you get behind in work, and then you say youll catchup next day...doesnt happen...endless circle...best not to skip to begin with. im never skipping another day in my life

[an_original_name]

^^^ i'm going to use mine. if he wants to **** around then i cant be bothered with him. and i duno where you get the idea that exports are down with CB kits.

[playwithfire]

I'm a very happy man. My 22" A Ping ride came in, and in addition to that, I'll be buying a 21" A Sweet ride, 18" A Medium crash, and some other As in the next 3 weeks. I should have about 7 of them to take pics of and post right after Christmas. :thumb: yes, yes.

[Undisco Kidd]

I'll be getting my 20'' Sultan Jazz Ride by Feb., so I'm happy.

you would of been better off to use yours in the begining. and if it wasnt for the pearl name the exports would be with the CB and RB sets.

[Undisco Kidd]

I am going out of my ****ing mind with boredom. There is nothing to do in Indiana. No music scene, nothing to do at all. I'm not in a band or anything. As much as I love drumming, It's hard practicing with nothing to practice for.

[Futuro]

Oh yes you can

I've seen it MANY times. Yep. That is what happened to me. That is also the reason I went to a Career center. I missed 89 days at the end of the year of eigth grade. Then 92 the next year of eigth grade.

[Panopticon]

nice job...how'd you manage that?

[styler]

boo...johnny rabb drops a stick in the new meinl videos, oh well. happens to the best of us

[poppinfresh]

i just came here to say that that new johnny rabb video is definetly the best one ive seen in a while, planning on ripping the audio for my sound holder. great great song.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

So we just got our first REAL snowfall of the year.

This morning there was like little patches of snow.

I look outside right now, and as it is theres about a foot and a half of snow,
its nuts. BEST SNOW TOO! like you grab a handfull and throw it at cars cause it makes a perfect snowball chea


thats not what i did tonight..................................... *ahem*

[Futuro]

nice job...how'd you manage that? I didnt "manage" it, I had social workers up my ***, and weekly drug tests. They blamed it on my mom for somereason. So she wouldnt get arrested for me being a dumbass one night (and countless other acts of stupidity, which wouldnt have happened if I was in school) I chose to emmancipated at 16, I then chose to go to school once I became a bum. I finally figured out how hard it is to live, let alone live on nothing.

In short im telling everyone to stay in school. I have become what I used to hate (Preaching of school etc) Only because I went through it the stupid way, Whatever you do don't get expelled.

The only reason I wasnt flat out expelled the first year of eigth grade was because they had me go into some therapy course, Which was again a waste of my time, because nothing was wrong with me, Besides stupidity.

[poppinfresh]

yeah your pretty stupid, i dont wnat you in my garage.

I went down to the one on granvielle and 7th.

[styler]

boo go the tom lee on granville! you suck rockindrummer! nah just kiddin...go L&m..and go delayed responses

[rockindrummer]

L&M has better prices that tom lee does and it is also a closer bus ride.

Ya my response was a little late but I had school, then went to L&M, and then chilled with my bassist so I just got home.

[Win A Rabbit]

hello everyone. my migraines are pretty much gone for now. how relieving. they were fairly bad, too.

anyways, i have a question for you guys. anyone who's good with science. do you consider light to be matter? the reason i ask this is because i was sitting in science class, and i started guessing how much the classroom weighed in total. desks, kids, computer, etc. then i started to think about air. then, since we just finished talking about light, i wondered if a lit room would weigh more (of course it wouldn't be a significant difference, just miniscule) than a dark room, due to the room being full of light waves. i asked my teacher and she didn't know, and i searched google for a while and got a report from '96 about the person talking about doing tests on whether or not light has a volume/takes up space.

[rockindrummer]

I would say it wouldn't but then again it probally does and I just have no clue what I'm saying. We havn't even gotten anything close to the in science yet, but I will ask my teacher when we do, as i'm now curious to find out.

[Maggot Dream]

I'd say no, that's what I've always learned. But then again, I'm only a sophomore, so I haven't learned much.

[styler]

what did you buy rockindrummer?


also, sic i imagine it would weigh something miniscule as light is heat and heat would have a weight in a miniscule way as well. (i think, i havent been in school for a few months so i might be wrong)

[rockindrummer]

I bought a 12" real feel pad, stick control, and a couple pairs of vic firth 5b's.

[styler]

awesome man, is it your first practice pad?

[rockindrummer]

nah I had one of the remo ones. You the white ones with the grey boader type thing. http://www.remo.com/portal/products/2/592/618/619/pp_individual.html those ones. But I hated the thing, it was really loud and didn't feel all that great.

[styler]

i have an 8" remo one, it isnt great, its too small for me i suppose..but i dont like the HQ reel feel ones either, doesnt feel like a snare, too solid, it doesnt give way like a snare head does, thats what i kinda like about the remo one....if they could like..combine the two of them..i think it would be perfect

[styler]

g'night d&p

[rockindrummer]

^ Night.

Ya the real feel doesn't feel like a snare head but it is a lot better then the remo one, imo. The real feel one is a lot quiter which is nice.

[Double Bass Jim]

hahahajh you n00b. your from canada.

Haha, Aaron: formerly Aaron1 :lol:

Does anyone get when you try to rep someone, it just shoots to the top of the page>?

[Aaron]

^yeah i get that

[Pauly]

do you consider light to be matter?

From my memory, light acts like both a particle and a wave. For instance, light's path bends when it gets close to a planet or some other large mass (as if it were affected by its gravity). This would suggest that light has mass, but it in fact doesn't. So, in theory, it shouldn't bend around planets as explained by newtonian physics. As I've learnt, you can think of space as a giant sheet. When you put a heavy object (representing a planet) on it, the sheet will sink at that particular point. Now if you roll a marble next to it, the marble will move in a circular path around the heavy object, as light does to a planet.

So, in summary, light has no mass. And your science teacher should have known that :thumb:

[The Ska Man]

Blue=him
True story:


Ok so the other day I told my friend a drummer joke, I said, wanna hear a drummer joke?yeah, tell me TRAVIS BARKER! Dude, since when is he a drummer? I have taught you well indeed.

[puppet.master]

aww man

i have not idea whats going on with the jam today

im not sure if my bassist is grounded hopefully he isnt and he can still come over

but its really gonna suck if he is cuz
he schedualled two guitarists to come over neither of wich i know

and for now were only gonna need one guitarist

man this is a pain in the *** ill call the bassist really soon to fin out if hes grounded or not tho

[The Ska Man]

So he has an 11 year old daughter, but he got grounded?

[puppet.master]

**** did i say daughter earlier

i meant sister


man im stupid

owell i just called him everythings still happening :D


edit: nvm i just checked in my other post and i did say sister

[Undisco Kidd]

hah, my bassist is my brother. so if i want to jam, he's normally less than 30 feet away.

[puppet.master]

hahaha nice

i would think it be a bit of a pain having a family member in a band

nice and convienient tho

and you always know thier shedual

well i got everything moved

(drums and stereo) for the jam and the bassit just called to tell me hes headin over so i gotta go shower

back in a few

[rockindrummer]

^ lol that's cool. I could never do that with my brother though, he is to god damn annoying.

[puppet.master]

weehaw that was a good shower

im gonna start my computer defragging wen everyone gets here

That is actually a very, very intelligent post. I would +rep you, but whenever I try repping now, it just shoots me to the top of the page....

[poppinfresh]

yeah i had a dream about l & m last night. now i know its a store but i have never seen one or been to one. so this is how it goes we were coming back on the train home(i take bart to san francisco sometimes that a light rail system) except i dont even know where the hell i was this was definetly not a californian city it was more like metropolis. so i get off and me and my friends go to l and m but its late so we cant stay that long. i go inside and theres all these stand and drums and im like OMG. then i talk to the guy at the counter and he makes me listen to his band. and im like this is the best ****ing band that ive ever heard but i remember thinking that his drumming skills were mediocre and nothing special. then i go look around only stands and then some arcade games. so im liike what the hell wasnt this a drum shop. so i keep oging and i go into this room. theres all these pictures of bands like guitar people and like two drum people. then im thinking this is such bull****. so i walk out of the room and into the main again and to the left of me is dance dance revolution and those driving games. so now its basically an arcade. and i dont know how this happened but it relates to how yesterday my friend and i went into frys(because he wnated osmething) and he ended up spending n hour there because he couldnt get a discount and it was dark when we were outside and i was pissed. so i turn around and theres only three drum stand, one a gold ludwig one. and the guys still at the counter but theres like this magazine rack of records under him but those were always there. then we walk outside and its morning and im like goddamit tyler its ****ing 6 am. so then i go left and we end up at this hippy festival but its not as detailed but the security gaurd lady form our school took my food as we were sitting down.

yeah l&m sucked

[Undisco Kidd]

I wish there were places like L&M here. Guitarcenter is awful, and all the local music stores only carry crap.

[rockindrummer]

Ya L&M is a really good store. Great people that work there and they have reasonable good prices on everything too.

[Janeway]

Wow.
I just got back from All County auditions.
I think I've finally gotten over it. I wasn't nervous at all.
Normally the day before I'm freaking out and practicing like a maniac and getting so upset with myself, but I was just totally calm.
I practiced for 1/2 an hour last night, 10 minutes this morning, and I did a quick warm up before I played.
It was great.
I wasn't shaking at all when I went in to play, I actually spoke in an audible voice to my judge. God.
I didn't get my score, though.
It sucks being the last audition before lunch.
I'm so happy with myself, anyways.

[rockindrummer]

^ Nice work pepsi sounds like you did a good job.

[Jezen]

:lol: I remember when I had only been playing for about a year. My guitarist sends me this thing on MSN. "Hey meeen, you gotta learn this solo!"

I just found the old file, and it's title is "Frank Zappa - Black Page Drum Solo".

[Drum Phil]

haha good luck learning that man

[Jezen]

Yeah, I might give it a go in 15 years or so...

[poppinfresh]

just finished my othelo qoute packet, 62 qoutes. now i have to finish the great gatsby and finish the othello study guide. then i have a scrapbook, 30 pages each a different topic. i could have done this over the last three weeks, thanks a lot mx.

oh then i have a pyshics test to study for. then i have to go throw oranges at my friend. a drive by fruiting. hahaha.

[spike9908]

ok, so i was on my way home from the mall today and i pass by the local music store (which sells nothing but Legion drums and new york pro guitars) and i look in the window, and to my delightful surprise, there is what i believe to be a mapex saturn 14x5.5 snare in mango burst in the window.

after school on monday, im gonna stop by and see what kind of condition its in and if he wants a resonable price for it, i may put it on layaway till after x-mas.

[poppinfresh]

shut up. go away stop distracting me. nobody post on mx until i finish.

I have an old busted up Pearl snare and I wanna fix it up. I can't stain it or wrap it becuase it's a metal drum.

What can I do to it's appearence except clean it?

[The Fiction We Live]

You could try to find some new lugs for it depending on how they are on there now... or even powdercoat it.
