[puppet.master]

littering doesnt piss me off

i do it

way to much

its a pain tho

i dont wanna have to put my **** in my pockets and then find a garbage can

[Brokensticks]

honestly, I hate littering, if i'm walking with my friends and somone litters I have this ritual I do, when they aren't expecting it I run up and jump on their backs if they litter. Almost everyone knows I do this know, I have done it coutless times, its good for a good laugh too. One time with a bunch of my friends and a tagalong chick who no one really likes, because she is the most annoying person in the world littered and I jumped on her and she got mud all over her light grey sweatpants and on half of her was dirty the rest of the day, serves her right. I was pretty dirty too but well worth it for sure. Afer a concert too I tackled 4 of my friends for littering one of whom fell on the cement.... Oops

[Jezen]

Has there ever been a drum set competion here? Let me explain what I mean, people enter in different categories such as; best looking finish/wrap, best quality drums, best cymbals, most cymbals, most drums, most expensive. If not I think that would be a cool thing to do after xmas when everybody gets new gear.

I think I come in first for best cymbals, and second after the two guys with champagne glass wraps.
Most drums..Maybe Jimbob?

Most expensive: I should think Matter's setup would cost a fortune.

[Double Bass Jim]

The best of thing is kinda lame, the "best" is all up to the individuals eye.

[Jezen]

I declare this man to be the judge then.

I have to go to work in...4 hours. YAY!
haha
I closed last night (left the store at like 11:20), and had to be there at 7 today, but they changed it to 9 so I could get some rest.
LOT OF GOOD I MADE OF THAT!!

I mean come on, new episodes of Boondocks and Aqua Teen Hunger Force? HAVE TO WATCH. lol

[mysticalyeti]

There actually was a program to download videos off of google video... I might see if I can dig it up.

Either that or it was some complicated method that kind of sucked... Eh.

[Drum Phil]

Is it a bad sign if i take to walkin round with a hip flask of vodka/whiskey? :confused:

[Brokensticks]

One would assume but it sounds like it could be a new trend.

[Drum Phil]

Ah well :) i dont care.

Im still wantin a 22" crash so someone name a sabian crash they reckon would work for this. Want it bright and cutting (AAX Style) medium weight or thin i guess

[Brokensticks]

Awesome, I don't think they make a 22" Stage Crash, so that sucks...


Anyways, I need some good help here, I decided to finally go get some primer/paint for my old drums that are just way too ugly to stain.

I know that I need to paint on the primer first, but after that do I paint it blue and then put a sparkle finish on it? How do I go about putting on the sparkle? And does it come in a can or something?

[Drum Phil]

They do. They'll custom hammer any cymbal to any size they already make.

I'll already have a 20" stage so it'd sound too similar

[Brokensticks]

Awesome, I don't think they make a 22" Stage Crash, so that sucks...

Hey, Does everyone have the ability to record to a song?

Im thinking Of doing something, It will involve playing to your favorite song, and I want to see how many people could contribute.

[Brokensticks]

Somone please help me...

[puppet.master]

Somone please help me...


use the search funtion and find bb's thread on how he did his or ANY of the other threads

you could also try the drumshed

[Brokensticks]

I was on drumshed but there is not direct guide to refinishing that I saw...

[puppet.master]

in ther forums

drum shed is all about refinishing and building

[Drum Phil]

Refinishing guide? Here (http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=413507)

[puppet.master]

oops forgot about that one

[Brokensticks]

I know but I'm not staining....

[puppet.master]

why put another wrap on

they look like turd and are hard to put on

[Drum Phil]

What're you doin?

[Brokensticks]

I was planning on doing a blue sparkle finish like BB's but blue. I have no idea if I the sparkle is in the paint of seperately and my friend said he would put the sparkle on before the paint.... but I have no clue.

[puppet.master]

find BBs thread and read how he did it

[The Ska Man]

BB Used the stuff that comes in a spray(Aerosol?) can.

[Brokensticks]

So should I paint it a blue and then spray over it?

[Jezen]

If you can't find a glitter effect spray in blue, then you will have to make your own utilising a spray gun, with a nozzle just big enough for the flakes to fit through without clogging.

[The Ska Man]

Make sure its a low volume-low pressure type of spray gun.

EDIT: actually, I can't verify that, ask at drumshed

[Brokensticks]

If you can't find a glitter effect spray in blue, then you will have to make your own utilising a spray gun, with a nozzle just big enough for the flakes to fit through without clogging.

I'm going to go to the local paint store, i'll see if they have any.

So basically it is a spray paint with glitter effect in it rather than painting the drums with a brush and adding sparkles?

[Jezen]

Yes.

[mysticalyeti]

I wish I could still record. If I try now it sounds so muffled and distorted it makes me want to break this soundcard in half.. :/

[styler]

bah i just went into the pit to find the slightly awkward moments thread and it got deleted...:( it should of been stickied...bah!..main area in the pit is 4 pages...pretty impressive mods...:)

I've got to do a song interpretation for english.
http://www.danah.org/Ani/Reckoning/Grey.html
I think it's about meeting a person who you think is everything you want, but later on the relationship peters out, and you no longer have feelings for your partner. She can see through you, and she knows they're drifting apart, but neither can bring themselves to part company.
I hate this.

[Josiah]

That's a cool song, I take a slightly different interpretation.

[Janeway]

I never took you for an Ani DiFranco type person...

[Drum Phil]

Festive avatar ahoy :)

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Guys,
I got the 22" Coated G1 on my bass drum, and ive spent 3 hours trying to get it to sound really fat and have a good thump.
I cant seem to get it... it always has a kind of whipy sound to it.
HELP.

[The Ska Man]

What do you have as a batter?

[Futuro]

G1 on bass? That is really thin. If I was you I would Take it back, Then get a Power stroke 3 or an Evans Emad.

[bobby__johnny]

there all the same thickness dude.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

I had a G1 on there when it came from Tama and it was fine.

I want to be mad and angry and everything, but I can't. I'm just really relaxed and comfortable right now.

Is that really that uncommon? :p

[Der Meister]

So have you guys heard about Sony's XCP in their lastest music CDs?

[The Ska Man]

I think I have, the 'taking copyrights to an extreme' thing?

[Drum Phil]

The program that injects itself into the spine of your system and refuses to budge? The one that allows virus' to enter it and hide there? The one microsoft banned and paid millions to have removed?

[Der Meister]

It's not banned. Sony is still argueing it's case for it. Basically it opens a backdoor into your PC in which sony, and numerous hackers, can access you files to see if you're making mulitple copies of their CD. If you try to remove it, the Cd won't play.

Also when you install the software, the 3000 word EULA says that you agree that Sony will not be held responsible for any more than $5 for any problems you inccur as a result. Along iwht alot more amazing facts.

[Brokensticks]

I heard about all this yesterday from a friend too. It seems like a waste of money, they will both compete to not let people burn cds and for people to burn cd's and in the end they both lose because they spend the money on it. But the company who is trying to stop it is losing.

[Der Meister]

I don't know about American ICT laws but I'm pretty sure this would breach the Data Protection Act in the UK

Hi I'm Locke I'm 17 from the UK, Main Influances include Nicko McBrian, Mike Portnoy, Tommy Lee, Ron Weltley, Tre Cool, Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins and Chad Smith, fairly new to the forums been reading them for a long time but not ever really posted much, been drumming since year 5 which was 8 years ago (Christ it's been that long), Took a break from drumming about 2 years ago and kinda lost track of things so I had to start again from the begining.

thought I'd join in on **THE** thread.

Currently got a peral export kit(yes i know) with some nice zildjian cymbal's(A's).

Really just wanting to say hi to fellow drummer, Nice to be able to talk to people who have the same love of their insturment I do. Playing drums makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside ;)

P.S. Data protection act ftw and Civ 3 does suck, hopefuly 4 is better.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Oh.
Yeah.
So far it sucks ***.
I dont know what to do.

Oh.

what's the problem?

[-TheGlassPrison-]

I cant get it to sound right.
It always has the annoying flappy sound and its tight as anything...... actually its about medium. Theres a pillow in there and everything.
****.

[The Ska Man]

Put the pillow so that 25% of it touches the batter, and 50% the reso, or as close to that as you can get.

[Der Meister]

I'm experiencing the slowerson too.

I never get logged out though.

[LittlePound]

yeah it's been slow on me lately too and it's been remembring me even though i haven't clicked the remember me button

[Jezen]

I think tomorrow - if I can find it - i'll buy a copy of Counter Strike with Day of Defeat.

[PowerStamp]

I haven't been logged out or experienced any slowness so :P

I've found that I prefer the sound of my bass drum unmuffled (though right now I slipped a spare small piece of soundproofing foam in there for kicks)...a lot deeper lower and boomier.

[Plan B.]

GOOOOOOOOODnight.

just buy half life 1 and download steam and you can get CS and DOD for free. so long as you have the half life disc.

[puppet.master]

or download 1.5 for free download steamless project for free and play online for free

[Brokensticks]

Or don't do anything.

[Double Bass Jim]

Oh yes this is on it's way!
http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/7/9/8/267798.jpg
I chose a maple fingerboard instead of rosewood (shown), IMO it looks alot better.

[rockindrummer]

^ Awsome guitar jim, very very nice! Nice pick on the maple fingerboard too.

[Epiphender]

Yeah maple's gonna be a nicer match. Can't wait to hear that, Jim. ;)

[Futuro]

The Mex strats can have nice action when set up properly. It seems like the guitar fits your personality.

[Double Bass Jim]

Yea I was set on white but I dunno this sunburst is killer, I dig it big time.

Also ordered a little practice amp for the house, I did a ton of research and saw this as the best buy. This thing has alot of options built in doesnt have reverb but i've got an alesis rack unit to take care of that :cool:
http://www.music123.com/Behringer-GM108-Vtone-i120488.music?qso=11#custReviews
Good price too

[rockindrummer]

Wait are you buying an american strat or mexican? Anyway the sunburst is defnintly sweet, I would go with it.

[Double Bass Jim]

Mexican

Can't afford the american, still a quality instrument though.

[Brokensticks]

Awesome guitar man, I don't know much about guitars bit it looks like it would sound killer!

[Futuro]

I have the same guitar, same finish, but with rosewood neck(Basically the guitar you pictured) It took a little while for me to set it up how I like it, But once I did it became my main songwriter. Also after about 3 years my bridge pickup finally went (Longest stock pickup I have ever had) Seymour Duncans <3

I own a few guitar nowadays (Mostly 24 frets) But its nice to run through blues scales and such with a fender. (It just doesnt "Feel" right playing classic rock and blues on my Ibanez :( )

[Brokensticks]

O god guitar talk...

[Double Bass Jim]

Yea I been shoppin for awhile, I was lookin at the fat strats too, their a little to thick sounding for me though.

[Tim]

poopoo on your guitar. haha jk. im thinking of getting a keyboard as my 2nd instrument. ive played it before, took a class in highschool too. theya re fun. I might just get a $200 yamaha with a bunch of effects and can plug into a PA

[Brokensticks]

Im planning on just getting some quality cymbals rather than b9 b8 pro and westbury.... For x mas though!

[Epiphender]

Yea I been shoppin for awhile, I was lookin at the fat strats too, their a little to thick sounding for me though.

I been lookin at you too boy and I tell ya, YOU'RE gettin fat. Mighty thick too, I'm surprised you even know how to work a computer. :evil:

[Double Bass Jim]

Hahah damn thats mean

Man..........I love being on Christmas break....

A couple of my friends and I went sledding at about 10 last night, it was fantastic. I'm feeling it now though. We were making a jump, and we decided it would be a good idea to have someone go over it while it was still pretty loose to pack it down (the snow wasn't packable). So I volunteered. It was kind of like hitting a brick wall, except I went through it. It hurt. A lot.


But we did get the jump built, and it's one hell of a jump.

Ouch.

Actually, I'd say they're possibly the cleverest pet you can buy. They get free food, shelter, and strokes, and in return they sleep 18 hours a day. Seems like the sensible thing to me. Not always fun for you, but smart on their part.

Ah you win a cookie! Somebody smart... in that sense. Very smart animals.


However, from living in this neighbor hood, I'd say a strong argument goes against them.

If they were so smart, to understand they are getting free food, lodging, love etc.. then why, and this is very literal, is a good 2 or 3 cats eaten every month here?

You'd think if they were smart I wouldn't come across their shredded bodies on a regular basis....

depending on what type you get, dogs are the same way. my dog is an Aus. sheep dog mix of some kind and she sleeps all day when no one is home, and all night, plus whenever it is quiet.(like right now)

plus she never barks, so thats always an advantage.

[Brokensticks]

My dog is awesome, lovable, sometimes yes i'll admit he's annoying. He will stand at the door and bark so you let him out then he'll go out you'll go sitdown and he'll bark to come in right when you sit down. Everyday he seems to do this :lol:

That's a very common occurance in Southern California actually. I can attest to the same thing where my house is. Though I do love cats, as does my wife, wich means I do.. hahaha

Our cats however must be inside at night for exactly that reason. While 'monitary' success has given us a nice place to live, a nice home, etc
It has pushed into the bounds of the wild and as such, those animals do come and wander the streets for food (trashcans anyone?), animals, etc.. I love watching the racoons when I get the chance though. My favorite animal by far.

Cats are not a prey animal, the bigger ones are, but domesticated cats are just loving little creatures.

I have a dog though, I had to train it to get along with the cats.. or my wife may have preyed on it!

A bear got into our garbage can, which is quite big, big enough that nothing has gotten into it for 13 years not even racoons, which used to be everywhere at my old house and it spread the garbage everywhere, and our neighbors garbage.

[Bone]

That's a bummer really...

I start fellign sorry for the animals at a point, because the humans just keep encroaching on their land.

[Brokensticks]

Yah that too, but my dad had to pick up all the garbage.

[rockindrummer]

There are coyotes up here too. Sometimes you can see them at night in the park across from my house. The racoons are quite funny actually they go through garbage cans when ever they can. I have a pretty sweet picture of about 6 of them in a tree in my back yard.

[rockindrummer]

hehehe brokensticks has to avatars!! sweet!

[Brokensticks]

O my, that reminds me of a story about racoons which literally scared the **** out of me! :lol: ( just joking ) But my aunt and uncle used to have a big, like really big tree fort in their backyard and some racoons would live in it at nighttime because we would go up there and find droppings they had left us, and one day at maybe say 4:00 in the afternoon I start climbing up the huge ladder to get up there and I pop my face up and right like maybe 2 feet away are 2 or 3 baby racoons and the mother proably like 8 feet away. It scared the **** out of me and I went down the ladder so fast and ran.

[Brokensticks]

hehehe brokensticks has to avatars!! sweet!

What?
:confused:

[rockindrummer]

Right after I posted your old black and white sonor pic was on the post above bones and then the post above mine had the pic you have now.

[Brokensticks]

O, well I have the cowbell in this shot of my 3005's and those are not b8 hats :rolleyes:

[rockindrummer]

I see that looks like a nice kit, still havn't seen full pics of it yet though :mad:

[Brokensticks]

What's your MSN do you have one?

[rockindrummer]

sdrawkcab_nam@hotmail.com and you?

[Brokensticks]

You'll see when I add you, if i'm on MX i'm always on MSN.

[rockindrummer]

^ Alright cool. That is pretty much the same with me, being on mx and msn that is.

Well, you'd pwn my drumming gifts...

X360... AWAY!!! *flies away into the sky*

[Brokensticks]

I don't think i'll get it all but thats all I asked for and I have a decent sized family so if they go in together and get some... I duno.

[rockindrummer]

X Box 360 is pretty intense though. I hope to get a hi hat stand and then buy a pedal, and a throne with the money I get from working this week and next week then also the money from gifts.

[The Ska Man]

I HATE THE 360's. They are an abomination to all video games. I hope they get dreamcasted by the PS3. Which is actually not so much a hope, but a prophecy, it'll happen. It'll stop dead in its tracks.

Death to XBOX!

I suddenly totally love Peart.

So much.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

nvm faith i think i got it.

[Double Bass Jim]

His old kits were the best

[Undisco Kidd]

I can now NEVER hate peart. Not that I ever did.

But if he got sponsered by Ahead, and did a drum duet rock opera with Joey Jordison about a gay spaceman falling in love with aliens, I would still love him.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

I wouldnt.
Thats taking things to far Mr.Peart.

[Double Bass Jim]

He'd never do such a thing

[Undisco Kidd]

But still. Slingerlands. Hottest. Ever.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

He'd never do such a thing

And thank god for that.

[LittlePound]

i dunno, maybe when he hits his midlife crisis......who knows what he'll do, but i do think before that he'd be the gay guy making love to the aliens before playing with joey jordison:lol:

[Undisco Kidd]

You would have to do a lot of... stuff... to degrade yourself to that of playing with Joey.

[LittlePound]

well i dunno, after being gay and sleeping with aliens....that seems pretty degrading but it'd still take a whole lot of cash to convince him

[Undisco Kidd]

Oh man. I just found this picture.

Slipknot is way too hardcore for regular items.

They're also too hardcore for good music.

Go to urbandictionary.com and look up Tony Danza.

Neil would have to get one of those from a woman named Bruce before he sinks as low as to play with Joey.

[LittlePound]

you know...that's kinda of gross....i thought i was taking it a little far with the alien sex...but now....i've got images i didn't want in my head

man check out the last thing for spiderman...hahahahha....at that urbandictionary site or whatever...that's awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[Undisco Kidd]

urbandictionary will lead to the fall of society, but its damn funny.

[Epiphender]

HAHA my mom's always asking me things like, for example, "What are peeps?!?" because she reads this NBA message board online. So I directed her to urbandictionary.com for whenever she wants to know these kinds of things. :lol:

[Double Bass Jim]

Hello epipipi :D

the PS3 is gonna get floored, thats why they delayed the release date...why would they make it so the game gets uploaded into the hardrive?make it impossible to rent, just as well as having to buy all the games/redo all the games if your PS3 ever craps out..xbox360 is keeping it nice and simple with a game console that works great for everybody...

So I just designed my first draft for my bass drum head, opinions? The holes arn't definate, I thought they'd just look cool on the design.

I think I recreated the ITN news backdrop (from scratch) quite successfully.

Shame he retired though.

[Trev]

Haha thanks guys, I'll post pics of it when it arrives. :)

Shame he retired though.
Yeah. Although at least he went out with dignity, there was a lot of speculation that he would be moving to Sky News. Although he's still going to continue with Tonight With Trevor Mcdonald, so it's not all bad.

[BetweenTheEchoes]

So DBJ, when do you plan on coming out of the closet?

EDIT: I just read your title...*Tear* you already did.

Ba ha ha ha, they'll be using that same slogan in a few years when Joey Jordison endorses viagra.

Well seeing as how your spectrum of music went from good to bad, I'd say you could get a Stage Ride or B8 Ride and you'd be equally happy.

[Jezen]

Bwaahaha!

I enjoy any kind of music, so don't flame me, I like Dream Theater to Kelly Clarkson.
