[BetweenTheEchoes]

When was the last time you visited Kristian?

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Well i didnt get the crash, they sold it.. the jerks.

So im going to try and get a 16" Vault or something. Im going to the city today.

[The Ska Man]

Mine also says 592.

[puppet.master]

592 for me

wheres chippy his msn status is set to brb but he never came back :(


i needed to ask some mic questions

im gonna get a mic for my computer but i need one that ill be able to record my drums on with better quality than the ****ty computer mic i got

ive been looking on the futureshop website but thier all vocals and im wondering if the sound created by the drums would be out of thier range or too lound and break the mic i only really wanna spend like 30 bucks max

[BetweenTheEchoes]

Sadly, I know nothing about mics.

Mmm...Mudvayne....

[Drum Phil]

Off to the drum shop tomorrow. Hoping to come back with t3h zil-bel, splash or some hand percussion.

[rockindrummer]

Make sure you get some pics up of whatever you get!

[Win A Rabbit]

hello everyone. i haven't showered since wednesday night. my hair is incredibly greasy at the moment. my rash on my arms is nearly gone, but my coughing is still here. that buckley's is great stuff. the taste isn't so bad either, considering it's in your mouth for half a second. the night time stuff puts me right to sleep, too. there's nothing on tv, and i don't feel like watching a movie in my room. time to waste on the computer. all my friends are gone until 7. snowboarding and working. i haven't played my kit in, gosh, it must be close to 2 months now. pad every day. rudiments rudiments rudiments. i've been working on accents alot lately. can never get enough accents. and ghost notes. i'm wearing my new pajama pants that i got for christmas. they're very comfortable. i just noticed a few minutes ago that they have silk in the pockets. it feels nice. i also got slippers for christmas. very soft, as slippers are for the first little while you wear them. anyways, i'm going to go read or sleep or do pushups, i don't know yet. bye.

[Brokensticks]

Make sure you get some pics up of whatever you get!
123 there!

And sic that sounds pretty sh*tty there. Hope you feel better soon :thumb:

[rockindrummer]

Pad work is awsome sic. I myself have been doing a lot of pad work aswell but I still put some time in on the kit aswell.

[puppet.master]

i dont do enough pad work or rudiments

im gonna start working through stick control today

[styler]

i need to start working out of stick control too, i can just never find something i feel like practicing..so i just do the basics rudiments with accents...im such a lazy *** :(


edit: im off to l&m in a few moments as well..gonna spend the $700 in giftcards i got from all my family...i knew asking for the cards instead of money would pay off...woot

anyway, im gonna by 2 boom stands, one for my 6" B8pro splash, and another for my 12" ice bell...maybe a cowbell and a nice cowbell stand to put it over to my far left next to my ride..also probably anatomy of a drum solo as well....anybody recomend picking anything up?

[Futuro]

im gonna start working through stick control today Thats a great book. It seems like that is the standard for drum studies nowadays.

[Jezen]

$700 for 2 boom stands and a cowbell? You must live in Australia right.

Wait, it still doesn't cost that much there. And they don't have L&M in Australia....

Where the hell is your money going? Go buy a 27" Wuhan China.

[puppet.master]

no he lives in canada

he might not be spending all his money though

[Drum Phil]

I shall get pics. Not really a zildjian man but i cant say no to a half price sale

Lookin at crashes too

[Win A Rabbit]

well i finally set up my bass drum, snare, and hats. played for a good little while. and i tested out the recording function on my zen. works like a charm. i recorded a little groove in 11, i'm uploading it now.

[Aaron]

hello strongholders. how was everyones christmas celebrations? mine're still going!

[DuckinFutch]

really?

Two days after christmas?

[Drum Phil]

Im lookin at the following:

17" A crash
16" A custom crash
15" K crash
14" K custom dark crash
k 10" splash
A custom 10" Splash
K custom 10" Splash
6/9.5" Zilbel

What do you reckon?

[Massik Kretal]

14" crash = pointless

[Drum Phil]

Not really, i like my 15" Crash. Its in the sale so im broadening my horizons

[Massik Kretal]

What ever floats your boat.

When you get the K Dark crashes be sure to send em to me.

[Drum Phil]

haha you wish what? ;)

[Aaron]

really?

Two days after christmas?
yeah, i'm gettin so fat.. haha, and i've lost my voice from drinking so much of everything.. coffee, beer, scotch...

[Josiah]

14" crash = pointless


Hardly.

What a odd thing to say.

Think of it as a small crash or large splash.. but hardly pointless.

In fact 14" crashes have a lil more usefulness then most crashes. They can double for a hi-hat cymbal.

One the best hat's I ever heard used a 14" K Custom Dark crash for the top.

[Aaron]

I agree that they're versitile, IMO though they're almost in the special effect cymbal [splash/china..] category.. so i'd buy them last.

14" K Custom Fast Crash over Ufip Rough Series Medium Heavy Bottom works well.

[Massik Kretal]

Hmm thats interesting. But too me its too big for a splash and too small for a crash. But hihat seems interesting.

[Aaron]

little crashes are good for crashing at the same time as bigger crashes for adding tone and fleshiness to the mix. fattens out the crash sound when you hit two at once.

[Drum Phil]

Thats what i do with them. I used a 15" crash as a main for over a year though

[mysticalyeti]

Depends on the crash... I've played a 14" K custom fast crash that was PERFECT as a large splash. Had a wonderful sound, a bit on the trashy side. I hope to get one some day =/

[Win A Rabbit]

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=369222

enjoy. haven't recorded anything in ages. sound quality's not the best, and my hats sound terrible. no metronome, this came out of a little improv session. hopefully buying some new hats with my next paycheque.

[Brokensticks]

I just saw Fun with Dick and Jane.... It wasn't bad but not one that i'd recommend spending 10$ to go see. It's a renter.

[Janeway]

Ah.
Just got back from another lovely day of shopping and a dinner at Applebee's.
I got Lumines for PSP, DOOM collectors edition for PC, a Vic Firth pad, and a pair of Danney Carey sigs.
They feel kind of weird.
They're super light and they seem to bounce a lot. I don't know exactly how to grip them though...

[BetweenTheEchoes]

Yeah I played with those Carrey sticks at a Guitar Center once. Didn't like the feel of them.

I loved the Steve Gadd signature sticks though.

[Jezen]

It's funny that you should get a pair of sticks without actually liking the feel...


Oh here's a great one:

what size?

[Janeway]

...
They don't let you try out sticks at GC.
Atleast at mine.
Plus they were 1/2 off.

[BetweenTheEchoes]

Meh. Carrey is such an amazing drummer, just owning a pair of sticks he endorsed would make me feel honored.

And yeah, a lot of places don't let you try sticks. But I guess I'm just a suave mother ****er :naughty:

[Janeway]

Isn't it like a 32"?

[Win A Rabbit]

i think it was supposed to be? i'm just passing time. my parents are leaving in seconds, then i can go play drums again. wee-hoo.

[Jezen]

Nah it's just 30", but Porkupine was telling me that you can get 44" Gothic Radius'.

Still, nothing beats the fabled Zildaisteabian 66" Heavy Gospel Ride.

[Win A Rabbit]

whoa. my rash is completely gone on my right arm. that moisturizer cream my mom uses does wonders. and it's nearly gone on my left. this stuff is great.

[Jezen]

^^^
Aqueous cream? Please don't tell me you use quartezone....

[Win A Rabbit]

it's dormer something. it was like $20 for a bottle of it. crazy expensive, but works magnificently.

my parents are gone. i'm gonna go play drums. be back in a while.

nah... I've actually played on that cymbal. It's so bad as you might think, it's got a very odd low pitch though.

You just can't get it to build up the nessicary vibrations with out doing a mallet roll, and even then you'd have to be rolling fairly hard to get it to open up.

has anyone here seen 'curb your enthusiasm' ? i've heard good and bad about it, but i don't seem to get it ever on my tv. the seasons are like $35 each, and i've thought about buying them many times to see if it's any good, but it's just a bit too expensive for me to gamble on. i've tried downloading episodes on limewire, but they always get to like 5% and then it says "more sources needed". argh.

Oooh.
I found an ancient JVC tape deck in the basement with two microphones.
I hooked it up ghetto style, one on a stand in the corner and one slung over a pipe on the ceiling and recorded myself for a good 40 minutes.
The sound quality is actually pretty decent. No back ground noise, none of the drums were distorted and the only thing that sounded funny was my ride.
Made me realize that I'm sloppier than I thought I was.
Hmm...

[Epiphender]

14" crash = pointless

Far from it. I've been making good use of mine for four years.

What do you call splashes then?

I'll be sure to order you a girl from Aunt Jemima's Fattie Cow Mill for your birthday.

[Jezen]

Fat mammas are worse the pencil-thin insect girls. I like slim girls, but they have to have some weight on them.

I mean, it's like the difference between Buffy Tyler and the Olsen twins...

[Janeway]

She's got weight on her!
She doesn't eat meat or drink, so you can't expect her to be fat, but you can't really count her ribs.
I don't like boy's taste in women.

[Josiah]

Very little, she's dangerouslly close to being underweight. You can tell she's very border line between healthy and non.

Secondly, meat is about 85% protein. People don't get fat from eating meat. Most meat products, and other high protein foods are used by the body to repair/build muscles and tendons.


Thirdly, mens natural taste in women is very logical and makes good sense. The natural instinct is for a man to be attracted to a women who will be able to procreate, be healthy enough to withstand pregancy and live long enough to mother a child.
When girls make themselves that skiny, it's a natural turn off. It doesn't look healthy and doesn't trigger the natural responses because some doubt is cast as to the suitability of the women as a mate due to health concerns.

This goes far beyond consicous thought processes. It stems in the neuro-bio systems of the body.
When a womens body fat % drops below a particular point, they stop menstrating and can no longer become pregnet. This is the bodies natural defense for self preservation. The body, knowing it requires a % of fat stores in the body to handle the stress of a pregnancy, starts shutting systems down in fear of catistrophic failure if pregancy occurs. This is a VERY common occurance among female professional athlete's. This naturally occuring self preservation mechanism in the womens body is the same in all women.

The male neuro-bio systems in the brain also naturally know these things and essentially, unhealthy women are less attractive because of that.

Buy your choice of lugs.

Mark out evening spacing around shell. Drill mount holes.

Put lugs on.

Put head on. (possibly change edge if you wish).

Done.

Buy mounting brakets. Drill holes. Put braket on. Mount Octobon.

Cheers BB. Looking through 'em. I was saving for a Sonor 2005, but I'm looking at other kits right now. It'd take me years to save up enough ATM though, I need a job.

Go for a Pacific CX of MX if you want to add on... I don't think they have much in the add on department for the FS's.

Thanks for the info, I don't know much about PDPs.

Get someone to try it for you!

[Jezen]

Not very difficult....

It was just any old guide, rather vague on material types, didn't explain much..
There seemed to be very few people who knew about it.

Guys

Who was selling that AAX dark crash on ebay that was an MX member a few weeks ago?

Anyone wanna help me find a good crash on ebay, i got like 170$ Cdn.

[Janeway]

Roots?

[Panopticon]

[-TheGlassPrison-]

[rockindrummer]

I think someone bought it in the end. And no I don't have his email.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

[Aaron]

[Jezen]

[Aaron]

[Janeway]

hey pespi! where you been?
Right here.
I'm just on at different hours for shorter periods of time 'cause I ain't at school.

[Aaron]

ah sick. hows the banjo? i want to buy one but im scared of them.. lol

[Jezen]

rootin or roo-in?

Ewww man!

[Aaron]

not a hunter?

[Janeway]

Why fear the banjo?
It's so inbred it can't harm you.

AND I LOVE CRANBERRY SAUCE!
All my life I figured I didn't like it, so I never ate it. For some odd reason I decided to eat a slice this thanksgiving and now I can't stop eating it.
Only the stuff from the can, though.
My sister brought home this crappy stuff made with whole cranberries and orange peels, and it's awful.

[Jezen]

Perhaps I overstated what you said, but no i'm not cruel.

[Janeway]

I REALLLLLY wish I hadn't recorded myself.
Now I think I suck beyond normality, I hate the sound of my bass drum and toms, and I just practiced stick control for an hour and a half straight because I think I'm sloppy with overdue chops.
UGH.

[Jezen]

OMFG THIS IS THE BEST! I was in tears of laughter at the end!

I'd like to see Thomas Lang and Stanton Moore kissing.


No, because then I'd have to kidnap T.Lang. Or at least get a restraining order from each other.

[Janeway]

Why?

Why?


He'd give him cooties.:amaze:

new avatar beetches Yeah, same here.

[Win A Rabbit]

man, i've been messing around with the reverse effects on audacity, came up with some sweet beats using both the regular track and the reversed reverse track playing simultaneously. you record one part normally, then record the same thing backwards, then flip it around. depending on how you align the two in relation to each other, you get some neat sounds out of otherwise bland, robotic sounding midi files.

[Tim]

I need a new avatar. :( . i might just keep the jojo and just take the santa hat off and put like thos stupid new year glasses that go like 2006 and the 00's are eyes. hah.

[Brokensticks]

NICE!

Nah, not yet man, waiting for my dad to get home so we can both watch it

[Seafroggys]
