it does say corn dog, his avatar is 3 corn dogs on a stick right?

[Half Life]

what kind of files do i pods play? how bout the dell ipod?

^Probably just your typical old MP3's, but if you have some uploaded music on your computer as WMA's, I'm not to sure. Try looking on the Apple website or something. As far as the Dells go, haha, they're not IPods, they're just regular MP3 players, but along the lines of the IPods. I think they can do MP3's along with WMA's too. Just google them for some info to be sure.

[Simple Man]

It's something weird and it gives the profile of the last poster and at the moment Corn Dog was but superfacist posted when before I posted. Meh, Sorry.

[Tim]

just got home from teh vendetta red concert. it was pretty tight. its always good to see a drummer who doesnt do simple beats that are the same as every other band.

[Futuro]

i just tottally exploded a mosquitto, i did the thing BB mentioned, a mosquito was biting my forearm, so i tightened it up,and.........POP!!!!! they just pop, it was hilarious :lol:

[Tim]

okay well ive decided since i never use my 10inch tom on my pacific cx that im gonna sell it and put the money toward things i actually need.....like i said its 10inch and only about 5 months old...rarely played and looks brand new except a couple stick marks on the top head.....ive replaced th stock head with g2 over g1 too. about how much do you think i could get for this? its $100 brand new on MF so i figure i can make $50 off of it since its still new and the stock heads are replaced already....is $50 an alright price?

[Josiah]

A good tom is worth more then $50 just to have around.

Learn to use it.


That's a flaw in your playing if you don't. If nothing else.. it sits and collects dust. Why you wouldn't use a 10" tom I can't really see unless you just have a hard on for 4 piece sets or somethin...

dont really like 10inch toms. i use more cymbals than toms. I mean ive used it i jsut dont use it alot. i just think a 10 is jsut too high pitched for what i want. not that i cant use it....i jsut dont wanna use it.

[Jezen]

i want an i pod, not sure what to get though, i want something that can take files from my windows media player, any suggestions?

If you get one of the larger ones, then you can use it as an external hard drivve.

[Josiah]

i just think a 10 is jsut too high pitched for what i want. not that i cant use it....i jsut dont wanna use it.

Well it's far lower pitched then the cymbals you play more of...

You can tune them down too.

Or perhaps you just like the roaring thunder of big toms... don't we all!

[mprules]

i actually like high pitched toms, they sounds gooooood

[PowerStamp]

I too was considering getting an iPod, but getting a new computer is ahead of the books on that one for me lol


Does anyone here have a PSP?
They released Firmware 2.0 for it in Japan, which has an INTERNET BROWSER!! lol for real
So ****in cool. Eat THAT DS!

[Voodoo Rabbit]

They released a 'Metal Gear Solid...' Game for PSP....I think It was something like 'Metal Gear Solid : Acid' or the like....

*Ramdom posting*

[Refl]

Metal Gear Acid, it's an ok game.
Far too hard though.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Don't you have to play cards with people, or something?....
And being too hard is better than being to easy - 'Metal Gear Solid 2' anyone?....

[Refl]

None of the games appeal to me.

I'm still waiting for titles on psp that appeal to me more.

I'm going to japan in a few weeks so i'll see what I can pick up.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Ohhhh!....Japan sounds fun....
Except for this really gay boy that I know, who goes on and on about Japan consistenly..He's such a Prick....

same here, easier to tune in my opinion too

[Win A Rabbit]

well i just got up and played drums for a while. man, has anyone heard "eagles become vultures" by converge? i had heard pretty much every other song on that cd except that one before i bought it, and the drum intro blew me away.

anyways, me and my friends are going camping on the 15th, 16th, and 17th, and im gonna try to stay drunk through the whole trip. the 8 of us are pitching in something like $5-700 total for booze :lol: it's gonna be amazing. oh god i can't wait. i'm gonna get up at like 10 a.m. and have 6 or 7 shots, then once i feel that starting to wear down, i'll take a few more.

and i'm going partying tonight because my friend's getting back anytime now. i think i'm gonna go for some jd tonight, because i've been saying i'll stray away from my captain mo's for a while, but i always come crawling back to him :lol:

[Half Life]

Sic, you need to cut back :amaze: Haha, your liver's going to fail one of these times :lol:

[Win A Rabbit]

it's my teen years, i gotta live them up while they're still here... :confused:

well i just weighed myself after my shower and realized that i've gained 15 pounds since the last time i weighed myself. i'm guessing this is from summer break, sleeping in, eating really fatty foods for breakfast lunch and supper, and then eating sandwiches or nachos before i go to bed. so i decided i'm going to go on a diet for 2 weeks until camping, because i'll probably eat alot camping anyways. i'm not going to restrict myself from eating certain foods or anything, i'm just going to watch what i eat. i'm going to drink alot of water because i heard it keeps you full longer and it doesn't have calories or fat or carbs in it. any diet experts know anything i should try to stay away from? right now i'm at 180. let's see how much i can lose in 14 days. place your bets.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

hello again

[Brendan]

hey


bah i had the worst hangover today. i was throwing up all over the place and i was so disoriented. not knowing your limits sucks

[Win A Rabbit]

i know my limit. i get it perfect 90% of the time. the odd time i guess wrong :lol:

i think i'm going into the city right away, and if i can borrow some money from my mom, i'm sure i'll walk out of there with some new hats or a new ride. i get paid monday, so i hope i can borrow $100-ish from her.

[Brendan]

sweet, any idea what you want?

[Win A Rabbit]

sweet, any idea what you want?
for a ride, something like an a heavy ride or an a ping ride, and for hats i really dont know. i'm gonna try out some 13" hats, because i've heard recordings of them on sabian/zildjian sites, but those clips are never accurate. i don't think i'm going anymore anyways, because he said he'd call me around 3, and its almost 6 now. plus, we're partying tonight so we wouldn't get back very early.

[Futuro]

i got it off, thank god.

this thing is awsome, i never thought i would really dig little effect cymbals, but man... i love this little guy.

[Seafroggys]

Okay call me crazy but help me out here:

So there's this girl I like (no, don't stop reading, please!)

Anyway, we know each other, but I wouldn't consider each other friends. Junior year we co-starred in the One Acts together (when I started really liking her, but had a g/f at the time) but ever since then we rarely talked and stuff....mostly my fault, because I'd get all shy around her (god I feel like a 12 year old, but its true!) but we had 'some' conversations over the past 2 years.

Anyway, now we're both graduated, and I'm probably never gonna see her again.

I've spent a lot of this summer hoping "Oh well maybe when I'm out and about I'll run into her and we'll start talking and stuff and maybe we can start doing stuff together.....as friends." Now its obvious that I'm dreaming there. If I think like that, nothing will ever happen.

Yesterday I started thinking about her (**** I'm a hopeless romantic stalker) again. And then the most obvious idea struck me....why don't I call her?

I can be fairly socialble at times, but I'm not neccesaryily the most sociable person. I'm the type where if you start the conversation with me, I'm fine and open, but I cannot start a conversation to save my life except if its with maybe my best friend (even with my regular friends I can't start a conversation) and my now ex-g/f. So the obvious solution I thought of is really hard for me to do, and I know I'm gonna be nervous as hell too calling her up, me taking the initative.

Now I don't want to get all in a relationship right away. I want to become good friends with her first. Anyway, my plan is to call her (on Monday) and just tell her I'm trying to get a hold of everybody I know because its been a lonely summer, so hopefully that can start a hopefully long conversation. And I'll see what goes from there.

Now if I call her home and she's not there, I don't want to leave me name and number, but just ask when I can reach for her again. I'll just say I'm an 'old school-mate'. If I leave it up to her to call me back, the chances of a conversation decrease because I know that people don't deliver messages or call people back they missed. Its just something people do.

Anyway, I found her phone number and everything, but I was wondering what the rest of you people think. Any suggestions ideas for my grand plan? And the great thing is......I've got absolutly nothing to lose. Even if I do make a fool out of myself (which has happened before in my life) its not like I'm gonna be seeing her or any of her friends again for a long time, and I'll doubt word will get around to my friends and stuff. I've got nothing to lose.

Anyways, any comments?

[Double Bass Jim]

Next are the chinas :cool:

[Half Life]

Anyways, any comments?

Haha, I know I'm being so helpful but....your such a dork Seafroggys :lol: Nah, I'm just kidding man. Straight up call her dude. It's the best way to get in touch. Maybe if you guys strike a good convo you can maybe meet her somewhere. Then charm her *** in person and then....

oh yes....


































booty time for you sir :thumb:

Next are the chinas :cool:

chinas are freakin bad. im so glad i bought one. i want a 20 inch now that i have an 18 then i want a 16 too. so decent

Anyways, any comments?

First of all, I like your attitude, so...

Here's what you do, it's fairly simple;

If you call her, 3 main, possible things can happen.

1. You don't get a answer, don't leave a message WHATEVER YOU DO, you'll ramble, or loose your nerve, and it'll most likely wind up doing more harm than good. I know I've tried it before I can't wing messages, there's just too much pressure.

2. Her parents and/or simblings pick up first. In which case you ask to speak to whatever her name is. If she's not there, ask when she may be back, and ask the parent/sibling to tell her that you called. It's always nice to hear someone has called for you. If however she is able to talk, good show.

3. The main goal, the converstion. You say your "hello"s, and don't forget to state who you are up front, in a casual way of course, make it seem like you shouldn't have to. The rest is just how you feel at the time, feel free to include mindless small talk about your summer, and hers, don't neglect giving her a chance to run her mouth, hahaha. The "eat and apple on the phone" technique like George does to make yourself more comfortable could be an option for you as well. Finally, just ask her to hang out sometime, note: renting movies and watching them at your/her has a much more intimate feel than the theatres.

And there you have it, tell me how it goes.

Give it to yourself for doing this, it takes some effort on your part, but I would hate to see you not act at all.

Nooo problem.

Yes, say something along the lines of, "Ok, could you tell her that "Jerry" called, thanks alot" don't forget that pep in the voice!

Yea he's GREAT man, nice dynamics

[-Obscurity-]

If you want it to seem casual, than you might not want to. If she knows you are looking for her, than she is going to know something's up. You probably want to catch her off gaurd and have her pleasantly surprised by your call, rather than give her time to think of every possible reason you would be calling. (girls do that)

Also, the whole "I want to be friends first, then more later" is a good premise, but seldom works out well. Start dropping hints after the second of third time you see her. Compliment her, say you really enjoy her etc. You have a limited timeframe before she puts you in the "just friends" category, and if she doesn't think you like her, she may even go for someone else before your plan has completely unfolded.

[Seafroggys]

Actually my name is Justin, but close ;)

Come to think of it I'll probably need to use my full name..... :P

EDIT for above post: Yeah I was thinking about that too. If I leave my name she'll probably think of reasons for not calling me back. I want to surprise her too, because I know women love surprises (quite a bit of experience from my last g/f, mind yuo).

You're right, but I'm under the impression that hes never called this girl before, so it may also be best to not seem all "buddy buddy" with her, which can creep people out sometimes.

I don't think the - giving her time to think of why someone might have called her - is a bad idea, it incites curiosity.

You're also right Seafroggys, the best situation would be the surprise call, where you don't have to deal with the parents or siblings.

Your a guy right?....
The recomended calorie intake for men is about 2500 (I think), So, genreally try to keep to that limit, or below it....
Drinking water is a good idea....Or try to eat a lot of Negative Calorie foods (Some Fruits and Vegtables(?)-)...there's lists of them on the internet....
If you google it, you'll probably find out more....

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

if ya wanna lose weight eat celary it use more cllories to eat it then you et from it lol

[Voodoo Rabbit]

That's *what I was taking about - Negative Calories

[Josiah]

You want to loose weight?


Here's a hint - Put down the fork.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

^ There's that aswell....

[Josiah]

I think if people just eliminated fast food from their diets they'd be amazed at how much healthier they are.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

There was a T.V Show about that....Wasn't there?....

It the way the world works now-a-days, that causes all this I expect (Like greed and moeny etc.)....

[Win A Rabbit]

oh god i'm hung over. i drank my mickey (captain mo's, i couldn't get jd) in 2 shots. then we walked around and i had some herb, which got me quite a bit more intoxicated. at which point i had a colt, which just took me over. i couldn't stand straight, and i tried to go to sleep but they said i should keep walking, so i told them i'd go for a walk and fell asleep in the grass (i'm full of mosquito bites) and i threw up quite a bit. not much compared to last time i threw up though. after i did that, they found me and lifted me up (it was 10:00 at this time, there was no way i was going home like that) so we walked around for a while, then they went to my friends house. i didn't feel good standing in one spot, so i stumbled around his block a few times, then went in and sat infront of the ol' bucket. after a while the sickness went away, and i was feeling great again. then i thought it was a good idea to sleep on his table. after about 5 minutes of sleep, it was back up again. i dry heaved for about 10 minutes, then i was good for the rest of the night. i was able to walk home fine, and didn't wake anyone up, which is a very good thing.

any cures for hangovers? this is the worst i've had.

p.s. captain mo got a new label (and bottle altogether) it looks sweet.

[Chris]

Water, drink loads of it.

That is what DBJ told me when i came on here with a really bad hangover

[Simple Man]

Fast Food is just too good to give up.

I don't need to lose weight though so it's all good.

Josiah and Jim, Go vote in the award thread!

[Win A Rabbit]

i've been drinking water, but i was always told that drinking water while hungover doesn't really do much, because you're already de-hydrated or something???

and about losing weight, i'm off fast food for 14 days, and i'm definately going to limit my fast food intake (mostly because of money) but are there certain common household foods that really aren't good weight-wise? should i stay away from calories, carbs, fat, ? there's diets for everything but i don't know which one to believe works.

[Chris]

But it will flush the poison out your system. It works really.

The worst hangover i had was when i drank 1L of vodka and 1/2L or smurdolf ice in about 10 minutes.
From what i was told people had to cheak on me every 5minutes to see if i died, and my pluse went really low. The cure for that was to go canoeing in teh sea the next day :D

[Refl]

I pretty much exclusively eat italian food.

I'm thin.

[Jezen]

Hampton is god!

Check this out: http://www.drummerworld.com/Videos/bellhamlam.html

Its probably nothin new to you guys, but now and then an 'amazing' drummer will do something incredible like juggle 3 sticks whilst playing. Lionel Hampton, all those years ago, was doing it with 4 !!!! Watch the end of the vid! Its incredible.

[Simple Man]

That is awesome. Hampton in incredible.

[Double Bass Jim]

HAha no no.. Jim is the one with the vans.. and candy...
:lol:

[Jezen]

I got my 12" Premier Snare today. The depth is either 6 or 7", and it kicks so much as$. Im worried that it may even kick my own as$.
I also finished Dr Hermann Vogt's 1st Independance book today, and starting tomorrow im doing a one week drum school. 5 days, 20 hours of tuition, 70 pounds.

I rock your socks. :D

[Tim]

ha. bobby_johnny i just noticed youre boycotting PDP. why? did you buy the piccolo snare they made. ha

[Seafroggys]

Okay dragging back my little topic back onto the top.....well, less than 24 hours until I'll make the initial call.

And then I realized I go on vacation on Friday....for 11 days......hmmmm.....

Anyway, I just found out my ex g/f of 2.5 years, whom I was dating merely 5 months ago, is now engaged. This is really interesting.

[Win A Rabbit]

i just got back from the city. we didnt go to west ed like we were supposed to, so no cymbals for me. :upset:

but i did get the zeppelin dvd and 'petitioning the empty sky' by converge. now i'm going to go shower. yee haw.

[Fuzzy]

Seafroggys, that's some "interesting" crap. When you find that stuff out you get that weird feeling in the pit of your stomach, that little voice that tends to scream "Now what the hell?" Best of luck to you, make that phone call count :thumb:

Me? Relationship wise? Ugh, nightmare ^_^ Fuzzy likes two girls, but there is only one Fuzzy. Time to break out the pimp hat >_>;

[Half Life]

^Haha, arn't girls fun? :lol:

[nawrockon]

Yeah, iam Drew, nice to meet u.
I am 14 and I am from Northern New Jersey. I have been playing my drums for roughly 6 months now, and I love it. I spend most of my time chillin with friends. I play my drums everyday till the whole neighborhood jumps and then I stop. I have a black Ludwig with Zildjian crash, ride, and splash cymbals. I will begin high school this year. One major charectaristic about me is that i am very tall. six feet at 14. anyway, i like comming to this forum and post and say all types of crazy s**t. anyway, cool.

[Jezen]

High school at 14? I went to high school at 11...:amaze:

[Win A Rabbit]

^ it's a boy genius!!! haha in my town we go to the high school in grade 9, but actual high school doesn't start till grade 10. i never really understood that.

well i'm goin to my friends house for a huge fire right away. first i'm learnin some more zep on guitar.

[Tim]

^That's the pits. That's kind of how it's been for me. All the chicks I take a liking to just want to be my friend and all the "others" I turn down just stay obsessed :upset: I hate how life works sometimes :lol:

[Double Bass Jim]

I've had some hanger ons, I blow em off though I can't dedicate time to others.

[Plan B.]

:lol:

[Double Bass Jim]

Haha im actually serious, if I have to be around ANYONE for more then a day at most im already ready to jump off a tall object head first. Everyone gets old after awhile to me at least.

[Plan B.]

Haha you're so great, be my father. I'll pay you.

[isojoe420]

Haha you're so great, be my father. I'll pay you.
:amaze:

[Simple Man]

Jim, You need to fill out the Award thread :p

[Double Bass Jim]

Already done :cool:

[Simple Man]

Haha, I saw, I went back in there and I saw it.

[Seafroggys]

12 hours until I make the phone call.

Holy crap I'm nervous already! She'll probably be so surprised to hear from me.

Y'know, I'm not fearing rejection. If she doesn't care for me, then fine, I'll be sad, but I'm starting college and I'm in a band so I'll find groupies no problem :naughty:

But what I'm fearing is a: She's going far away for college (like opposite coast) or b: She already has a boyfriend.

If either of those are true, there is possibility for us to get together, but those things pretty much screw any chances I have over anyway. Not liking me is one thing, but liking me but having those other obligataions would hurt even worse.

[PowerStamp]

good luck man.
Just breathe easy, relax, and call her like it's no big deal, like as if you called her every day.

[Jezen]

Yeah. The conversation will flow alot easier if you pretend you have always been friends.

[Tim]

make sure there is never a silent moment. chicks hate when its all quiet on the phone. sends a bad message

[Seafroggys]

God I hate those silent moments. Trust me, I aim on talking a lot (or getting her to talk alot, which would be even better).....

Lots to talk about too..........should I bring up my ex at all (like telling her about her getting married......)?

[PowerStamp]

Hm
With hopes of getting with this girl, no. Just somehow mention somehow that you've become recently single.

If you talk about your ex it might seem you're still attached to her. You do NOT want her to think that wether it's true or not lol

[Tim]

God I hate those silent moments. Trust me, I aim on talking a lot (or getting her to talk alot, which would be even better).....

Lots to talk about too..........should I bring up my ex at all (like telling her about her getting married......)?

never bring up exes dude. shell think you still have something for her. just make it known you are single though

[Seafroggys]

Well I'm off to bed now.

I'll probably go on right before I call, and I will definitally post afterwards.

I'll need like an hour of meditation before I make the call.

[Jezen]

Took the rudiment test again. Scored 97% in 6 minutes. Im getting better.

[dumbassdrummer]

What's the rudiment test?

btw, I havent done this yet:
I'm Dana Ingram, from a few place, however I now live in Arkansas. I'm 17 and i have been playing drums since I was about 13, probably. My idols are John bonham, Chad Sexton, Elvin Jones, Neil Peart, and all of the old doo-whop drummers.

[Jezen]

Yes!!! My 3rd Fallout Tactics CD will be done in an hour!!!!!1*^3@#%

That means I can play Fallout when I get home! w00tacious!


And now I have to go to drum school.

[Ethan.]

Holy Crap! Timbales are so awesome. I made one out of my old snare drum and it is heaven for soloing. I love it so much. I just need a stand to put it on. Probably can only mount it on another snare stand though... they cost too much.

[Double Bass Jim]

Haha those snare conversions can sound decent, nothin like a real timbale though. If you go and try some out at the store compare them to how the snare sounds at home, it's a very different sound.

[Win A Rabbit]

whoo!!! goin' partying tonight, because last time we waited for my friend to get back, but he didn't get back that night. he got back yesterday when we were having the fire, so NOW we're partying with him :lol:

well i'm gonna go shower, because i still have the smell of throwup in my hair :lol: i didn't shower yesterday. then i think i'll play drums for a while before my parents get home.

[Seafroggys]

Yes!!! My 3rd Fallout Tactics CD will be done in an hour!!!!!1*^3@#%

That means I can play Fallout when I get home! w00tacious!


And now I have to go to drum school.

I love that game. Never got around to beating it though, once I got to the robots all my guys were only skilled in small guns so I did **** for damage.

Anyway, I shall make the phone call in the next 15 minutes or so. I'm 3 hours late but I had to do a load of housework since my dad is home. My stomach is churning and I feel really sick, but I have to get through this. I must!

[Plan B.]

Once you start, it will flow, don't worry.

doooooo it

[Ill Mitch]

So I just got back from Pasco, Washington. Man that place is hot. Me and some other people from our church were helping the migrant workers there by helping in the daycare and vbs. I got to pick some apples while I was there, which was a lot harder than it looks. We toured their packing plant and their orchards too, so we got a pretty good idea of what it was like to work there. The orchard we worked at was also the largest apple orchard in the world with over 5,000 acres. So it was a good experience. But it's good to be back.

[Plan B.]

Wicked, I need to go on a trip soon, I'm sick of this place.

On a side note I just orded a pound of wings, wedges and 3 cokes, I'm STARVING!

I was shaking while dialing the phone I was so excited.

[Ill Mitch]

Order me some wings too.

[Seafroggys]

AH GOD ****ING DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!1 NO ONE WAS HOME!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!!!!1 ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

:upset:

[Plan B.]

You didn't leave a message did you?

[Seafroggys]

No I didn't. But apparently they have a fax according to the machine.

I'm gonna call again later tonight, probably about 7:30.

[Plan B.]

Ok, good idea.

Its not that bad now, is it?

[Tim]

boomshakalaka....after 1.5 years of playing i finally decided to learn to do one handed roll and shazzam i can now do it. needs work with both hands but i can do it really good with 1 hand. I did it first on accident but them i was liek hmmm. i figured it out in like 10 minutes. and practiced it for about an hour. freakin decennnt.

[Seafroggys]

Oh crap its too late to call. I don't really want to tell my parents I need to use the phone for possibly 3 hours, so I'm trying to go around them using the phone and going online and stuff. My mom said she was going to go online at 8 to check up on something and then I was gonna call probably 8:30 but she got on late and it'll be after 9 'til she's done.

I'll try again tomorrow, but if I can't get her by then, I'll have to wait until I get back from vacation, which will be.....16th :(

[Double Bass Jim]

Looks like your screwed.

[Half Life]

That's to bad Seafroggys. I feel your pain :upset:

[Plan B.]

Don't worry, try again tomorrow and look forward to your vacation at the same time.

That's not screwed at all, that's quite possibly the best situation if you look at it positively.

[Half Life]

Hopefully you can get a hold of her. That way, if you guys hit it off on the phone and she wants to meet you, she'll have to wait till you get back :cool: Always leave them wanting more. It's the best way to do it :lol:

[Double Bass Jim]

if you look at it positively.
Im the master of negativity.

[Half Life]

^Haha, Jim you have NO IDEA. You can't get much more pessimistic than me :lol:

[Josiah]

When asked if the glass was half full or half empty Jim replied, "Somebodys going to die for drinking my water!!!"

[Double Bass Jim]

Hahahaha

[Plan B.]

Bwahahaha.

[Seafroggys]

Always leave them wanting more. It's the best way to do it :lol:

In most situations, they'll have to wait 20 minutes :lol:

I'm just afraid that an 11 day break after the one call might seem......like too big a break, and if I call afterwards thats just more time loss and things can change for the worse by then.

But I'm not nervous anymore, can't wait to try again tomorrow.

[AMAC]

I remember being really pissed at Jim a few years back in the pit after he openly proclaimed that anyone with STD's deserves it for having sex in the first place.

That was back when Jim and Zakath flamed any poor bastard that had an opposing oppinion of any kind to their own.

Those were good times. :thumb:

[Double Bass Jim]

Haha indeed, I was nuts back then.

[Seafroggys]

Wow that's pretty harsh, Jimmy.

[Double Bass Jim]

I've chilled out alot, i've learned to keep my insane opinions to myself since then. I wasnt too liked in the pit I tell ya that much hahaha

[Tim]

hey jim i know you like wuhan chinas a lot so ill just ask you here instead of starting a whole thread about it....Do the Wuhan chinas project well? i was planning on getting a 16inch. I have an 18inch AA chinese...would that be an ok mix?

[Double Bass Jim]

Yea thatd be a good mix, and they project like no other, there friggin' loud!

[AMAC]

Wuhan Chinas are LOUD.

They project like hell.

If you haven't already played one than I suggest you do before you buy it- Wuhan's make the trashiest and loudest sounding chinas imaginable :P

[Double Bass Jim]

The big ones are so loud man, the 22" can take your head off.

[Tim]

sweet sweet. thanks jim....you too AMAC. havnt tried them but i might as well buy it cuz its a sweet price.

[Tim]

The big ones are so loud man, the 22" can take your head off.

haha sweet. maybe ill get a 22 also. really want a 16 first though.

[Double Bass Jim]

You'll like it.

[AMAC]

sweet sweet. thanks jim....you too AMAC. havnt tried them but i might as well buy it cuz its a sweet price.

Speaking of cheap Wuhan prices- I totally reccomend the 10in Wuhan china for 12 bucks.

It's worth it.

[Tim]

yea. i dont have any clamps though and i wouldnt use a stand for something that small. so im gonna get the 16 for sure. total i want 3 chinas. dont know for sure which size i want on the 3rd though.

[Seafroggys]

Meh, methinks Chinas are overrated, I don't plan on getting any for my set.

However, I sure as hell love my Wuhan splash! :thumb:

[Tim]

instead of the 16 i might jsut get the 18 instead

[Half Life]

Meh, methinks Chinas are overrated

^WTF is wrong with you?

[Plan B.]

Yeah I'm going to have to ask the same thing.

[Seafroggys]

I dunno really. I don't want one, or ever plan on having one. It just doesn't fit into the sound I want.

Too me, a china is an effects cymbal. You have one to use it where appropriate. Some people tend to overglorify them and get like 3-4 and use them all the time.

That's other people though, they have a sound they're looking for, I have the sound I'm looking for. IMO crashes, ride, and hats is all you need (and if you want the extra luxury, add a china, splash, etc.)

[Ethan.]

I got the 12" Wuhan china, I love it, but it decays too fast. I think the 16" will be my next china. I want one that sustains a little bit longer, but isn't too loud.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

*Edit - It don't matter....*

[Win A Rabbit]

tequila = fun night, bad morning. ugh i'm hungover :lol: and i think i'm going to the city to look at hats and a ride (and maybe a 10" wuhan, i've wanted one for a while). i hope i got paid directly into my bank last night, or i'll have to borrow money from my friends.

does anyone/has anyone else drank tequila before? i had always wanted to try it, and it was alot of fun with the salt and limes.

[PowerStamp]

I totally wanna get a 12" Wuhan before our next show, I love my 18" and being able to add sharper accents would be nice.

[Carn]

hmm..besides beer I only like jägermeister (or other herb-based drinks) and some good wodka..never got into whiskey or tequila.

[Win A Rabbit]

i'm not a fan of beer. it used to be the only thing i could drink, then one day i went to drink some after i had a migraine (can't let something minor like a migraine stop you from partying, right?) and i couldn't take more than a sip at a time without feeling sick. since then i feel sick every time i drink beer. vodka is one of the drinks i have to take 5-6 shots at a time, because i can't stand the taste, so it's best to get it down in 2 swigs. haven't tried jagermeister (is it expensive?) and i'm impartial to whiskey. some days it goes down good, some days bad. i freaking love rum though. captain mo's spiced rum, oh so good.

someone recommend me more things to drink. i want to expand my drinking. i've had these already: captain mo's rum, alot of different kinds of rum, whiskey (jd, r&r), vodka (smirnoff, bawls, russian prince), tequila (sauza)

[-Obscurity-]

someone recommend me more things to drink. i want to expand my drinking.

Try some iced tea. No worries about hangovers.

[Win A Rabbit]

i love iced tea. i hate warm tea though. same with iced capp's and coffee.

[-Obscurity-]

i love iced tea. i hate warm tea though. same with iced capp's and coffee.

Warm tea is nasty. That's why Americans left the English and threw all their tea into the ocean.

[Tim]

mmm iced tea. i made a pitcher of it last nite and drank half of it....i had to pee so bad in the nite. i got up about 7 times to take a piss before i fell asleep.

[Hyde]

Holy crap this thing is 89 pages long? Jeez.... I guess I'm a late starter.

My names is Maysam james sartip-Pour Goudarzi. But I mainly go by james. And if you're wondering, I'm half Persian. And my Dad was probably on drugs when he named me. yeah, I live in Riverside CA, and I've been playing drums for a little over two years. Mainly into Metal (Bleck, Death, Power, Heavy, Light, Diet, Zero Calories, With Lime), Big Band and Swing Jazz, Billy Joel, Rod Stewart and as of recent... Billy Idol. I don't quite know what else to say, but yeah... I'll think of something.

[Tim]

nobody really talks about who they are anymore. its more of bs of what we recently did. for instance seafroggys and his lady friend(lover), or how tea recently came up. its mainly people talking about themselves being drunk but its pretty funny.

[Seafroggys]

^^^Haha, lover. Thats the goal anyways!

Making the next phonecall right now! If you don't hear back from me in a little while, all's well! :cool:

[Tim]

goodluck man.

[Josiah]

You know what the problem is here..

You are thinking WAAAAAYYYY too much about it.

It's a girl. There are BILLIONS of them. They aren't superior.. they put on make up too look good and spends mad money getting fixed up just so MEN will find them attractive.

Don't put her on a petistal. It's a privlage for her to talk to you, not the other way around.

Girls get guys pining after them ALL the time. You are just another regular guy trying to get there attention by being the submissive one.

You want to grab her attention. Be a man and step up the plate, be calm, collected and to the point.

She even gets a wiff that you've been spending this much time thinking bout just talking to her.. you're toast. Nothing better to do then sit around thinking about a girl ya don't know.

[Tim]

thank you dr.phil. haha

ha its been a whiel it must be going good. woot. :chug:

[Seafroggys]

Well you're very right Jos (thats right, I got an answering machine, more on that later).

I shouldn't have to think about it, it should be spontaneous. However, seeing as I have never done this before, and I only have one chance to get her before I never have another chance (she's amazing....pretty and a hippy like myself! thats why I don't want to mess this up, because pretty hippies are a rare combination). I like to think everything through and every possible response to every single possible question ONLY if I freeze up. Once the conversation is happening I'm fine, I will be fine, and as long as I don't freak out I should be fine, but I'm only afraid that I'll freeze up and act all weird (which has happened before).

And the thing is, she is superior. She isn't like the normal girls that you probably encounter. She isn't the whole "spend tons on makeup trying to get guys type," she's higher then that. Her intellect and niceness (she's the only person I know who's nicer then me, and I'm **** nice, except on forums :p ) is what really pushes her ahead of the billions of other girls that I could get.

Now I realize that I will have chances in college and in my adult life, and plenty of chances with plenty of other women, but why not try now?

(btw why did you AIM me last night without saying anything?)

Now, onto the answering machine.

I didn't hear the whole message, but from what I understood is that they don't pick up phones until the answering machine activates. I'd rather not talk to a machine, but I'm gonna have to. I'll try again at 3, and just state "Hey this is a message for Jenny, its Justin, if you can please call me back at #####, thanks bye." Fast and consise.

haven't tried jagermeister (is it expensive?)

usually runs around the same price as a shot of whiskey or wodka. Its a herbal based drink, it smells like (looks up word) liquorice? hehe.

Yeah... black liquorice. That's some nasty tasting stuff. I don't know how we finished that bottle, probably got easier after the first six shots, but still. Nastiness to the fullest. Usually twenty bucks for a half.

[Hyde]

nobody really talks about who they are anymore. its more of bs of what we recently did. for instance seafroggys and his lady friend(lover), or how tea recently came up. its mainly people talking about themselves being drunk but its pretty funny.

yeah... I figured I was far too late for this. ANyhoo... I hate tea. Unless it's Green Tea at a Chinese restaurant (That's tolerable) or Brisk Iced Tea (Which isn't so bad.) I haven't been drunk in a while. I'm not a big Jack Daniels fan, so I don't drink more than 2 cups. (They mix it with coke or lemonade.) I'm a big vodka fan though. Absolut, Smirnoff, Finlandia (Because of Children of Bodom's Alexi Laiho), and UV.

[Carn]

girls? where?!

[Tim]

girls? where?!

none for you. haha

[Jezen]

Apparently you could get high from smoking Green Tea leaves. It doesn't work.

[SeasonOfTheMad]

You know what the problem is here..

You are thinking WAAAAAYYYY too much about it.

It's a girl. There are BILLIONS of them. They aren't superior.. they put on make up too look good and spends mad money getting fixed up just so MEN will find them attractive.

Don't put her on a petistal. It's a privlage for her to talk to you, not the other way around.

Girls get guys pining after them ALL the time. You are just another regular guy trying to get there attention by being the submissive one.

You want to grab her attention. Be a man and step up the plate, be calm, collected and to the point.

She even gets a wiff that you've been spending this much time thinking bout just talking to her.. you're toast. Nothing better to do then sit around thinking about a girl ya don't know.

So true, I wish I had known this in high school- I coulda gotten so much *** if it weren't for my immaturity and foolishness, and general anxiety to get ***.

Girls can smell desperation like you smeared **** all over yourself, and its the most powerful and irreparable turn-off to them.

Simple **** to emote confidence and portray yourself as an alpha-male (which girls are attracted to first and foremost) is what will get you girls: hold eye contact with them until they look away (dont have to do this everytime but its important at first,) dont be too eager to please, walk slowly and confidently and project your voice clearly so as to not look shy, and TEASE them in a way that they will laugh, dont be an ***, but if you can bust a girls balls, man youve got them where you want em. Back to what Josiah said, dont think too much about one girl= go talk to as many girls about whatever you can think of whenever you have a chance, and you wont give a rats *** about one stupid girl, and theyll know it and itll help you a lot more than if you sit at home thinking about how much you like (translation: want to bang) any one girl in particular. Itll help your game out a lot.

MY CAR
IS A PIECE
OF ****!!!!
lol

Ok so I went to pay the insurance on it ($60, not bad at all), and when I'm ready to leave there, the ****er won't start.
It doesn't go click click click click, or wahahahhahh or ennnahehnnnehnn, it just goes...... ... ...... .. . ... no sound at all get it

So I call my dad and he comes out there and gives it a jump, just for good measure I fill it with some water and antifreeze and oil (all were kinda low), and it works again now.

Here's the problems with it:
> Drivers side window half works. The UP button works. The previous owners ghetto rigged an extension cord into that, and when it's in, up is up. When you unplug it and flip it, up is down.
> Passenger door SOMETIMES opens from the inside, hardly ever though.
> Some of the fuses were too high (replaced those today)
> Air conditioner doesn't work
> And now, my CDplayer won't eject lol (goin to best buy to fix that though)

[SeasonOfTheMad]

also, since this is basically the community thread ill introduce myself- my names john wood, im from maryland right near dc, im 20. Been playing for 2 1/2 years, Im gonna major in music and education in college. I first started taking lessons last spring, where i took jazz percussion at montgomery college, a community college in montgomery county MD that i go to, and man it helped me so much. Since i first started focusing on technique, everything else fell into place and became so much easier.

My drumming style is funky/hard rock/jazzy, Im not good in terms of real good drummers, but I can make good beats and cool fills and people like jamming with me. I dont like metal drumming (usually, its too uptempo and doesnt change enough) or punk drumming (same deal,) My favorite drummers Bonham, favorite genre is classic rock, and generally im just awesome. What about you all?

[Jezen]

A trolley would seem more fashionable, and less annoying, than your car. Sorry Powerstamp :upset:

[SeasonOfTheMad]

what kind of car you got? im driving a '92 oldzmobile cutlass sierra a.k.a. my 06 year old grandma's old car, and it sucks ***. The spedometer doesnt work, but besides that it runs so im happy.

[Jezen]

Im drivin my feet. Either that or some chatty hoe.

[SeasonOfTheMad]

what are your all's drumming philosophies?

[Half Life]

^Haha :lol:

[metallifan78]

season whats with the feed my eyes? my philosophy is just lay down the fat beats.

[Jezen]

what are your all's drumming philosophies?

Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day once said "Attack your instruments, don't let them attack you.."

Thats the main reason I think hes a complete prat.


For me, I try and take a sort of zen approach to my kit. It is part of me, I am part of it. It is like a martial art. Everything has to be performed with utmost precision.
