Kick-***

I got a free drum throne today:smoke:

Say, do you happen to know how to make a bass drum less boomy? I hear you can cut a hole in the front head and stuff things in there, but I don't know any details about how to go about doing it.

[Nickle Pickle]

Take off the a head, and put pillows in it.

Sorry :( I'd get on YIM but for some odd reason it's not working on my computer :( So what's new?

[Thonk]

*whistles*

I always wondered why people had pillows in there.:lol:

[fatbandit]

Just take the front skin off with your drum key and stuff a duvet or some pillows or something in it.

:smash:

[Linkinbassist]

evening first-page...

[jcs497]

So throughout the day my throat has been a bitch, and I've tried everything....asperin, motrin, tylenol....nothing helps even a little.

Now my throat feels quite pleasant. You know why? ****ing peppermint tea. Goddammit I wish I knew it were that easy in the first place...

cool...now you're a real drummer...:p

hmmm...yeah...you can cut a hole in the front to let some of the air out so there isnt much compression...try about making it about 6 inches in diameter...

but first...trying putting something in it...what we use alot are pillows and those egg carton type cushining that people use to sleep on...the good thing with that is you are able to wrap it all the way around unlike a pillow, where it just settles at the bottom...but try different amounts of it to see if that'll give you what you want...

how hard are you pounding it?

[rh15951]

Quit changing the colour schemes

[Down'd Angel]

Sorry :( I'd get on YIM but for some odd reason it's not working on my computer :( So what's new?

heh...its cool...

nothing much...new girlfriend...new bass...new car...new house...

thats about it...and you?

[jcs497]

Doesn't completely getting rid of the front head change the sound a lot though?

[Down'd Angel]

Okay, I don't know how to go about doing the egg carton thing, so I'll just stick a bunch of old towels in. That okay?

Can I keep the head on while I cut the hole (and what do I cut it with)?

haha...i guess you can use towels...but pillows would b better...but its not really egg cartons...it what people use on their bed to help with their back pain...you just wrap it around on the inside...

if you were to cut the hole...i would suggest taking it off so it'll be sturdier when you cut it...

and what to cut it out with...get a circular saw if you can or something to that effect...thats what i use...

Oh, THAT stuff.

Okay, well I'm much too lazy to take off the head AND go out to the garage to get a saw (I was planning on using scissors:p ).

i'd suggest placing something in there first before try playing doctor with the cosmetics...

if you do do it...be careful...because then you'll have to replace the whole head...

Use a plate and a stanley knife and do it slowly

[fatbandit]

I meant take the head off, put padding in, then put the bass drum head back on :/

[jcs497]

You all relax, I'll do it later properly when I'm not feeling lazy.

Thanks for the help.

[jcs497]

I voted 1 star...I hate everyone in the casuals, besides a select few people...

Oh well.

My strings of choice are Super Slinkys.

But I can't get them in 7 string sets. So I need to get 5 string Super Slinky sets, and then 30 and 25 gauge Rotosounds :/

Haven't seen you around here in quite a while, how was your Christmas?

I skipped the last three. People called me Nickle Pickle when I was little, and last year, my friends (mostly the girls) started calling me it again.

Psh, he didn't say who 'and the like' consists of ;)

:smash:

[Mr. Pickle]

[fatbandit]

Dean Markley do 7 string sets? Cools. Can't get them in England though, without huge import fees. So I go with what I do now :/

:smash:

[Mr. Pickle]

went car shopping today, going to get a blazer on wednesday

[Nickle Pickle]

I want new pickups for my Fender PJ. I'm thinking a Dimarzio Split-P and a Model J.

[Potatoe]

i know you're impressed!

[jcs497]

didn't you say that was messing you up?
No, I said it was the one thing that was helping me.

edit: yeash, I'm back

[jcs497]

Hey lews, if you're still here, name me some good hardcore bands.

[LewsTherin]

im gasing for a gt-7. :(

[fatbandit]

When you say hardcore, do you mean old school or new stuff?

:smash:

[LewsTherin]

Hey lews, if you're still here, name me some good hardcore bands.


uh....

i dont listen to too much hardcore?

gorilla biscuits and circle takes the square (not quite hxc, but close nuf) are the only ones i really listen to.

[jcs497]

When you say hardcore, do you mean old school or new stuff?

:smash:
Oh, I meant new school.

Or some sort of crossover stuff like Bane or Blood Brothers would be cool too. I'm content with hardcore punk for now.

[jcs497]

Oh. I somehow recall you having conversations about this stuff with gav...hmmmm....

yeah....dont think i can help you overly much. sorry.

i have, but it was mostly about emo, not hxc.

[jcs497]

Aye...that would be it. I get the 2 confused far too often.

[fatbandit]

Hmm, I would have said go for some Minor Threat or Agnostic Front. But I'm not sure that's what you're looking for. That's pretty early stuff.

:smash:

[LewsTherin]

is foxfire still on?


if so....what do you think of the gt-7? i kinda really want one now.

[fatbandit]

Well, to me, that shizzle is Hardcore. The new stuff is all chuff.

Sorry, can't hear you past the breakdown. Wait, that breakdown lastedthe whole song?

That band's set was basically a bunch of breakdowns then?

'Kay.

I only tolerate Minor Threat because of the whole sXe thing :p

:smash:

[fatbandit]

Lews, I've played Coffee's GT-7, and I prefer my GTBD-7. The string spacing is slightly wider at the nut I think. The tonal options are also better on the BD.

If you want a review, I've got one in the reviews section of the bass forum.

:smash:

[jcs497]

:smash:
Oh, you're a pussy too, then? :lol:

I like new hardcore, but I'm very selective, as I realize that a lot of bands are pure breakdown these days.

[fatbandit]

I'm edge, but not really a hardcore kid. I don't like hardcore that much. The message is great though.

I don't mind some metalcore, but its nearer to the new wave of American heavy metal that I'm liking. Trivium, that kind of thing. Its really more metal than metalcore IMO.

:smash:

[Wintermute]

Edge makes me laugh. It's almost always rebelling by obeying the law. This fad was clearly invented by a comedy genius. :D

i just read that :thumb:

i was looking at the gtbd-7 too, but i liked the gt better because:

-wenge>maple
-i dont like/want active electronics, so the 4 holes drilled in the bass would be more easily filled by passive electronics (2v2t) than the 6 or w/e on the BD bass.
-its cheaper (only a few hundred ontop of $1k+, but its enough)

[fatbandit]

Edge isn't a rebellion. That's the thing.

The people who try to rebel using it are the fashionXcore kids. Who don't deserve to be talked to.

I don't expect everyone to get along with my points of view though. I had the exact same attitude long before I came across edge. It just happens that it coincides with it and everything :)

Why do you need to be a member of a group to support something?

I'm completely sober and stuff, but I don't call myself edge. That's just stupid.

[fatbandit]

Well I'd look on the second hand market. Mine was £650 used. I was looking for a normal GT-7, but I found that, and there we go. The rest is history.

Up to you though, different strokes for different folks :)

/wishes he had $1200 right now.

[fatbandit]

TBH, I'm hardly part of a group. I don't know anyone else who is infac straight edge.

To be honest, its more of a throwaway term than it has ever been, and it is mostly used by me to explain what/who I am without having to just explain 'No, I don't drink, no I don't smoke' etc, and explaining why. Saves me hassle.

I do however like the ideology to it though. The idea behind it that it was showing that these punk people could have a voice and they were completely dry. Their words weren't those of the 'stereotypical yob', and they maybe carried some weight.

However, the words don't carry any weight to be honest, and people being people, there were still straight edge yobs. And they can be some of the most violent :/

Meh.

Take it how you will, I ain't gonna change.

:smash:

[Wintermute]

I have no problem with people not drinking, not doing drugs or not having sex. It's your life. I just can't help laughing at people who seem to take it as some kind of sacred trust. Or come to it, getting annoyed at those who get self-righteous about it.

[fatbandit]

Wow, I need to stop saying to be honest so much :upset:

a) fix'd :thumb:

b) i dont really like the really self-righteous sXe kids that try and cram it down everyone else's throat. that being said, i do describe myself as straight-edge, and AM straight edge (alot of the sxe kids around here still drink and smoke pot).

[Wintermute]

Ah?

*shrug*

I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, (largely because I can't stand to smoke the stuff) I drink largely in moderation - it's very rare I'll have more than two pints in a night - and frankly I'm not so hot on promiscuous/casual sex anyway.

[fatbandit]

Ooooh, no. I don't brag about it. I know one perosn who brags about it, though he isn't really edge. He sort of pretends :/

Whatever floats his boat though. You wouldn't look at me and think 'Edge'.

And people who force edge opinions and beliefs on people are as bad as evangelical Christians.

And they're bad.

So I understand what you're saying, and I respect your opinion as much as I hope you respect mine :)

Especially when she has her cream white Stratocaster and we're playing funk.

Yee-uh.

[katana_manatee]

Hmm I am pretty much a fun loving music student. ;)

I sometimes smoke weed but I have no interest in harder drugs, I am still baffled as to why cannabis is illegal and yet other more harmful things are legal. However I am speaking of in moderation. Smoking weed every so often like once every few weeks or so is going to cause very little damage in the long term. Smoking it every day of course seriously ups the chances of damage to yourself. But anyway, the arguements for legalising cannabis are already well known so I am not gonna get into it.

[Foxfire]

Whoa, this thread is on page 1 of 666.

Oh noes, teh numb0r of teh beast!

[fatbandit]

The X on the hand is THE symbol of straight edge.

Does it need explaining?

In the hardcore shows in the 80's in the DC area, they were putting on all age hardcore gigs. Anyone under the legal drinking age had their fist marked with a black X so they couldn't get served at the bar. The edge kiddies purposefully marked themselves up with the X as a statement, and it gre from there. This is why you'll see a lot of straight edge people with X tattoos, and is where the x's come from in all the straightXedge and hardXcore etc come from, even though most of them have no relation to edge except being hardcore (its mostly seen in all the emo kids' myspace profiles nowadays though ¬_¬).

TBH, I see straight edge as trying to respect your body and put as little harmful stuff in as possible, so I wouldn't think that tattoos and piercings would be a popular thing (you know, stabbing yourself up with inky needles? Making holes in your face?), but you know those crazy hardcore kids...

:smash:

So true, so true...

but you know those crazy hardcore kids...

:smash:
Yeah, they use no logic whatsoever...

[trumpeter]

See, technically I conform to the "edge" lifestyle, but I REFUSE to limit myself by applying such a label. I mean, honeslty, if I want to drink/smoke/have casual sex I am going to, and not think twice because of some label or image I need to uphold.

But Tater, Satin is no veneer, I don't know how it can be vintage and satin...
But I will just count your vote as vintage anyway. :)

The toneport will help you record, yes? Do you need to record particularly?

Well I would love to have some higher quality recordings....idk...I'm gonna think long and hard...heh....Well, I hope I am getting a job soon anyway...So I am leaning towaards the toneport.

[fatbandit]

Recording, for me at least, happens with my band in the studio we hire out to record us.

So I have no need for a toneport.

You may have different needs though.

:smash:

[The Brad]

Check my reply in Casual 19. :p

[katana_manatee]

The toneport, if you kept getting new basses all the time you'd never be able to get better recordings. Sure a new bass is cool but you should get what you feel you need the most.

[Chameleon]

Bob, Sputnik's only been around for like a year...


Eh..by this do you mean "Come on, it's only been around for a YEAR! Where've you been nigga?" or "Don't worry bout it, it's only been around for about a year...nigga"?

Either way.....don't call me nigga, whitey!

[fatbandit]

Also depends what bass you have now. If its a squier or something, I'd say definitely the bass.

If you already have something good, maybe its not such a big thing to get the bass?

:/

:lol:

[trumpeter]

Another thing is I write a lot of stuff for my band, so the toneport with its no-latency will be great for hear the guitar parts with the bass parts with a drum track...

Yeah, I am more than likely getting it.

[fatbandit]

Uhm... I'm sure latency isn't anything to do with the method of recording, but to do with... other stuff.

I know people who record direct in, with a mic, and with USB who don't get latency.

:smash:

[Chameleon]

P.S. What software do you use trumpeter? Good softare like Cubase or Sibelius should virtually eradicate any noticeable latency while multi-tracking. I take it the monitor is the problem?

[fatbandit]

Wait, wasn't Steve in London?

Is London Black Metal land?

:amaze:

:smash:

[fatbandit]

Actually, Cubase can be AWFUL for latency. You just have to get the settings right though in the program.

Cool Edit Pro has never had any latency problems for me...

:smash:

[Chameleon]

No, duface! He was off to Norway to his blood-land and possibly lay claim to the throne, though that's purely speculation.

[katana_manatee]

Chameleon: You bein cheeky pal? Are ye? Ya mad rocket man!

I'm good man, still in Norway. (how did you know I was 'ere? I Don't recall telling you I was going this Christmas...)

The course is great, I think I did pretty well in my exams, seems like 6 As and 2 Bs but it is the easy term and I never really worked at it, the next one is gonna be tricky and the third term uber tricky... Still, it's all good :)

Did you have a good christmas?

:smash:


Yeah, which translates as: For dumbasses who don't know what latency is, Cubase doesn't "do it all for you". But it's still powerful enough to get rid of it.

It's like using a program with keyboard shortcuts...if you don't learn how to use them, you're not going to notice any advantage but that doesn't mean the software isn't capable of being faster. It just means you're a lazy arsehole who should send me a lot of money.

That's super duper, but you better shape up before you shame your family! 2 B's is just NOT acceptable frankly.

Aye, I had a splendid Christmas! Mostly money, some clothes, bits and bobs, books, DVD's etc. We got rid of the piano before xmas, so i'm getting a digital piano for my room with student loan/xmas money and existing bank money! Gonna get much more into piano playing.
