Seriously, this is messed up.

[slickrick1688]

Seriously, this kid is spoiled, he got an 11 piece starclassic for his first kit, and then he went on saying how he isnt spoiled. Then he says that his dad also got him a 7 piece starclassic exotics, wtf mate?

Hey if i was that kid id get as much as i could too.

[slickrick1688]

Well, who wouldnt, but im just saying that thats pretty rediculous and excessive. He even goes as far as to claim hes not spoiled and that he works for it or something to that nature.

[nonsense!]

I want to punch that kid in the face. Till he screams.

[SkaRabbit]

Very spoilt

[Byron]

maybe his dad works a lot and doesn't have a lot of time to spend with his kid so he gives him gifts instead, or maybe his dad just makes a lot of money so getting expensive stuff is just a way of life for him, 1,000$ isn't a lot to some people in the US, people in my town get new cars or up to 20,000$ for 16th birthdays so maybe it isn't spoiled but a way of life

btw I didn't even find the kid's post, I just saw a lot of nice kits on that site

[steeldrummer11]

Yah, I didnt actually see the post either, but i know kids like that that get that much gear and on top of it have no passion for drumming.

[mamcdonald]

Being spoiled isn't the worst of his problems...he's the ugliest child on the planet.

[slickrick1688]

His original post is the last one on the first page. And he claimed his parents give them all that stuff because they didnt grow up with a lot of money or something. Well you know what, neither did my parents, but they arent buying me thousands of dollars worth of gear. His brothers also have a shitload of expensive guitar and bass stuff, so...:confused:

[SkaRabbit]

All those boxes made me feel ill

[FL3P]

Those kids are spoiled and of course they dont have to work hard for any of that. That is overkill and they will never appreciate anything living like that.

Exactly, which is what makes me glad that i paid for all my drum stuff, because i can actually appreciate it and care about what happens to it.

[crazyguy832]

God damn...

I want a Starclassic...

What's embarassing is that his parents kick him off his kit and onto his electronic one when he plays offbeat...

I see in the plethora of boxes an "amp stand".

What kind of noob guitarist uses a stand for his amp?

A crappy one.

I know no guitarist who uses an amp stand.

The most "standish" stand I've seen was another amp.

A lot of recording artists use Amp stands for a more trebly sound. it also helps with stage monitoring, incidentally...

I think its pretty clear that this kid is making it up. Think about it. He gets this drumset from his parents or whatever and posts a pic, but then goes on to say he gets another more expensive drumset but cant post pics because *HIS 10 YEAR OLD BROTHER IS SCARED OF BEING MADE FUN OF*

Were any of you like that at 10?...When i was 10 i showed off like no tomorrow...It's a joke...

The gear probly belongs to their parents.

I mean...people eat up anything...I went on a different forum and told everyone my parents were buying me a 10 piece DW for $15,000 and they bought it...I then proceeded to tell them that my parents were going to sell one of their cars and take out a second mortgage on the house to fund it...They bought it.

Seriously, you feed people anything and they'll take it.

[Futuro]

Bro I think that kid is part of the family man. Might not want to piss him off. He will get papa to cut you up and sell you to the fish market.

[Panopticon]

haha no worried...i'm italian...my uncle honestly looks like he's in the mafia...i'll try and dig up a pic;)

[Double Bass Jim]

Blame the parents for being dumb enough to spend that kinda money... Unless they are totaly rich then it's just dead money.

you got fed too eh jim?

[ian1988]

My dad retired when he was 45 ish which means that he is loaded.....and he came from a very poor family.

He has always tought me to appreciate everything that i have been given. They hardly every spoil me. Everything related to drums I have purchased by myself. aside from my double pedal which is my bitchday gift.

So...YES HE IS A ****ING SPOILT BRAT!!!! AND HIS PARENTS SHOULD BE SHOT IN THE HEAD

[Double Bass Jim]

you got fed too eh jim?
Well theres a big difference between being supported as a kid and being spolied 100% of the time. Kids who get spoiled early on and through there lives have ZERO concept of money and what it means to have cash.

Any gift, anything I ever got from my parents or anyone I never take for granted even the smallest things. I'm lucky to be given anything anyway I don't and never expected to be spolied. Even rich kids should be taught some concept of earning and the value of money.

[LoneStarDrummer]

^agreed.

i had to learn the value of the dollar at a young age and i thank my parents for it now that i'm older and wise enough to realize it's importance.

[dbl_bass_drmr_Jirvy]

Hell I had to work hard to actually get my kit... I never had any assistance in buying my drums... I saved up like crazy... only to buy an old Pearl Forum Kit... which has gone through alot of hardware changes now... currently going for DW Drums... which is hard to find here on Guam.... ahh... I just want to go to that kids house and give him a beginner's snare, a begginer's book, take all his drumsets, then give it to a really deserving kid who is determined to excel in drumming.

no thats not what i meant, though i completely agree...

What i meant was, you got fed the story too? You believed it? Personally i think it's a load of crap. Just a bunch of kids trying to impress people with stuff, everybody did it sometime.

Every single piece of gear i own, i payed for completely. When i got my first and current kit, my dad payed half and i payed half, i ended up paying him back half just for the hell of it. I didn't need to. I chose too. Hell, i even payed him for the stain i used to refinish it.

Everytime i go buy gear, i go myself. I take the city bus, or walk, or ride my bike. I don't bug my parents with that stuff unless its something too big to carry home (ie. my janus pedal today) and because of that I am very greatful for all my gear because it reminds me of walking through the bitter cold, boom stand in one hand, ride in the other.

That's how serious i am about my drum gear.

Now if I'm wrong and this isn't a joke, i think that's completely pathetic and all i can ever do is feel sorry for the kid. Cause we all know that that kit will end up either trashed, sold, or destroyed somehow.

I know a kid from school. Used to be good friends with him. He got ANYTHING his parents asked for. He asked his parents for a fender strat. They bought it for him literally the next day. In his basement, at one point he had a guitar, piano, bass, drumset, and saxophone. All top line stuff. They weren't touched more than 5 times. He sold them all and kept the money. If anything i would give it back to my parents.

The same kid got a 5 thousand dollar bike from his parents because he passed grade 8.

Its disgusting...

Jesus Jim, you're awfully pessimistic.

You know, not everyone is bad. It's just a select few that give the rest a bad name.

This brings to mind (if anyone has heard about it) the comics that were published in the newspaper in denmark (i think) depicting Mohammed (Muslim God) in vain or something like that...they drew him as a suicide bomber. Now the Muslim's are all up in arms and starting a riot (more than 11 people killed) because of this. They think it depicts all muslims as terrorists. Like honestly, If anyone were to read that comic, and in seeing that, think that all muslims are terrorists, they need to get their heads checked.

[Double Bass Jim]

Jesus Jim, you're awfully pessimistic.

.
You have to open your eyes man, once you really start to watch people and the way things work you'd become the same way. You can't go along fooling yourself. People try to think of ways to make someone look good subconsiously too, thats a real common thing I see especially with younger people. This leads to goofy relationships, dumb behaviour, people lying to each other, compromising things you don't wanna compromise ect ect...

Sorry but once you observe from a neutral perspective I.E Not being biased toward anything you'll see it man. It may seem like the behaviour of a bitter hateful old man but I can't help it. I can't look through a mask and pretend. Thats the way I see it 100% realistic views.

[Panopticon]

Oh i totally respect that, and agree. To an extent.

I think a lot of people on here exaggerate a great amount. I do it myself on occasion. But flat-out lying like this kid that got an 11 piece starclassic doesn't seem as common. Sure, 95% of the people on this bored could be faking it all, but hey, what are we losing?

By your logic, we can basically only trust the people who post videos and pictures of themselves, and their kits.

There has to be a certain amount of trust. What i'm taking from you, is that you have absolutely no trust in anyone unless there is cold hard evidence that everything is the way they say.

Just a question, not meant to spark an arguement, but do you believe in God?

It just seems that, with this logic you're showing me, that wouldn't be possible, so i'm curious.

[Double Bass Jim]

Na i'm not a religious man at all. Im not the kinda guy to go outta my way and bash someone for being relgious of course thats retarded. But no I'm not.

Lemme guess your in college taking physc right? :lol: Gotta be...

[Panopticon]

No. Highschool. Grade 11.

[Double Bass Jim]

Ahh good!

Nothin I hate worse then some wanna be college sigman freud acting like a human profiler. You can't be taught that kinda thing from a book or even a person. You have to see and experience and watch these things yourself to learn properly.

[Motleyguy]

Yeah, I'm with Jim on this one. Just sort of observing the way people I know treat each other, and dealing with their drama, I am losing faith in the human race.

[Panopticon]

Yeah, this is really just how i was raised. I wouldn't be able to stand seeing the world in such a negative way as you do. (no offence of course) It seems like it would isolate you a lot because you would always be questioning peoples motives and such, would it not?

[Double Bass Jim]

For sure, thats just being honest with yourself though. Theres no way id try and trick myself. Thats not proper living and thats not something i'm ever going to do.

[Motleyguy]

Eh, if this is directed at me...I am quite social, but I also have a hard time trusting people. Seen to many people get stabbed in the back, and have been stabbed in the back. And relationships, forget about it, not at this point anyways...I was cheated on once, and I haven't had a relationship since.

[Double Bass Jim]

Ahh that sucks man, that kinda stuff will destroy you.

[Motleyguy]

It did...I mean sure, I was 15, she was 17. But I honestly can say I was in love. And even if it was a high school relationship, the intent and the act is still the same as if it were a marriage, the consequences are just different. It doesn't help that I got mono from her at the same time, so after we broke up, I spent a month and a half on my back...mono is the devil's disease.

[Double Bass Jim]

Ahh theres always better days ahead man.

Thats rough stuff though

[styler]

do you guys know where the word spoilt comes from?

a word the jealous poor people call the slightly better off.

your only making it worse, idiots.

calling someone spoilt doesnt change the fact that someone in that family earned the money, and decided to spend it on there kid. does that make them bad people?or mean you should tease them for it? i dont honestly think so.

do know that spoilt isn't a word. Rather, I believe it is the word "spoiled", that you speak of. And i believe it refers to something, such as meat, or soup, that has gone bad, or become rotten. And the reason people use it in context with people, is because kids who are "spoiled" generally have a very skewed view of reality, and believe they arebetter than others. So, by their parents treating them the way they do, they become "spoiled" or go bad. Don't mean to be a dick, just wanted to make it known that it isn't just "jealous poor people" who use the term, because it isn't...it's regular people who have to earn their money to pay for their possessions.

true dat. My parents have not had a single thing to do with absolutely any of my drum gear. Sure they know what's going on, but they don't drive me, pay for me, or anything...The only time they payed for me is for my Janus pedal today, but thats only cuz my mom was at work and i didnt have the cash (i give her all my money to hold on to)...so really it was just my money...So i just went to the music store, called her up, she told the salesman her mastercard number and all done.

[styler]

Cool. I took out a loan from my grandpa for my kit. Which I paid back with my allowances for the next 8 months. My parents are fairly involved with my drumming, well my mom at least, in the sense that she drives me to jams and shows, and usually let's me jam at home aswell.

its not really a matter of a parent spoiling the kid, its the parent making more money than other adults, if you had the money to buy everything your child or wife wanted. would you do it?

[Motleyguy]

No, because my son or daughter (if I ever have one) will need to learn the concept of reality, and that money is something that needs to be earned. There is no free ride in life, so why give your child one for the first 18 years of their life, it just makes it harder for them to adjust to the real world.

I can't even play when he's home. My mom tolerates it, though everytime I get a bad mark on something in school, drumming is what takes the blame. It's quite illogical.

[Panopticon]

yeah...

when you wanna buy new gear and you tell your parents, do you get really frustrated because they don't understand and you just can't find the right words to describe it?...happens to me all the time.

so your gonna give him food and shelter and just shove him outside to hangout with his friends. a spoiled kid is better in that way, in which they have something to keep themselves away from stupid stuff like drugs, alchohol, unsafe sex, bad habits. a good parent would raise there child away from both ends, and make a happy medium, supply them with things that keep them entertained and happy. while also teaching them morales and how to become a strong man or woman.

nope, they just refuse to pay for any of it. My mom bought me a couple of pairs of sticks the other day, because we made an agreement, that because I need to focus on school (grade 12), she didn't want me to get a job. So, they would pay for small things like drumsticks. When it comes to stuff like cymbals though, and drums themselves, I have had to pay for it all myself.

as much as everyone denies it money does equal happiness, do you think homeless people are happy? do you think rich people are happy? just cause your reach doesnt mean you live a demoralised or seperated life.

No, I would not do that. I would give them oppurtunities, but I would not spoil them. For example, I would lend them the money, like actually sit down, and draw up a payment plan with the kid or cosign on payments for a set of drums or a guitar for them, but I wouldn't straight up buy them. I guess you could say I wouldn't walk a mile for them, but I would walk it with them. That teaches them the values of well, value, and respecting their money, not wasting it. You might also notice, that alot of the "spoiled" kids get into drugs and alcohol just as much as others, they just have a way to constantly fund their habits, and that is one way to become an addict. Those kids with endless funding, also usually have parents who ask few questions on what the money will beused for. So those kids can easily get drugs like cocaine and heroin, and can afford to get them regularily. Alot of heroin addicts are those on the "upper level", who live in what we call "high society". They usually get pressured into by others, and in an attempt to save face, they make the mistake of trying the drug. Soon, they're shooting up, and mommy and daddy are paying for their drug habit.

[Motleyguy]

as much as everyone denies it money does equal happiness, do you think homeless people are happy? do you think rich people are happy? just cause your reach doesnt mean you live a demoralised or seperated life.

No, it doesn't mean you live a seperate life, but it definetely means that your sense of reality is different. When I pay for something myself, I know I've earned it, and I enjoy it. I don't even like getting gifts from people, I feel guilty. I don't know why, but I do. It's the way I was raised, my dad puts alot of value on earning things yourself, paying for things yourself, and paying back any debts you have, as soon as possible. I will admit, I live a fairly good life, some people even call me spoiled at some times, because my parents give me money to do things I enjoy, like go to the movies or to buy alcohol so I can have a few beers with my friends. What these people don't see though, is that I help out around the house to earn that money. Powerwashing the driveway, vacuuming the house, etc. On my free time. That and the fact that instead of buying more furniture, or a big TV or spending his extra money on anything. He put that money towards paying off the mortgage on our house, and paying off any debts he owed. That way, he's better off now, and I believe that's the way to go. Pay your debts and respect your money. Someone who is spoiled doesn't have respect for money.

I like how he has no idea how to hold a guitar.

Judging from his pitful display there, I'd say his guitar has been through all sorts of abuse. Poor Gibson. I hope he grows up to be a big spender, gets poor and learns his lesson - getting everything for free is a stupid idea, however fun it might be.

When I was his age I had a nylon guitar we borrowed from a family friend. Spoilt bastard.

:thumb: My thoughts exactly, I'm just too illerate(sp?) to say it like that:p

[Dookiedude3005]

wow, i just threw up in my mouth. I can't believe that kid has that kid and his siblings have that equipment. Thats it, his parents are drug dealers....end of story. only solution. God life sucks when this kind of stuff happens, he probably can't even play linear or double strokes.



argh i'm so ****ing jealous, i hate my life. I bet you we'll find him or his family on "My Super Sweet 16" and his dad will rent out an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean and will have all the kids 250 friends flown in on F-16 jets..........AAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I spent every penny i had on my kit in 8th grade. My ma and pa really enjoy listening to me, even 5 years later. I have band practice twice a week and are very supportive.....but to get back on track the only thing they got me (not counting gifts) was a pair of sticks when i was strapped for cash.

Im glad they think for themselves, and Im sooo glad how thats sucessfully used as a counter argument towards drugs.... think for yourself. If you thought for yourself you wouldnt take the goverments word on every ****ing thing, and youd be intelligent enough to examine the risks and consequeses.

But the goverment has done a VERY good job.

This brings to mind (if anyone has heard about it) the comics that were published in the newspaper in denmark (i think) depicting Mohammed (Muslim God) in vain or something like that...they drew him as a suicide bomber. Now the Muslim's are all up in arms and starting a riot (more than 11 people killed) because of this. They think it depicts all muslims as terrorists. Like honestly, If anyone were to read that comic, and in seeing that, think that all muslims are terrorists, they need to get their heads checked.


Funny though, those same comics were publsihed in another newspaper in Egypt and no one rioted... makes you wonder, eh?

and that kid... I really do feel sorry for.. wait, is that a him?! I swore he was a girl... oh well. Anyways, I realy do feel sorry for shim because in the future shim is going to know nothing about how to save up money and be so much in debt.

the government steps in when your choices have the potential to destroy another person's life.

like drunk driving.
Sure, you can choose to drink and drive all you want. Crash in to trees, it's your call. BUT you're not the only driver on the road. because you pose a greater-than-you-should threat to other motorists, your action has now been deemed illegal.

And even then, you can still choose to drink and drive. But now you have to accept the consequences if you get cought.


Loyton, unless you're ONLY getting stoned when you're locked in your room by yourself with bare, white-washed walls, i hope you get cought.

I understand i did word it wrong. What i should have said was that ADDICTS would have no time to shoot, smoke, drink most of the drugs they do.

This thread is stupid and slickrick1688 I think you need to check yourself ......... who cares if this kid has a better drumset than you. Sounds like your mad at the world and your parents just because they didn't buy you a drumset like that kids. This is too funny and it shows your ignorance and personality. :angry:

[sweet_nothings]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't slickrick in the other forum?

That kid won't appreciate anything in his life... I don't know which makes me sadder: That or him acctually having that gear.

Raise your hand if you paid for your stuff yourself (Or mostly yourself) *raises hand* Maan I hate that kid right now.

Im sorry, but i dont need to check myself. I am in no way jealous or ignorant. Im glad that i dont have a 2000+ pro kit, because you wanna know why? Im not pro and dont need something like that right now and my parents dont spoil me. They instead teach me to go out and get a job and save up myself to buy things so i dont go on in life depending on them so much. So i think if anyone needs to check themself, it's you my nooblet friend.

[Double Bass Jim]

Check yourself before you wreck yourself
:lol:

[Kainen]

that makes me sick. what could that kid possibly do to earn that? other than be a lazy little chunkster.

You know what .......... why don't you leave the kid alone at that forum, he didn't do anything to deserve that kind of treatment. He was only posting to the topic and all you do is cry about it. DUDE You spend too much time on the computer and I bet that little kid is practicing his *** off as you sit there being all mad at the world. Take a rest ....pickup those sticks and pound away because right now the only thing your pounding is your head. :angry:

[Talos]

:lol: Thats quite good one, I agree though. My drum teacher said its not worth me getting a Pro kit because im still learning and nowhere near pro level ( Knocked my confidence :( :lol: )

EDIT - Sup Torino the little fat spoilt kid :lol:

[Drummer Freak 911]

i appreciate my gear becuz it was a gift..
even tho it is a crappy set i still like it :thumb:

Having money means you should be able to join a nice gym too.. that kid is going to die by age 30 if he doesn't.

Hahahahaha......:rolleyes:. Yeah, trust me, i left that kid alone. And dont go telling me that i need to go practice. Have you heard me? No, so dont tell me to go practice. And once again, for idk, the 3rd or 4th time, im not mad or jealous at this kid. I just dont like the fact that he got a pro level kit for his first kit and cant even play. I just dont like spoiled people.

[Berk]

I dont see 11 peices.

Did you notice the aheads? :lol:

[styler]

yes, we did, its been said, and while were on the topic of fat drummers, kirk covingtons probably only got like a year left the way you guys are talking. lol

[Berk]

Im over weight?

[styler]

maybe?pic?

[AtomShip]

It's not that he has a prolevel kit, it's that he has a HUGE prolevel kit.

maybe the kid himself counts as one bass drum?

[Berk]

Ahaha, hit him with a mallet and he "Thumps".

[drummer_mp3]

Sad, but true

Good song. But that kid probably can't play it. He's fat and ugly and spoiled. I personnaly wish him the best of luck in aquiring a heart attack.

[styler]

ive officially lost all hope for these forums, lol.

[keaton_86]

Meh, if you read what he says, it sounds like he is giving drumming a decent shot, which is good. But i'll go out on a limb and say he will be amazingly bad because he is learning with too much equiptment. What kind of 10 year old needs mini-tymphs?

On a different note, it is set up very well for a 10 year old. when i was 10 my set up was shockingly bad... Makes you think the kit might not be his?

Gawd......... you guys still dreaming about this kids drum set, wishing it was yours? I think it is his set because the way the cymbols and toms are postion to his size. You guys should read his post because he has not flamed anyone and all he's done was contribute to that post. I wish my parents had the money to buy that stuff for me, kinda looks like their doing it for the kids or they just have a bunch of money to blow. Anyways it kinda of stupid to think negative about this kid. I really think it's pretty kewl to see someone young get into music but really the problem is all about economics. You either have it or you don't .........

I'm gonna side with torino here. It's people like the ones bashing the kid (without knowing him) who make this world a really, really, annoying place to live sometimes.

There's absolutely no good will at all. Maybe if the kid acted like a little punk, he'd deserve it. Instead he gets bashed because his parent's support his interests and are willing to put money into helping him out. If anything maybe you should question his parents' judgement in buying him such a nice kit.

Hell, I'm starting to question the way half of you have been raised especially after the way that noob got bashed for asking a question regarding his snare head.

When I become a dad it's going to be hard to beat my kids (even though i was given a good *** whippin every once in a while when i was a kid... brown parents I tell ya), but if this forum's any indication of the way the next generation's being raised, I think I'll keep my options open.

[sweet_nothings]

It's not the kid we hate, and hell we're not bashing HIM. We're against the fact that his parents chose to give him everything like that. But then again that's just it, they chose to do it.

Don't go around saying **** about how we were raised. Our comments on doing hardwork for what you want gives every indication of the opposite of what you're saying.

I don't know about the former. Everyone seems to just be mocking the kid. Sure the fat jokes are funny, and I got a good laugh out of em, but it just got really retarded after a while.

And as for my statement about the way people have been raised, I'm talking more in the sense of the sheer flamage. Especially the way torino got bashed. Sure you've all been raised to be independant etc, and that's great, but there are other aspects involved. I never said you were raised badly, I said I was starting to question... implying I was starting to doubt... and the reasons I'm starting to doubt is just because of the way people have been acting lately.

But that brings up an interesting question.... maybe I've forgotten what it was like to be a teen. Maybe I've succumbed to that veil of superiority that all adults seem to suffer from... that holier than thou attitude.

That or we've just got alot of pricks on the forum.

Hopefully i'll be proven wrong. I've talked to a bunch of the 15-17 year olds on here on msn, and they truly seem like good kids, and are definitely good people. I truly hope that the majority of the youth these days are like.

Btw, I'm not excluding the older folk who also flame. If anything it's worse for us to do that.

Anyways, sorry if I offended you by rasinig questions on the way in which you were raised. My post was more of a general statement regarding the state of the forums as I've said above.

I paid for my kit, and all the subsequent pieces. It's a POS, but I'm happy with it.

Also, think of it this way... if the kid looses interest, we all have a cheaper used kit to bid on :naughty:.. in the end... we win :D

[drummer_mp3]

Torino = Lil g@tti


Proof

Their location is both east coast

They both spell cymbals wrong (cymbols anyone)

They both say kewl

Glad you see it too.

[\m/-CHeV-\m/]

this clearly ISN'T made up.. man they give him too big drumkits, and obviously too much to eat, damn.. And why wouldn't i admit I'm jaelous? I FU(KING AM JAELOUS OF THAT FAT LITTLE PILE OF SH1T!!.. but his dad is dumb.. man, straclassics are geat kits, but if you have the money and you want to buy a great kit, buy a DW collector's..


oh no wait, this is just an entry level kit right?? he'll upgrade to a collector's when 13.. :/..

[drummer_mp3]

I feel with you man^^^

I hate the fact that he gets everything for nothing. I for one had to work my godamn *** off to get my first and only drumset. Then my parents don't approve of me upgrading my ****. ****!

[Berk]

^^I know what your talking about.
My parents say Im good with what I have, and that is SO! not true.

[slickrick1688]

Yeah, my parents get mad when i go drop a bunch of cash on cymbals and stuff. My dad then tells me to not go out and buy another drum thing, but about a month or 2 later i usually do anyways.

[AtomShip]

Well your parents are right, they want you to learn to save your money and not just spend it on impulse. You dont need a professional kit to be great at drums, you just need the rhythm.

Lifes not fair, get over it, life is what you make it.

Well, the funny thing is, is that they just dont want me to buy drum stuff. They would rather me go out and spend it on stupid crap like movies and cds and other stuff like that.

So saving every last bit of money you have to buy that one thing you need/want isnt concidered saving?
