Studio Update: Part 2 ***PICS***

[Parradiddle Pete]

Hey guys, ok, so the builders are gone now. They finished some stuff off today (fitting doors etc) and have left us. The electrician (fantastic guy) came in and stqarted to get us some power to the studio from the house. Me, Chris and my dad started to put up thermal insulation and some of the plasterboard, so I've taken some pics of the progress:

What's left to go on the walls.

My handywork
Tomorrow, I have some mates coming over to paint the building outside, while dad and chris finish off the inside (plasterboard and insulation)

The inside isnt much to look at at the moment, hence the lack of pics of it. The 3 rooms will be divided by 2 Sets of patio doors, which is gonna be cool.

Comment,

Pete

Looks awsome man have fun with doing that.

What colour are you painting it?

[Parradiddle Pete]

White, to match all the other buildings

[Brokensticks]

Looks great man, I can't wait to see the final product. If you don't mind me asking how much is this running you?

[Leprechauns1021]

Wow that looks great. How long have you been building this?

[Chippy569]

what you stickin' in it, pete?

[Parradiddle Pete]

I dont know, but it all came about from me and my brother saying basically: 'Hey dad, now we have the field empty, how do you feel about making a studio for lets say £20K?'

'I love the idea, I'll think about it'

A couple months later...Voila

EDIT: That was to BS (Jezen?)

Been building it for 4 Weeks and a day (me and my dad aint done it BTW)

........... burn in hell.

[Berk]

Gawd damn. But some spurrs on dat bitch.

[Chippy569]

i don't like the riser at all....

[Superman]

Man, Rich people, so jealous.

[Parradiddle Pete]

i don't like the riser at all....
No, the riser was just to test a theory. The idea now is to make a better one with Oak as the material.

And as for that Burn in hell comment Chippy...:evil: I'll see you there :naughty:

[Chippy569]

i'll save 'ya room on the elevator :)

[Parradiddle Pete]

Nice one man. Your kit is looking great ATM, and you're having a rehersal space built arent you? and you go on at me for being so lucky?

[Chippy569]

yeah. i want my daddy to build me a studio. detached from my house so i can be loud as ****. and then pay $50k for gear.


but no, all my **** comes out of pocket.

[Parradiddle Pete]

Yea, ok then. I think that's more satisfying probably. I just think it's going to be amazing when everything drops into place, the kit built, the studio done, the rack for the kit, new cymbals, gonna be awesome if i ever get round to the cymbal part.

[Chippy569]

that's the part i'm stuck at now.... cymbals!

[Parradiddle Pete]

Yea, for me i'm thinking: 13" AAX Fusion Hats, 20" AAX Stage Ride or 21" HHX Evolution Ride, Couple Vault or A Custom Crashes and another nice china, plus 3 more splashes, by my calculations, I should be done upgrading on the 31st september.

[ant_182]

Looking really good dude! Can't wait to see final product. What are the room sizes?

[Parradiddle Pete]

I think they're all about 3Mx5M, not too sure though, but they will be plenty big enough. The other door, BTW, leads to a garden store (for storing gardens;))

So, a Sabian Whore then???

I like all the little bell type things aswell, got myself a stagg black metal bell only a week ago :)

[Chippy569]

3m is 10', so 5m must be around 17'?

so that's 3 rooms the size of my incoming practice room. except bigger, because mine are 7'x10'

[Parradiddle Pete]

Lolzers. The drum room will hopefully be plenty big enough for me to get my band into along with my drums.

[Matthew Hunter]

Cool, nice room, will look good when finished

[Matthew Hunter]

(double post)

[Superman]

Dude, Ignore that guy, its someone I know, bein a d***, feel free to bann him.

[Matthew Hunter]

Sorry, Ive edit them now

[Superman]

Bann that guy.

[Vannaroth]

aww superman you never told us you had a boyfriend ;)

anyway pete, now thanks to the map thread i know where you live, and i shall come to your studio and hijack it.

[Superman]

LoL, I dont, My bassist bein an a**.

[Superman]

How do you delete your account? that guy who just posted wants to get rid of his.

Sorry about him, he is the bassist in my band, I was trying to get him to sign up, so he went and signed up under a name that isn't even his and started being stupid, he now regrets it and wants to get rid of the account.

[Zildjian]

........... burn in hell.

Thats exactly what i was thinking.

Your dad looks cool as hell to...

[othankheavenfor311]

i could only dream....

[Jezen]

EDIT: That was to BS (Jezen?)

No Pete you silly.

Brokensticks asked me if he could use my email address as his MX name. AS for me:

broken_drumsticks@hotmail.com = Jezen Thomas = British Boy.

[Josiah]

That kickdrum is sick man...

[Jezen]

Jo do you like the riser? I like it personally..

[fishbulb]

that's the part i'm stuck at now.... cymbals!

You can never have too many cymbals. You can keep switching them out depending on the musical situation.

[Parradiddle Pete]

I love the riser myself, its cool

[EdBanger]

I love you Parradiddle Pete. Everything looks shweeet.

[leftydrummer]

HA I envy you Lucky bastard...haha..*note to self * "nuke it when i become preisdent"..lol

Just kidding in all joking aside, congratulations man i wish you well with it, cant wait to see how it comes out

[Vater5B]

HA I envy you Lucky bastard...haha..*note to self * "nuke it when i become preisdent".

I think you are forgetting the wonderful power of Eminent Domain. The users of MX* need that studio and everything in it.
