The OFFICIAL Christmas List Thread

[White]

Hey, SO I decided To Carry on the tradition this year (I know someone out there in MX land is gonna kill me for beating them to the chase)

But yah, it just struck 12:00 here so that means it's December 1rst, and it's time for the OFFICIAL christmas list thread, I know we had another one not to long ago, but that was a fake lol.

So yah, I think you all understand the concept, you post want you want, or what you're getting and then on Xmas day we do a return to this thread and post what you got lol, see who got what they wanted :)

I myself would like

New Throne
Double Pedal (Gibraltar Intruder)
Drum Sticks


Thats really all i want, I am really low on Sticks so I'm hoping to pull some off for Xmas. (aalthough I am buying some this weekend haha)

Also, with the money I have just recieved I will be buying a New 12" head, sticks, And Then buying X mas presents lol.

SO post away, and Merry Christmas to You all.

[goalieman92]

[White]

pfftt loser lol, but yah, I'm about to head to bed, I got school tomorrow (name will be on announcements for pulling off a win in tonights game, they always give me props for that haha, and also I ahd the rink cheering for me haha, it was great.)

GOALIEMAN LOOK HERE!!!hehe, Hockey is what our school is based around, I will be getting praises tomorrow haha.

srry didn't want to uneven the post count

[goalieman92]

Luckey guy, most the people at my school don't even know that there is a sport called hockey, and those that do, don't care. :'(

[Mirror.Circuit]

18" A Medium Thin Crash
20" A Sweet Ride
New Stands

[FooBuddy1989]

8" and 10" DW piccolo toms, set of heads

[CHRSHARE]

A 5 piece Mapex Pro-M.
Sabian AAX Metal hats.

[LoneStarDrummer]

nothing. once again i'm asking for nothing, but this time i'm demanding i get nothing. the past five or six years when i say i don't need anything, my folks kindly give me stuff.

i just want them to wait until after summer when i'll have half the amount of money i need to buy the kit i want. they agreed to loan me the other half.

[Brokensticks]

I am hoping for just gift certificates to L&M. That way I can get me some heads. Not 100% sure what ones yet so thats why the gift certificate. If I have anything left over i'll probably buy a stick holder and some sticks, and maybe a wicked throne?

[Aaron]

Dixon Invader Series Straight Stand.
Nice set of tea-cups and matching saucers [4x].
To spend time with my family.

[saars]

-14" amb coated
-14" hazy snare side
-new batter and reso heads for bass (not sure what though)
-either piccolo toms (?) or a 10" SCA tom
-18" Wuhan riveted china (I'm going to use my money to buy it)

I highly doubt I'll get most of that stuff anyways (besides the china and maybe the 14" heads). Like aaron, what I would really want is just enough time to spend with family and friends. That's the most important gift you'll ever get.

[Ronald McRaygun]

-Ant-

[the_pure_drummer]

Im not sure yet, i think ill just get money off all relatives and family, and then add it all up and buy maybe new hats or a ride, probably hats though!

[~(lunch_box)~]

drum bags, Kaces Kcp-5 Crash Pad Drum Rug, drum heads-(Emad, clear G2 over clear G1 for toms, powercenter reverse dot over hazy 300 for snare), drumsticks, new metronome-(BOSS DB-30 Dr. Beat), stick control, the new breed

[the_pure_drummer]

Christ how much is that going to add up to?

[CasB]

Optimounts, ordered and will be here just before x-mass I gues..

For the rest: nothing, got all I need for now.

[Sunshine]

I'd love plenty of things, but the only thing I'm really pulling for are sticks.

Since my birthday's ALSO in December [on the 19th], I have 2 chances...but my parents probably arn't hooking me up.

I put a birthday/Christmas wishlist on my myspace [OMGZ GEEKZOR] for my buddies, with the following at the bottom of the list:

~Drumsticks [Vic Firth, Vater or Japanese Oak if you can find 'em, size 5B]

Verbadum.

But I'm not getting my hopes up, the only ones who'd be able to do that are the ones who go up to Tucson or the ones in Japan...of which there's only 1 actually sending me something [she freaking rocks, hard].

Ah well.

Maybe I'll get birthday/Christmas money.

Or maybe my parents will decide to be awesome and get me like a $50 GC giftcard [they do giftcards more now that I'm getting older].

[ApathyInTheUK]

My first kit - Yamaha Rydeen, plus some silencers so the neighbours dont get too much of a shock.

[Sunshine]

My first kit - Yamaha Rydeen, plus some silencers so the neighbours dont get too much of a shock.

I got my first kit last year =D

But it was for my Sweet 16.

But it was still 'round this time.

Very cool =D

[ant_182]

Whats with this "sweet 16" you yanks have?


-Ant-

[Sunshine]

I didn't really DO anything for it.

We were flying to Canada that day, actually, snowboarding in Whistler for Christmas.

But you know.

Girls and their 16th birthday.

Drivers license and all [even though I didn't get mine til August...didn't even get my permit til March].

Getting older, blah blah blah.

More freedoms.

Expensive birthday present.

And so on, etc.

[ant_182]

Oh, cool. Like out 18ths and 21st what so special bout being 21? Anyway I've seen on MTV the spoilt lil bratz!


-Ant-

[Sunshine]

Oh man.
That MTV show KILLS me like none other.
I want to punch each and every one of those stupid little kids in their heads =/

What's special about being 21? You kidding me?
You can legally drink.
Which for me isn't special, because I can drink anyway, but for other people.
And you won't get arrested or nothin', which is very much cool.

[Corkofski]

new heads
new stands
new hihat stand
new beats


i like that...

[ant_182]

No, I mean in the UK. We can drink here at 18. :) Legally. I Was curious to UK's sorry! But yeh, thoses kids :@

[ant_182]

Sorry double post

[Sunshine]

No, I mean in the UK. We can drink here at 18. :) Legally. I Was curious to UK's sorry! But yeh, thoses kids :@

Ohh, sorry~

Yeah.

Its like.

16 to drive.
17 to see R-rated moves and buy parental advisory CDs
18 to vote/rent a hotel room/enter contests/buy porn/have it not count as statutory rape/be tried as an adult/do most adult things
21 to drink

And 25 to rent a car, but nobody celebrates that.
25 is also the age at which your car insurance goes down, but nobody celebrates that either.

It DOES keep things interesting, getting new rights [privilages] all the time.

I didn't even know people in the UK celebrated 21.
Weird.

[Brokensticks]

Here I believe the age is 19.

I honestly can't wait till Christmas I love the day in general and the stuff me and my family does!

that is the stupidest law ever, you should be able to rent a car at 18, or 21 at the least, you can fight in a war, drink a beer, and smoke when your 21 and are a legal adult, but you cant rent a car, that makes absolutely no sense.

When my parents were 22 they flew from MD out to Arizona and planned to rent a car and drive out to California(they were unaware of this gay 25 year age limit, they figured they were 21 they could rent a car), so they had to just stay in Arizona, totally ruined their trip

20" K Ride
Mapex Pro M kit

Another crash

I won't be getting any of this though. My parents hate that I play drums. They won't even let me buy stuff with my own money, let alone theirs.

[~(lunch_box)~]

why dont your parents like you playing drums? and you should be able to buy whatever you want with your own money(as long as its legal lol).
your parents are idiots, drumming is a great hobby.
on average musicians are smarter than kids not involved with music.
sorry about my little rant but that really pissed me off, and there not even my parents!, if they were idk what i would do.

good luck trying to get that stuff, i hope you can convince them to get it for you

[Panopticon]

Im gonna ask for a brick of VF Danny carey sig sticks...they're so damn comfy.

[evilfirepeopleq]

Yea, It pisses me off too. In fact, tomorrow I wanted to go try out for the Raider's Drum and Bugle Corp Drumline (DCI Div 3 if any of you are familiar with this). But my parents won't let me. So stupid.

my parents dont hate me playing drums, they just dont like the money i put into it. i spent $450 aus on tama cobra jnrs and meinl amun ride and my mum has decided thats enough for atleast a year, and i still have like another $500 or $600 left.

[jversluis88]

Christmas and birthdays are awesome for getting stuff you couldn't normally afford. Over the years I've gotten heads, a throne, stands, it's awesome. This year I'm getting a nice new ride (though it counts for both my Christmas and birthday present), and a few sticks too (cause a couple pairs lasts me a little more than a year).

[jversluis88]

Sucks when your parents don't support you eh? I have one "step"-parent that won't, so I can't imagine having no support at all. Sorry, man.

[ant_182]

I have a step-grandparent. He's always saying sh*t about my drums etc. I basically tell him to f off. And its all good!

Same here, but i've put a lot more money into my drums than that.

[the_pure_drummer]

Check out my thread for my presents guys!

[Myslik]

Due to me holding out on a large Christmas gift for quite a long time(6 years), and my birthday being December 11th.
My parents chose to give me a big one this year.



Mapex Pro M Studio kit in Emerald green finish.


New pedals. Either Yamaha DD FD or Axis Longboards


Heads of some sort.. still haven't decided..


New sticks, Promark 2b's


Brother is getting me a pair of Flat hats cheap where he lives.. the guy who owns the shop is his buddy.


New Breed book


And I might buy myself a rack. Depends if I want to spend any money :rolleyes:


-Paul

[the_pure_drummer]

Definatly buy a rack man!

[Myslik]

Any type you'd recommend?
I was thinking of a dixon

[the_pure_drummer]

Either go for a pearl icon if you have the money or else get a gibralter both are amazing racks. I havent heard much about dixon racks before.

[Myslik]

Alright thanks man I'll go check them out if I have time. or I'll just tell my buddy he has to get me a present :)
Nah I'll buy it lol, I'm getting enough generous gifts as it is.


-Paul

[goalieman92]

hey there white, I got some pics of my team up in the hockey thread. check em out.

No its not stupid. 65% of people who drive have at least one accident before they are 25. It halves every 5 years after that. safety and health is more important than convenience.
