Hey this is my first Stronghold post Wooterific!!! I was scanning a few pages back and saw drumphils bass(which is killer btw)...so I thought I'd share my latest hobby. My lady and I have a bun in the oven so to speak so I have bout 6-1/2 months to get proficeint at an instrument that I can play and listen to through headphones.
Ok so my real name is Matthew and I live in North Carolina bout 10 minutes away for some seriously large mountains and the Blue Ridge parkway. I'm 26 and I am an investor of sorts along with some real estate ventures. This leaves me plenty of time to spend with the love of my life Ulanie.
We are looking to buy a house(Maybe build) here within the next year or so since we've finally found a place in which we really enjoy life and can raise a family. Talking about growing up fast>>> I put a crib together today! after a great three and a half hours of drum practice and 1 hour of some online FPS ownage...crazy...glad we got the 3rd bedroom ey???...talk about premonition.

NEways... just thought I'd change the subject from corpse boners is all.

I want a 6-string Yamaha.
My hands are so small, though.

Hey Matter, haven't seen you around lately. Congrats on the family. 6 1/2 months before your life ends.

If you build a house and somehow have extra money for it, you could always soundproof a room in it for drumming and your other music hobbies. And that bass is a thing of beauty.

Nice guitar Matter!! I just bought one too. And congrats on the offspring on the way.

Matter.........more audio/video, I dont care how busy you are!


Just kidding, congrats on the baby.

^^^Thanx...Ya It may have 7 strings but its a >BASS< not a guitar lol-lol hardy-har-har Durp! J/K.
I def want a full basement, the house I'm renting now has a huge basement and its even plumbed for a bathroom. I will talk to the owner soon and see if its possibly for sale. I could finish drywalling and insulating the basement and make a soundproof/enclosed/raised drum room which would be killer. I do have Roland V-drums but they just aren't the same.

What's that? It's a seven string guitar....nice, mine is only six. It's les paul style, not all fancy like your guitar. It's a nice looking guitar though...


(Sorry, I'm an idiot)

That's a nice audio setup you got there, full rack and everything. Sweet looking bass there too.

Woah. The second person I've ever seen/heard use the word durp... ever.

V-drums are good if you feel like practicing at midnight and don't have a soundproofed room, or live in an apartment/semi. where the neighbors will complain, but they don't have the same feel.

I would like to play bass. I've always found it more appealing than guitar, although I am better at guitar since I have an old acoustic lying around that I pick up when I am bored. I have an old electric guitar that my dad bought when he was young, then gave to my uncle, who gave it to me, but the guitar is in pretty rough shape.

So i went to GC and bought two pairs of sticks today.

Vater Fusions

and

Pro Mark 5A American Hickory

I like both of them. The whole night i've been switching off with which ones i've been using.

Sup fellas? Back from my near week hatious of the internets.

Did you go somewhere? Or did you just decide not to come online for a while?

He was getting a new apartment; faith, how'd that go?

I have a somewhat of a tan, But the back of my neck totally gets owned when Im out in the sun.

On a side note. Liking the new place. Surprisingly I didnt move all that far away, and I can drum just about whenever. (not midnight)

No fair; there's still snow an the ground here, and you have to worry about sunburns there? I miss summer :upset:
Although I guess I don't really miss worrying about sunburns...

Nice to hear you like your new place though :)

Really?. Wow lol, all this time I ahve been trying to like fix that haha.

Wow it does work. Thanks ETP

Cool, thanks enemytopublic

Now I have a new thing to waste time on

Today I went shopping. Spent 4 hours walking around and got 2 shirts and a belt.

haha, I always do that. Spend hours on looking around and get very little lol.

Yeah, It sucks. I'm like "Ohh cool, there's sure to be stuff here" then I walked in and the pickings were slim. But I like my belt.

My bands ep is slowly coming together, and I think is sounding really sweet for recording everything out of my basement. We almost finished rhythm guitar today and then after that we have to do piano, leads, maybe some horn sections for parts, and then vocals and we're done.

im sure if you have a boyfriend that he likes it too...on the floor beside your pants! ohhh *Flam, bass, crash!* <---only on a drum forum...

Oh thats awesome! You must post a song or two for us (or send me your ep)

I wrote a song last night in around 4 minutes. It's about politions having an orgy.
