[QUOTE=spiritII]Well a Happy Birthday to me! I'm getting money, so a drumming purchase or two shall follow...I'll keep you posted.[/QUOTE]

yeah, money's always good

i still got at least 7 months till my birthday.

Luckily im setting up an ebay account tonight...and selling over $1000 worth of stuff within the next week.

The VW Golf GTI advert with the Singing in the Rain remix and the body popping is the best advert I think I've ever seen. And to make this drum related, the remix has some pretty cool drumming, even if it is most likely a sequencer.

^^^^
Idols are important. They bring guidance.

Idols are great to have. And you know you've accomplished a lot in life when you're someone's idol.

My real name is Warner. I have a really really horrible drumset, and am ordering a new one sometime within the next 6 months (when i have enough cash saved). I've been drumming for a year and a half. Doublebassjim is my forum hero.

Seriously. Props to Jim. He's the coolest guy on this forum, in my opinion. (extrememly helpful, and nice.)

My Names Tom K. I like In Warrington near Manchester in North west England. Ive been playing drums for going on 3 1/2 years. I play on a Yamaha YD kit with remo emperors on toms with stock resos. Ambassador on snare with ambassador snare side aswell and Powerstroke 3 on Bass. I use Sabian Pro Sonix and HHX cymbals. i use a Dixon pedal (quality...not) mostly use yamaha hardware
My Main influences are Brad Wilk, Chad Smith,?uestlove,Jack Irons,Steve Elliot, Steve Gadd,Chris Perry,Dennis Chambers,John Bonham,john Blackwell,Jose Pasillas, DH peligro etcetc
I play mostly funk hip hop some drum and bass, and rock with a bit of Punk and Jazz thrown in for good measure.

OK, I'll bite seeing as how I'm new here and I've got 2 minutes before lunch! I'm Martin, 27, married and live in Staffordshire, UK. I play guitar (Ibanez 7-string and an acoustic), bass (Yamaha TRB that I got for my 21st present, *sweet* :)), keyboards (couple of E-MU synths) and drums (Big Yamaha SCA Nouveau kit with Sabian AAX and Signature cymbals, Remo heads and LP percussion). Into all kinds of music, but mostly traditional progressive rock (Yes, Flower Kings, Transatlantic etc). Main drumming influences are Neil Peart, Alan White, Rod Morgenstein and Mike Portnoy, been playing forever (like 12 years or something, on and off) but only finally bought myself a kit just after Christmas, so it's nice and shiny and new still :)

... and there goes the oven timer :)

Martin

So How did everyone's weekend go

Decent, im tired of this weather though. It couldnt possibly get any hotter and more humid.

I finished my GCS's off, looking at 9 in the bag. :cool:

It's pretty humid here in the UK too, we cut down the big trees in front of house in the Winter and our house is just getting too hot now :(

It's hot and humid here too, It's really annyiong besides the fact were in a huge thunderstorm right now and it's hailing too.

Other than that it was fine, I have to go to a soccer camp coming up soon :-/

Ahhh man that sucks, thats the only advantage we have here the monster tree coverage.

So hot here in Nova Scotia... it never is..
We have a thunderstorm like every night:/

Those thunder storms :angry:

Ughh one minute I'm sitting by my pond with a friend having a nice drink. Next minute, we're running inside. The storms are causing some serious damage round here too.

I'm also starting to learn bass (I can play a few Smashing Pumpkins' songs) and I have a guitar (I'm going to learn that after bass). My idols musically are Jimmy Chamberlin and Danny Carey. If anyone wants to talk to me im me on aim (screen name= amishelectricsco).

My name is James cardos. im from south east pennsylvania USA. 14 years old. ive been drumming for about 2 years now. some of my main influences are Neil Peart, Dave Lombardo, and Charlie Benante.

The weather is insane here. 2 weeks ago it was like 70's and now its 90+ and really humid. it rained for the first time in like 3 weeks today. the weather in america is completely non-sence and nobody gives a shi[SIZE=2]t[/SIZE]

hey good bump


my weekend wasn't long enough. it seems like it went by pretty fast because i have a sh[B][I][/I][/B]it job during the week.

i wish i had a job. i need to look for a real one. i jstu do a bunch sidejobs. i need to look for a real one soon.

well its not realy a "job" job, more of a volunteer thing where i choose not to get paid. needed to get service hours to graduate highschool and if i worked at this camp close to my area i could get them all in one week. i figured one clean sweep would be easy but the camp is a blower. i work with second grade boys and it i dont have the energy or patience to deal with them sometimes. its agravating to say the least.

:wave: My name is Chris Hare, I live in West Virginia USA. I like drumming, video games, girls, and anything music. I mostly listen to metal and hard rock but i like everything (except for country).Ive been drummg for 2 years and i own a ****ty Excell Percussion 5 piece. im 15 years old.

^Hey man, welcome to the forums. Enjoy your stay :thumb:

Welcome, im glad this thread bumped.

Welcome to the forums all :-)

D&P is one of the more better organized/good forums on the board.

My name is Dene, learnt bass guitar when I was in middle school (wayyyyy back), moved on to "proper" guitar after 7 years, played and practised really hard - then had a massive car crash, ended up on a life-support machine, got better after like 2 years but due to memory losses forgot most of what I'd learned. Guitar went away due to the depression of being rubbish again - decided to take up drums instead (which has now taken over my life....)
Married, 2 kids, lovely wife, boring job. Probably one of the oldest on here but don't let that put you off! :wave:

Harsh, you know that the pit is :D

Jon, 33, Married, bun in the oven, live in Longmont, Colorado, work for the Univ of Colorado in Boulder.

Played for many years as the-guitarist-who-had-a-set-of-drums (really old beat up Slingerlands with no reso's, and some pawn shop Zildjians+22" ride with a big V cut out of it--had it over 8 years and never even thought to change the heads). Sold them when I moved to a (really really) small apartment in Boulder. Got back into to drums more seriously about a year ago after buying a house with a basement, and I've been actually trying to [I]play[/I] them this time. I currently have standard Mapex V-series (w/Zil K Custom, Zil-Avedis, Sab AAX-all upgraded from my original ZBT collection-ok, I still have some) that I finally got a decent sound out of (thanks drum tuning bible), and within the next few weeks I'm getting my fusion Sonor Force 3005 (!). Have a rock'ish-like trio, that I jam with once a week. Still love to play everyday, and haven't picked up a guitar in months (even on a recent camping trip), except to show my guitarist some riff or another on an acoustic.

I like this board for it's international memberships (UK, Europe, Austrailia, etc.), among other things. Lerned a lot. thanks everybody.
