Lepre, grow up.

Sunshine- Yes, it'll get there the next morning (depending on when you mail it out), but it's very expensive.

ofDooM 09-01-2006 12:09 AM

strange hearing you telling lep to grow up.

sending it overnight is very costly, for me its about $40 overnight, but for 2-3 days its less than $10.

It obviously wasnt that immature seeing as though shes done it before

im getting limited to only listening to opeth. maybe once a week ill listen to something else, but in the meantime opeth it is.

especially their softer songs. any opeth fans on right now? what arts thou favorite songs?

mines gotta be windowpane.

EDIT: Gnite Everybody. Sweet Dreams.

Leprechauns1021 09-01-2006 12:15 AM

Opeth is fukin great. I prefer some of their softer stuff to their heavy shiet. I like Reverie/Harlequin Forest and In My Time of Need.


Their newer CD kicked *** btw

Aaron 09-01-2006 12:20 AM

bleak fo sure

_Wrathchild_ 09-01-2006 12:23 AM

I prefer Opeth's softer stuff too. It's all great, but I love Mikeal Aukerfeldt's clean tone voice.

To Bid You Farewell is probably my favourite song. Absolutely beautiful.

Edit: OMG how could I forget about Bleak! I love that song too.

Aaron 09-01-2006 12:24 AM

hey kelsey, now that your single when are you coming to australia?

Maggot Dream 09-01-2006 12:26 AM

Damn, did I call that or what?

EDIT: Nice save, Coca.

_Wrathchild_ 09-01-2006 12:26 AM

Uhhh

*Runs away from the scary 20 year olds*


Actually....I always did want to go to Australia...

Aaron 09-01-2006 12:28 AM

:naughty: well you've always got somewhere if you want to stay ;)

_Wrathchild_ 09-01-2006 12:28 AM

Uhh

*Runs away again*

Somehow I doubt your girl would approve of that anyway ;)

Aaron 09-01-2006 12:30 AM

hah, probably.. she's pretty cool with me being friends with girls though. i went on holidays overseas with her best friend once.

What's wrong with her? Why don't you want to be her boyfriend anymore, Coca?

Haha...Oh, funny, funny stuff.

Don't worry, I won't expose you.

_Wrathchild_ 09-01-2006 12:35 AM

I saw it too :p

Maggot Dream 09-01-2006 12:37 AM

Hehe.

Sorry Coca, I tried to help. I really, really did.

Cocaberry 09-01-2006 12:37 AM

[QUOTE=_Wrathchild_]I saw it too :p[/QUOTE]

Saw what?

Anyways... can someone please listen to my contest entry and tell me what they think about my playing? I've had the thing on repeat for like the last hour and I wanna see if anyone thinks I'm any good. This is the only audio I've ever posted on here.

Not bad by any stretch.

The only thing that really stood out to me was that your playing seemed stiff in parts. I noticed it first with some of the less complicated fills, it sounds like you need to relax to smoothen them out at lower tempos. Overall good though, I liked it.

I'd love to enter some of these contests. Sucks not having any kind of recording gear.

EDIT: And now, I go to bed. Goodnight, Stronghold.

Cocaberry 09-01-2006 12:47 AM

Cool, thanks.

Yeah man, all you gotta do is go to CompUSA or some computer place and buy a computer mic. That's what I used cause I'm too cheap to buy all kinds of mics to close mic, especially when I have a crappy beginner kit.

Sounds good, but it almost seems like you're rushing at times.

And also, this is just something really picky, but it sounds like you're opening your hi hat to much when you do the open accents.

I would have loved to enter that competition, but I lack any decent recording gear. I was just playing along with that track earlier today though. It's fun.

[/QUOTE]

Thanks, but what do you mean the hi-hat is open too much?

_Wrathchild_ 09-01-2006 12:57 AM

Like if you were playing something like:

[FONT="Courier New"]
|x-x-x-x-x-x-x-o-|
|----o-------o---|
|o-------o-------|[/FONT]

You would be opening the hi hat a bit too much when you're doing the open hat accent on the & of 4.



Anyone here happen to know who Stefon Harris is? He's an awesome jazz vibraphone player and I want to marry him. Good teacher and a cool guy too.

Cocaberry 09-01-2006 01:00 AM

No, I mean why do you think it sounds too open? How much space should there be between the hats when they're open?

_Wrathchild_ 09-01-2006 01:02 AM

Oh I see what you mean.

Umm...I don't know really. Maybe it's just personal preference or something. I don't open mine much when I accent though. No more than an inch, but that's just me.

Janeway 09-01-2006 02:21 AM

Hmm...
Tonight is the night I have to stay up in order to get on a normal sleep schedule. I'm not looking forward to it. I made 'Klingon' coffee. It's essentially unsweetened cocoa, equal, cinnamon, nondairy creamer, and instnat coffee. It tastes okay, but I doubt it's going to entice me to not fall asleep.

Foo.

Xorkofski 09-01-2006 02:23 AM

in england, we have proplus

they keep you awake

zfzgg 09-01-2006 04:11 AM

What the ..... heck?

I posted some (hopefully helpful) audio in the advanced section (upbeat sixes) like three days ago, and no-one has posted since. I know Josiah (who started the thread) has visited advanced numerous times since then, but he hasn't said whether or not i helped at all. Why does the world hate me :S?

I need a hug...

*hint*

psychedelic_liam 09-01-2006 04:28 AM

*hug's you* was that the hint?

Cocaberry 09-01-2006 04:30 AM

Haha.

Yeah I just listened to the audio and I don't understand that Upbeat 6 stuff. The link to the pattern on the original post doesn't work either.

Pleaseme 09-01-2006 05:56 AM

Everyone discuss how awsome the new Maiden album is and how awsome and cool Nikko is. Go.

Kronos 09-01-2006 06:01 AM

I got that album from the Daily Upload on MX R&M - and it didn't work.

So I can't comment
/is brassed off

Good interview with Nikko in this month's Rhythm Mag tho'

Pleaseme 09-01-2006 06:05 AM

Yeah it is! I highly reccomend getting the bonus DVD version of the album, theres loads of footage of them in the studio and stuff. Seriously everything about this album is covered in awsome. AWSOME I TELL YOU.

Drum Phil 09-01-2006 06:34 AM

[quote=_Wrathchild_]I want to go to a concert :(. I haven't been to one since I saw Opeth in March, which was rather awesome might I add.

Stupid Manitoba rarely has good concerts.

And Phil, isn't it past your bedtime?[/quote]

No :D I'd only just got in, i was under the influence.

I watched the making of doc last night. I love it when bruce is like, "nowdays, it's all terrorist fundamentalists, diesese (a few more things), BIRD FLU!"

and when he says "as far as i'm concerned, i write my lyrics in english, and if foreigners can't understand that, then tough!"

Nicko is such a legend in the DVD, and his kit pwns, apart from the angle his ride cymbal and snare are at.

Pleaseme 09-01-2006 06:58 AM

Haha yeah, Bruce singing about Bird Flu? Maybe not.
I just love the way they're all really down to earth. And Nikko's 'time for a glass of wine, i think'. hehehe.
I love the way his kit looks, i think it's pretty unique. And so so pretty! Are you going to see him at DrummerLive this year? He was great last year.
