I hate it.

Really? Why?

It's so ugly sitting there next to my Flying Dragons.

You have direct drive dragons? And is there a flying dragon hi-hat stand?

No, it's chain/strap drive, and there isn't technically a 'flying dragon' hi hat stand, but they've got the Yamaha stands that match the pedals.

I like matching things.

My hi-hat stand matches my pedals. I wish i should have gotten a DW 5000, though because eventually i want to upgrade it.

My family has a 1937 Martin 00-18 Accoustic Guitar and a 1931 Dobro Guitar, both of which cost about $8000.

I want a Dobro. Is it a squareneck?

I have all matching Big Dog pedals (all pro models).... YEAH!!

im goin off my dogs... they are hot on my upgrade list...

upgrade dogs to FDs, get new beats and an aux hat stand for old hats, get a china, get some e-pads.

Ya, Anyone got a cheap Electric set, or Module, Or Pad to sell? I just wanna have some electrics on the Kit NOw lol.

Big dog harware sucks

So many people on here are always buying or "upgrading" gear. Makes me wonder if they ever actually play or practice.


Gear ain't nothin but marketing. I can't touch Buddy, Tony, or any of those guys. And they had gear that pales in comparison to even low end stuff now.

I have £210 to spend.

What shall i buy?

Haha, true dat.

Question about stick breakage I didn't really wanna make a new thread for: I've been told that sticks are "meant" to break at the middle, due to rimshots. I'm fairly sure my technique is steady on the cymbals. Yet, my sticks always break away/split at the top, and I never have any chips in my sticks where I play rimshots. Am I going wrong somewhere or is everything ok?

~~
EDIT (to Maniac0796):How many cowbells do you have on your kit?:thumb:

You mean like a crack from near the top going down until about half way?

I get chips and whatnot from doing rimshots. Just like that picture Josiah put up ages ago.

those splits come from playing tip-on on the hihat. i get them all the time cause i love tip-on.

That's what happens to me.

this vid needs to be shown to ALL n00bs who say "how can i play faster??"

Yeah my sticks just chip and eventually split near the top. I guess it's due to playing hi-hats with the shoulder of the stick. But I still play a lot of pretty hard rimshots and no damage to the middle of the stick.

Hmm. I think thats the Roddy video I was just watching from another thread. It's basically stating the obvious; if you play repeated strokes on a limb for an extended period of time, that limb is going to strengthen.

Genius.

~~

its a different one, where he emphasizes the point, FAST ISNT EVERYTHING!!

:eek: it isn't???

Well jee-zus. There goes my philosophy on drums.

Seriously though thats cool, I'll have to watch it when my PC recovers from the Thomas Lang vids it's currently running!

One of my college friends said Roddy has recently really begun to focus on jazz as opposed to his normal styles, don't know how much truth there is in that though.

Got RHCP's new album today. I like a lot. Especially how the whole thing kicks off with a bar of that good ol' hard CS groove :smoke:

I watched Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2 today.

I didn't like the second one that much. Actually, I didn't like Bellatrix or Bill at all.
They should have just made the movie about the O-Ren/Gogo/Sofie love triangle with Elle as the side f[B]u[/B]ck for O-Ren, because I think through all of that holier than thou exterior, O-Ren likes to be sexually dominated. Sofie is totally submissive, especially to O-Ren, but I think that Sofie and Gogo would make the cutest couple.
=/

I think I would make good lesbian movies.

If you are using rimshots for backbeats (you should be shouldn't you?) then yes. The stick should be wearing from the middle area out..


If you aren't playing that many rimshots, the stick will most likely break from the shoulder down in some sort of split.

I hate American clothes.

They're all ugly =/

Walk around in lingerie. Most of it's pretty.









Man I hate slash.
There is so much of it it's not even funny. For every 100 slash stories, there is 1 femslash story, and it's written buy a fat geeky guy who hasn't left the computer chair in weeks. How can something that is so totally fricken' icky be so damned popular? =/

Haha, I should. It's hot as hell here anyway.

I almost wish I lived in London, just because it seems like all the good rave clothes are over there =/

Just attatch bungee cords your pants and wear ski goggles a lot.
Extra points for neon sex braclets up to the elbow.

Three cheers for the spammer posting disgusting pictures of himself. Good thing my internet is running slowly and I had time to close the page before the images completely loaded.
