I'm getting 13" K/Zs and a 13" K Mastersound Bottom

i love 15" hats. i dunno why. ive got 2 pairs of em.

Why doesn't anybody play with 18" hi-hats?

I used to: 18" Stagg SH Crash over 18" Crash-Ride. They're too hard to position.

As hi-hats? That would be so hard to position.

Sad. My Sig Sound Edges are amazing.

I heard that stupid song in the Bette/Tina sex scene in the L-Word. I thought it was Melissa Etheridge, though. Maybe I'm not so gay afterall.

And wtf? Why is that song always used in NC-17 rated things?

Awwww, i got Karizma's 'Document' (+ 2 unrelseaed) album on. With my system especcially.... friggin floors me every time!

Who is in your avatar, Jos?

EDIT: Is it a self portrait?

EDIT again: Is it a self portrait of you with your dual gats?

[QUOTE=Antigone]I'm not a fan of huge sized anything.

I'm really sick of my Pro Sonix hats, though. I'm going to upgrade for my birthday, but I haven't decided what to. I like Paiste 2002 sound edges a lot, but they're hella expensive. =/



And I'm mad at my pedals. My slave is clicking and I don't know why.[/QUOTE]
I had the same problem, you have to raise the foot board angle higher.

Ugh, I just drank rotten milk. Disgusting.

Ditto.

That or the beater is slightly loose. That would do it, too.

[QUOTE=kingofthedrums22]Ugh, I just drank rotten milk. Disgusting.[/QUOTE]

Nasty. My brother left a 3 week cup of milk hidden in his room and I found it yesterday. That was a big surprise.

Wow, the stronghold died. 6 hours after my post somebody else posted, then 5 hours after that one somebody else posted.

[quote=GuitarCenter.com review on PDP402 Double Pedal]if you are a drummer that is even remotely serious DO NOT BUY THIS KICK, ive played for about a year and a half now, coming up on two pretty soon, this is the first double kick ive bought and I definitely regret it. Its a piece of crap. not smooth at all, it squeaks, the felt part of the beater is wearing off, no matter how hard I try even w/ the help of other people I can not seem 2 get the tensioning right at all and its never been right to begin with. My advice: If you ever buy a pedal anything besides this one. This is by far the biggest waste of money ive ever spent on my drum kit so far. and a pretty big disappointment[/quote]

Wow.

Try it now.

I like to clap and cheer when we pass crashes involving cars like that on the thruway.

My footboard is the same height as my other pedal. I adjusted it higher, and it still clicked. I also searched for an allen wrench for 20 minutes to fit my pedal so I could tighten the part thats holding the beater, and it's as tight as it will go with out stripping it.

Haha, yeah. I may drive fast at times, but never like that. Its totally not worth it.

This place slowed down a lot lately.

My pedals are pretty.

Hmmm... is the hinge loose at all? I just jiggled my pedal around a bit and that's the only other thing I could come up with for why it might be clicking.

That or where the FDs fold together might be a little loose. I dunno.

:p

Really, BB? Do you like touching them in... places...?

I hope my drum teacher will make me go through stick control.
I can't do it on my own. =/


Edit: It might be the hinges, but I've got to find another wrench.
I'm lazy.

And wtf are FDs?

Are you serious?

I know it's a little hard getting started, but I just sit down at my kit and say "All right... I'm not doing anything else until I've done at least 20 minutes of Stick Control." It's worked so far.

:chug:

I did 20 minutes of it last night and it was like the biggest orgasm when my mother yelled at me to go water the garden.

And I was winging it with out a metronome.

FDs = Flying Dragons

Last I heard that's what you used. :p

And Stick Control really shouldn't be played without a metronome (imo). Same with any technique book, imho.

I usually go through at quarter note equals 100. Fast enough to not get boring but slow enough for me to jump to new patterns without taking a break or trying to figure out what's going on.

I stroke my Big Dogs all over, thoroughly and intimately. All three of them. <3

Agh. That was a weird context to use it in so I didn't get it.


I was doing them like I practice rudiments. Starting out slow, speeding up to as fast as possible, and then slowing it down to the starting point. That's the only way I don't get bored out of my mind.

mmm... sounds like a good ol' fashioned orgy.

Hmmm... I don't really like that speeding up thing. I know other people do but I've never gotten it. Seems to me like all it is is promoting a bad habit.

:p

uh, i tried to play an hour of one stroke roll today at 100 bpm, after 10 minutes i got bored so i got to 110, and then after 15 minutes of 110 bpm i realllllyy got bored so i went to 160 and had fun for the rest of the hour that remained. :)
when i got tired i always thought of josiah saying that relaxation is important so i really practiced relaxation, wow you can just play really fast for a long time if your completly relaxed, it's so fun!
