Yeah, disregard that question guys, I made it a thread.

hey guys!
my names jonny, i'm 14, and from Hastings, UK

as you might guess from my name, im a big fan of Joey Jordison and Travis barke, who i think are 2 truly great drummers.

anyway, the reason i signed up here is:
at christmas im thinking of getting a new drum kit!! not sure if anyone will of heard of it, its a "pearl Exported" i think, the guy in the shop said they were great for the money, and is even throwing in some zildjian zbt cymbals!!

ive been playing for 3 years, took my grade 4 exam last summer.

soi yea, what else should i get for my new kit?

DUDE!!

you have same name as me and live just down the coast from me!!
i'm in Eastbourne...

do you know Harry Hastings? guy with big hair, everyone knows him?

thatll be an export your getting, ive heard interesting things about them... im gonna ignore your fave drummers, and you can get a LOT better cymbals for the money...

hey man, thats awesome!!

nah, i dont know this harry guy, bt then i dont know that many ppl lol.

what the hells wrong with my fave drummers? i love them!!!

and im pretty sure its an exported... i'll check tho

oh dear god... its started....

corkofski, what college you at?

i got a couple of mates at sdc in eastbourne!!

I'll go cry in a corner.

Haha it's ok charlie, next time around...


Depending on your budget, the availibility, and the price offered. The xport might be the way to go.

ah! great!

i know that joey plays a pearl kit and i love the sound and sped he gets from his bass drums!

do you know if they sell exports with double basses?

Yeah, but only posers buy them. Hmm come to think of it, one of those might suit you perfectly.

are you calling me a poser?

:confused:

What gave you that idea?

i wonder...

stfu Jew

what i dont get what you mean. i thoght you wanted a double bass kit? the pearl exports are probably the cheapest option.

[QUOTE=Charlie Manson;13708032]Yeah, but only posers buy them. Hmm come to think of it, one of those might suit you perfectly.[/QUOTE]

this post...

you say only posers buy em and then itll suit me perfectly

No you havent. Not even some like Jos or Damo has "mastered" single.

then we'll have a big party!

im prolly better than you? how long you been playing?

Well, they play Blink and Slipknot tunes like no other I'd imagine...

EDIT: This is in reply to the post below. Cue inexplicable time-warp conspiracy theories.

Crap. I deleted my post by accident.

I said:

Anyone who idolises Travis and joey cannot know much about drumming.

Anyone who beleives they've mastered part of an instrument cannot know much about it.

I cannot name a single person who's mastered an aspect of drumming.

[QUOTE=JoeYdrummerTraviS;13708054]ive mastered single pedal :)[/QUOTE]

That's quite a claim. Find a video or two of Jojo Mayer to get an idea of excellent single-pedal playing. Or, you could post audio/video showing your mastery of the single pedal, then I'll take that back.

Mastering single pedal before moving to double isn't that good an idea, in my opinion. Just means you lose time working with the double pedal; you can continue to play fast single-foot rhythms, even with a double pedal attached to your kit.

Wooo!

My Sonor S-Class snare arrived today! I've been happy all day. Ghost notes sound a whole lot better, it brings a smile to my face.

There's a picture of it in the thread I made (and a small audio clip).

I wish I had a good camera. I really want to take some fancy photos of my kit. I did a unit in scientific photography this year at uni, and it was whole lot of fun.

Just been offered 8 gigs in Darlington over mid-december with Soznak (funk/latin) paying £100 each. I can make all of those except the very last one on the 16th. It's so annoying that I can't make the 16th because the only other thing i'm booked for is a few tunes with the jazz combo (NOT PAID) in the Sage, Gateshead. That's one hundred farkin pounds!! For a bloody jazz ensemble in the sage! Arg.

Oh well, this should still be £700 comin my way. I can't see myself ever earning more money in such a small space in time. Unless I get good at the drums...

OR unless I go on that gig tour in Beijing.... I wouldn't mind seeing China and getting paid for it...


Maybe I should buy a car.

[QUOTE=JoeYdrummerTraviS;13708078]im prolly better than you? how long you been playing?[/QUOTE]

Wow this kid sounds like he's the real deal. Come on son, post something. Show me what ya got. Post anything you like of your own playing, and maybe we can all place wagers on if I can tear you apart only using one drum...

Ive got a fiver on Jezen and the snare.

Go team! :thumb:

Go team NorthEastScum :D
