i was born on the 19th too man! we get the whole "happy birthday AND marry christmas." (one present)

I need lube right now, but I don't want a yest infection from vaseline.

The only thing I can think of is spit. Damn it.

[QUOTE=Sunshine]But I did just get back yesterday from a 2-week visit..[/QUOTE]
That's what I was thinking of.

I've been in airports/airplanes all day, and I'm not tired at all. This is surreal.

Does anyone know how Rabb gets his one handed rolls? Are they just Moeller, really well-practised?

Just watched the Meinl Booth video of him, hadn't been interested in learning them until I saw them used tastefully!

~~

I never really thought of a practical use for them...

I have.

Everyday when I get behind the kit.

I'm talking about the one where you bounce it off the head while resting it on the rim the bounce it again so it deos it really fast. I could never really get it to sound even and powerful like a normal roll.

If it did sound good though, then I'd use it. But I don't really care about it that much.

theres the push pull that buddy rich and jojo mayers bust out. basically the one handed roll.

Is that a different method?

I think.

The push pull (I think) doesn't need the assistance of the rim, while Rabb uses the rim as a sort of rebound.

I don't know though...

Hahaha. You're like the 4th or 5th person I've met [well..."met"] with the same birthday as me.

And I know an assload of other people who have birthdays within a week.

I'm a twin and I met another pair of twins with the same birthday as me and my twin :amaze:

Now that's just damnably creepy.

To be precise.

That's just creepy.

the push pull does NOT need the rim.

you basically push the stick, making it hit, then pull it, making it hit again. repeat.

THAT is the push-pull. i tried practicing it and it basically turned into the normal one handed roll. hit, bounce-hit, bounce-hit, etc...

I went and seen darkest hour last night, because I like em of course. It was pretty kickass, the pit was quite crazy. It was good fun. I must say their drummer isn't anything amazing or nothing. Almost looks like he struggles alot, but I just think that's his look. But it was a pretty kickass show

So yeah. Im sitting here in the recording studio on my laptop while my lead singer lays down his tracks. We did one song already and in the middle its got a really sweet groove in it. Ill post it when its completed.

Woo. Im buying a new china today. 22" China Boy Low. Too bad I need a camera though.

anybody good at where's waldo??

Except i made it when the mods were getting really mad at all of the spamming and to show how much post counts mean to me i made a new account and i didn't know what to name it.

Is pespi a boy or a girl, cos one minute it has a shlong, and the next is has a fadge?

Sorry for the use off It pespi, i'm jsut not sure, or are you a haemaphrodite, or a skitzophrenic (no idea how to spell those last two big words)?

So aparently, my girlfriend has been going to mrs spielberg's (stevens mom) resturant for some time. They've become friends, "a darling woman she is..." *sigh* and I was just informed we've been invited to a dinner party at her house. maybe stevie will be there, one can hope.

Who here reads Rhythm magasine? Has anyone been reading the series they're currently doing on drum tuning? I love the guys methods, keeping it simple and dispelling some of the myths.
I tuned up my bass drum by his advice- no dampening, and no hole, and it sounds absolutely brilliant! So full and punchy and I can really feel it, but it sounds great from round the front too. Mmmm yeah.

I got the first one (the basic overview), but i havn't bought any since them
havn't had the time to buy or read em.

Last night was fun.

I'm never going to think of cucumbers the same way again.

So you made the "not cocaberry" name too then?

Last night was fun.

I'm never going to think of little girls the same way again.

Last night was fun.

Im never going to think of an underage girl that was drunk at my friends party so I took her back to my place and played scrabble with her the same way again.
