Couldnt you have said like "My parents can't afford pens"?

That would probably work here, but I dunno 'bout how ghetto Pespi's area is.

Somewhere in L.A.

I thought she was East coast.

Ah well.

All I know is that here in SV, there are more trailers than houses and freaking old people than workers. People come here when they're too poor to live anywhere else...thats the reason one of my friends lives here.

Yes. That will go over just perfect as I sit there in my hollister and addidas while listening to my $300 mp3 player.

Lol. I HATE writing in pen. I always screw up.

Yeah, so do I.

But my pencil broke so all I've had is pen lately.

I'm doing an aptitude test, and right now it's got some of the WORST possible questions. Maybe I'm just missing something. Here's one of them. It gives you 3 options, and you choose the one you'd most like to do, and the one you'd least like to do. Remember, this is supposed to point you in the direction of a career.

19.
a. Parachuting from an airplane
b. Planning a birthday party for children
c. Keeping a well ordered work area

:lol: The 3 options never have anything to do with each other. It looked like a decent test before I started though. Oh well, only 80 questions to go.

Wtf? LA?
I would never live in California. Ever.

I'm from Western New York. East coast niggaz.


I like pen because it's easier to do cursive in, but I didnt' have on handy when I did the work. She's lucky I even bothered. Right now I'm at an A in the course. So long as I get a C it will transfer.

I'd tick keeping a wlel ordered work area if the work area was my desk, but if it was like, a cubicle or something pointless then i'd parachute from the plane.

All those tests that say your career are pointless. We have a program at school called kudos, and it said my best 3 jobs were:
Demolition contracter
Motorbike engineer
RAF technician

Apart from the RAF tech, i wouldn't take any of those jobs...

Yeah, we had a decent one at my school last year, but it didn't follow up with anything. It just gave you a pie chart of your likes. Mine was like 30% musical, 30% artistic, and some other stuff, but it ends there. It just assumes you'll say "I'm 30% artistic, 30% musical, etc. That means I should do this for a career!!!"

Whoa, we're coming up to 50,000 posts!!! :amaze:

I did one. I had 100% artistic.

I took the test wrong.

Yay, I got my name change!!! I didn't think it was going to happen.

Wtf?

I remember that program at school, Kudos! :lol:

I was just looking for jobs with high pay.

Yay 50k!!! Unless someone posts before me and my message about how someone is posting before me???

Edit: D'amn. I knew it would hapen. :lol:

Get in! 50k with my name on it.

I need to tune my drum kit, but my mum is home now and it's 21:00.

I want to have my bass drum tuned right open, but i have some AF patches on it, and i don't want to take them off and find i don't like it. Does felt beaters on an evans AF patch do much to the sound?

No.

Sure. Felt beaters have their sound. And patches have their additions.

With that combo, you are looking at a very soft attack.

Yuh?

At the moment i have plastic beaters, with AF patches on a 1, thick ply head, with a pillow in. Medium tension batter with loose reso. To me, when i sit and play, that gives loads of attack, and the beaters+patch give it that little bit extra definition that let people know it's the bassdrum.

If i stand on the other side of the room, it's a really low but powerfull thud.

Do you reckon i should keep it as it is,
Tune it wide open and have felt against the AF patches
Or tune it wide open and have plastic against the AF patches.

Or i could just go and do this myself and see what i like best... In the morning...

Depends on the sound you are going for. Change it up, play with it, see what the drum can do for you.

The hard beater will deffinetly give you more attack over the soft beater. That's an easy switch to play with.

I'm for tuning the drum wide open and going from there. Sometimes a lilmuffling is nessicary to take out some lingerying sound. Though I dislike using a pillow unless it's made for it, because then you are muffling the shell as well as the heads. I made alil pillow, it only has stuffing in the endsso it doesn't muffle the shell the whole lengthof the drum. They sell some on like that too.

I'm incredibly cold. The weather doesn't look like it's going to pick up any time soon, and me and my friends are going camping in exactly a week. So far the forecast is for temps no higher than 15 degrees (celcius), and lows of 0-2 at night time. That's going to be really cold to sleep in a tent like that.

We went camping for a class 2 years ago, and at night, it got down to -20 degrees. We all slept in coats, snowpants, gloves and toques.

Here's another question from my aptitude test:

85
a. Advising a person whether to sue another person.
b. Caring for a plum orchard.
c. Reading customers' gas meters for a power company.

:lol:

pretty thinly veiled right there

Holy **** im tired. And I feel like I got punched in th nose

Well, i can stick an EMAD on the bass drum. That'll provide some muffling whilst keeping the "round" feel of the shell.

i'm single stroke rollin the poo outta my pad with the butt ends of my MSII's


...i think it's goina catch on fire soon.

That, and your forearms will turn to silly putty.

What is defined as the width of the drum???
Like, top of the edge to top of the edge, outer ply to outer ply, inner ply to inner ply?

Or is it more of a "stick the measuring tape there and whatever is closest is the width"?
