We should have snow in a couple of weeks. But I'm hoping it doesnt snow until after my drivers test.

Snow is for fags.

[QUOTE=Pazz;13719705]It's a funny song, but it's a lot better with the video, and our teacher would probably be lost.[/QUOTE]

The video is hilarious. I'm one of the few nerdy enough to get all of the jokes too i think :(

Jon: Playing open is not a mistake. He probably plays with too much arm, incorrect grip or incorrect technique striking.

Joel: You don't play set though, right?

PS: Only heads I ever broke were bass drums =(

says the canadian

I've never broken an acoustic string before, and I've been hounding the same acoustic for three years. And I play the crap out of it.

The strings are incredibly dull now, though.

I've played set for like four years, I just haven't played as much since I got to college.

:eek: It's Joel, my Vibes hero!

Man..I pwn with Vibes now lol.

I'm actually (In my opinion) pretty good with all Percussion stuff, aside from Snare and Drum Set.

Those I'm iffy in, especially snare.

I dunno. It just was never an issue.

Because Joel is a gentle man.

He doesn't make music with the drums, he makes love to the instrument.

[QUOTE]Jon: Playing open is not a mistake. He probably plays with too much arm, incorrect grip or incorrect technique striking.[/QUOTE]

Considering he's self taught, probably all of the above.

I just realized yesterday that I could do a standard quarter-note-hi-hat
whole note alternating snare/bass drum. Me friends have been trying to teach me drums for weeks (so that we would all be interchangeable), but I could never even do that much. I have such white boy rhythm.

You dont rim shot to often. And when I do, I use the lowest part of the stick I can manage, because apart from rim shots it gets less traffic, but that's probably drastically wrong.


You use the shoulder of the stick, where it's begun to get thicker when your playing splashed/open hats, instead of the part just below the tip. And dont go to hard on it either, that's the thing with hats, they're loud things especially when miced. You dont really need to hit 'em too hard.

quads are the most annoying ****ing instruments in existence

seriously

No no no, making love is HOW you make music.

lol, that's pretty much where it's at right there.

weirdo

stew: set4lyfe

jon: the holes are small and i mean joel is white...but i don't think he's that tiny

tbm: rimshotting every back beat isn't uncommon actually

either way though, they wear down the stick eventually...metal is harder than wood and one of them has to give

*mitch.
Or tbm, but Mitch prefferably...

Well yeah, that's the truth, but people who do that, professionals or otherwise, break their sticks after a while. It's like you said, wood's softer than metal. Actual you said it the other way round but whatever.

[QUOTE=TheBigMachine;13719916]Hello stewy. How goes?[/QUOTE]

How 'bout you?

Not bad. It was 35 degrees C at about 8.00 am today. It's about 40 C now. Dang it's hot, thank god Im not at school.

I love the heat.

It's like..0C or so around here. I hate winter..:(

THROW SOME D'S ON THAT BITCH

We might actually get weather around 38F(3.33C) on Thursday. :eek:

It's been 70-80F(21-27C)ish all week and humid the last 2 days. :-\

I did conversions for you weirdos out there on Metric scale. :p

Its supposed to be 21 degrees (FARENHEIT) tonight. I have no clue what that is in celsius, so figure it out yourselves.

That would be -6.1111...C.

Yay for scientific calculators that do conversions for you.

I hope we actually have a cold winter this year.

Last year there was maybe a week of cold weather and then we were back in the 70s wtf.
