[QUOTE=SilentScream7]I'm "trying to" play drums at the moment, I'm just so rich I can afford anything.

:p Nah, I'm getting good quality stuff so later when I get better I don't have to go spend money on better equipment.[/QUOTE]
What if you give up on it? what do you do then?

I don't give up, I set goals and accomplish them. Oh and the amount of money my Dad spent on them is enough modivation.

motivation.

well you can't let your old man down can you?

[QUOTE=guitrguy]What if you give up on it? what do you do then?[/QUOTE]

Meh, that's what my little brother did. There is now a drumset in front of my TV :angry:

However, it isn't all bad. My brother decided to play electric guitar, and he is really good for his age/the time he's been playing. The set is decent, so I just have any of my drummer friends come over and bang on it so I can practice keeping him in time (Ah, the duties of the bassist...).

Damn spelling. Nah it's not that, I would just feel kind of guilty.

[QUOTE]Trevor, I have no socks, for your band has rocked them off. [/QUOTE]

Dude, ben! We start recording our 5-song demo in early January! woohooo!



[QUOTE]I quite like that song on your band's myspace.[/QUOTE]

thanks, man.

[QUOTE]Yeah I like Without A Trace a lot. Great show. And I think the two Aussies are the best actors of the entire show. Hands down.[/QUOTE]

yeah, yeah, yeah, I've heard every damn tv show joke in the book, Riva. :p

I'll check your band out when I get to Mexico tomorrow, ICB. Judging by the rave reviews you're getting from the other posters, I wouldn't want my ears to bleed this late at night.

Don't worry, I'll be back on here to rant about your band tomorrow. Nighty night.

yeah I kinda wanna get a drumkit.

kinda.

So would I. My friend has one, and I've tried playing numberous times, but I just lack the cordination. Plus there is no room in my house for one.

Im ready to pick up drums. it should be easy with all the rythm theory have been doing for school

Explain this rythm theory you speak of.

[QUOTE=Butcher]So would I. My friend has one, and I've tried playing numberous times, but I just lack the cordination. Plus there is no room in my house for one.[/QUOTE]My friend got one recently. I learned the basic beats when I came over and he still can't play it.

I like the new thread title.

[QUOTE=Butcher]Explain this rythm theory you speak of.[/QUOTE]
its like sight reading without pitches. it get really complex.
on test he give me a line that i have to count. last one i did was in 9/8 with 32nd notes, I had to count in subdivisions. Sophmores have to do the samething but with 2 lines that they have to tap with either hand

Haha, OK man.

drum talk- I suck horribly at drums, but I think I'm startin' to get the hang of it...

[QUOTE=blue3]My friend got one recently. I learned the basic beats when I came over and he still can't play it.[/QUOTE]
See that's how my friend is. The first day he got the drumkit set up, he was doing beats, he claims to have never played drums till the day he got his, but I think he's lying.

Ah, that would be a hard class for me. Kudos to you if you understand that stuff.

I can play basic beats, and i dont own a drum set. dividing and subdividing is where i have problems.

I guess it's that I just plain suck at drums. But oh well. I'm happy with having just a guitar.

EDIT - Well when I go to college, I might have to try a class.

Its college course, Im a music major, but they start off basic and build off of that

you have to take an entrance exam to be in college muic theory.

I suggest taking theory in high school, it will help with your playing and help with college if you plan to be a music major.

I just watched this drum lesson DVD thing while I played.

I'm happy with having a guitar too. It would be cool to own a bass though..

You just have to line up the subdivisions evenly. Of course I couldn't show you over the internet.

I love drums.

I don't give a sh[SIZE="2"]i[/SIZE]t, I'll say aboot if I want, eh. I see brits on here sayin' y'all so therefore logic demands an equillibrium in the balance of the regional diatribes!

OK, seriously, I'm off to bed.
