I've been without a band for going on 9 months now, longest stretch in years. I'm picky about who I play with and it's really hard sometimes finding the right mix of personalities and musicianship. I'm working with a St. Louis area singer/songwriter on putting something together, but we haven't found the right guitarist yet.

hope that works out bill, *uses all mind power to force good guitarist to bill*

Me too! We (the singer, bass player and I) jammed last weekend with a really good player (and nice guy too). It went really well and he picked up the originals quickly. I'm just not sure if he's able to make the commitment. It's still up in the air.

[QUOTE=Brendan]^^ Type in paragraphs next time, that way the person whos reading it feels like they are getting some where.


Don't even bother with arguements like that. That is like the story of every single stereo typical greasy teenage music freak in America and more devloped parts of the world.

You have to take a Jewish appraoch to these things and just realize not everyone is going to like your opinions so stop trying to make people like them and keep to yourself. Just laugh at them cause their music sucks to you and leave them alone unless they instigate.


Ska is good stuff though, its good to see atleast one other person on mxdp likes it. You ever heard of the Skoidats? They have a pretty good drummer for a ska band too.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the advice man. I will type in paragraphs next time. And I should know better to even argue with those people about music and stuff, you never get anywhere.

I never have heard of the skoidats, I'll have to look them up. If you've never heard of streetlight you have to hear them, there drummer is awesome. Another band that I started to get into more is Big D and the Kids Table, I like their style, plus they remind me of one of our local ska bands.

that sounds like a sweet deal bill, i cant stand people who cant commit to anything, doesnt even have to be the band, just anything in general, if i cant trust them outside the band i cant trust them in it..lol

i am the same way, i told my freind i was going to help him work on the chasis of his car saturday at 10 in the morning.

im there and its 10:00 he isnt there. So i waited alittle longer by 10:20 i was pissed (short temper) i called him up and said "where are you"? he said, "at my house". i said "well why the *fill in with four letter word* did you tell me to be here, when your an *azzhole* and dont have the commonm courtesy to call, you know what man? you are a piece of *fill in with a four letter word*" then i hung up on him.

stuff like that will really [B]pis[/B]s me off...

^I agree. I have a small amount of patience for things like that. If you say you're going to do something at some time, do it, and at the time you said.. It happens with my friends alot, and it bugs me.

faith=1 im the same way. I hate it when people do that and it pisses me off because i always try to get everywhere on time when i tell poeple im going to meet them somewhere but tehy are never the same.


billdrum- what kind of stuff are oyu playing with the band?

im like that with everything except for school..but thats because im bad with buses

<i missed another set of buses today>

^haha, yeah. The bus sucks.

[QUOTE=poppinfresh]billdrum- what kind of stuff are oyu playing with the band?[/QUOTE]

The stuff he writes is very Eagles/Poco influenced, kind of light rock I guess. He's got about 12 originals that we've learned and more on the way. He's pretty serious, has an agent in Nashville pushing his songs with major artists. We're looking to play in the Missouri/Illinois/Iowa areas adding some covers in to fill out the sets.

I like the Eagles. Hotel California (but of course) is one of my all time favourites.

well i just bought a keyboard for $50, i was amazed to find a decent one for under $100 at a pawn shop. this one has more than i even wanted for a keyboard. now i can start practicing piano without waiting for everyone else to leave the house and cutting into my drumming time. now i can plug in at night, turn the volume down (or even use earphones) and it's got like 50 drum beats to play along with.

and my friend bought some drums too, which is cool.

I want to learn piano really bad. It's such a useful instrument to know. I was considering picking up a keyboard at a pawn shop as well, but I couldn't find anything decent.

bill, whats poco?im curious cuz where i live is called poco
lol

short for port coquitlam for anybody whos curious

Poco was around in the 70's mostly I think. One or two members of the Eagles came out of that band. They had a couple of hits, but were largely under the radar.

[QUOTE=billdrum]Surely we've got some paintballers here! I just got my notice of our Fall "war" this October-two teams of 35-40 people each, daylong event with 5 different war games on 90 wooded acres (and we use all of it!). We do this every Spring and Fall.[/QUOTE]


Wooo, yeah! It ranks up there with drumming, when I am actually able to go though.

I missed my fields scenario this year. I was at the lsat two, they're so halairous and fun.

I would consider myself more of a tournament player though.

Hey guys...

Someone got banned becuase there friend is an idiot and he cant make a new name becuase it gets messed up. He wants his old name Trilobite unbanned and his name D41LYBR34Dm4n removed. He didnt do anything bad and I think that he should be unbanned not that I know much about him.

Jim's not here so can someone help this guy out??

I think he posted gay hardcore [FONT=]po[/FONT]rn actually.

Cool Plan B. I knew we had to have some more P-ballers here. Ever do the British March Of Death?

MK, why did this guy get banned?

He said "i got banned because my friend logged on and posted lemon party."

If you mean "Civil War", then yes!

You haven't played paintball until you've had a Civil War.

Two teams face off 100 feet apart, each person gets one paintball in their gun. At the signal, everyone fires their one paintball. You can turn or duck, but you can't move from your position. Anyone hit is out. Move 25 feet closer, same process. Then 25 feet closer, repeat, etc. until one team is eliminated. Pretty scary when you get close in! That's our British March Of Death.

Haha yeah!

We only do it with teams of like 10 each though.

[QUOTE=styler].
our vocalist is a ferrety type of person...he constantly has to be looking through my stuff..moving something..playing with something....band is constantly f-ing around on my drums when i tell them not too..they constantly tell me how to drum to songs i made from scratch..they constantly start playing bass or guitar whenever i try to talk..or drums if im not constantly on them, and when they do hear me they completely blow it off, vocalist annoys me, bassist is too outgoing and has that "im better than you" type of thing going on..and i can live with the guitarist, hes a good guy[/QUOTE]


Dude that's like the same thing with my band. Our singer/ guitarist is a douche and never wants to jam. He can't sit still and always want to play drums. And instead of telling us that he is unhappy with the band, which i'm sure of, he just says ya sure fine and agrees with us but he doesn't do it all to convincingly.
My bassist is cool and I always hang out with him so he's cool and nothings wrong wit him.
My other guitarist is a cool guy too. At times he can be annoying cause he doesn't agree with you when you get into an argument and we both know he is wrong. He just digs a deeper hole and then when he has been proved wrong he just goes eh w/e who knows, or somthing along those lines. I don't really mind that but the one thing that pisses me off so much is that I say not to play my drums and he goes I know I know I won't, then goes into my room and starts playing. Like wtf dude I just said not too and then he tries to make up some reason why it doesn't matter if he plays but that never works to well. The only thing bad about him is that he doesn't respect my stuff, most of the time that is. Which is very annoying. I don't really have a problem with him though because we have been friends for a really long time and we have started to jam, well when we do, at the bassist house who got a really crappy set.

So how was everyones day? Mine was boring as hell, we didn't do anything in anyclass and tomorrow is going to be the same thing.

My day was pretty good. My schedule is as follows:
Drama, Film Studies, Biology, English.
It's pretty easy. Bio is kinda tough though...only because the teachers a mess. She just doesn't seem to know her stuff very well...and we kinda got thrown into the material too quickly. Probably won't be so bad as we get further into the year though.

^ Cool, my schedual for tomorrow is french, science, band, socials in some order close to that.

Film Studies that sounds interesting.

I know if I woulda went to college it woulda been for film FOR sure.

I wish I could have fit band in. I'm grade eleven right now, and the way they schedule band at my school is absolutely retarded. I won't even attempt to explain it.

Film studies is pretty intersting, Jim. The same guy that teaches my drama class teaches that class. It's basically the study of means of expressing ideas through film (obviously), including picture and sound. So far it's pretty cool; can't complain about a class where I get to watch movies! We're watching Raiders of the Lost Arc right now. :thumb:

Yo jimmy, do you know how the banners got up at the top of threads? They are really annoying, you think you could somehow get em down?

Hey, just for fun, and because I'm bored, tell me some stuff about yourself, rockindrummer.
What music do you play? How long have you been drumming?

[QUOTE=Massik Kretal]He said "i got banned because my friend logged on and posted lemon party."[/QUOTE]
Haha oldest trick in the book.

well, my band plays modern rock I guess it would be. We are starting to play some stuff like apc, that type of genre. I've been drumming for just under 3 years now, I guess it would be. I havn't really taken it as seriously as I should have though so I am pretty pissed about that.

Anyway I gotta go, da[size=2]m[/size]n school tomorrow :angry: Talk to ya guys later.

its official, im out of the band.

there picking up there amp pedals cords etc tomorow after my drum lesson..bassist got really mad at put the guitarist in a bad mood...i jus deleted all three band members off my msn..theyll never talk to me again anyway..oh well..blood's thicker than water right? ill finally get my technique back finally...woot!

Goodnight RD.

It's never really fun to leave on bitter terms, styler, but if that's how it goes, then that's how it goes. I'd say try to keep in touch with the guitar player if hes a good guy. Your band doesn't HAVE to sacrifice your technique. It's always fun and good for your drumming to have some people to jam with.

yeah i completely agree, but they made me do things i cant do clean or properly, so i got into the habit of playing like that...either way, night mx, i got school in the morning

I'm might as well be off to bed, too. 'Night.

Well, last night must have been quite a sight;

I was sitting in a room, doing something on a computer, when Someone came in and then went away again. I, now being distracted, looked up to the ceiling and saw 5 HUGE scary bugs. I procedded to jump up and grab a towel to squish them with. This method proved ineffective, as when I was hitting them, they were just being stunned and lying, as if dead, on the floor. Then if I went back to prod them, thould would get up and resume their scaryness.
Then I got a broom that I had used during one of the bands' shows and rounded two of the out of the door.
I had no other option left, than to kill the remainding three, and then went to bed.
----
This morning I came back into the room, and saw another one flying around everywhere.

I looked so silly, crouched in a corner fighting off these insects with a broom....

[I]D[/I]amn... I hate bugs.
