I tried to start a ska band, and we couldn't find a drummer. I still want to complete this band, because we had an awesome name. The Skazis. We were going to be really multi-racial for the irony++ points.

[QUOTE=(r)evolution]my band can't find a drummer if our lives depended on it. The only drummer I know is a huge casualties fan and yells "oi, oi, oi" every fifteen seconds. I envy you.[/QUOTE]

:lol:

I like this guy.

Will you have some sort of Middle-Eastern in this band?

[QUOTE=J_McMeaty]Will you have some sort of Middle-Eastern in this band?[/QUOTE]

We would try. Or I could count, since I have middle eastern blood, but I'm white, so it's not as fun.

And by "really multi-racial" do you mean overly stereotypical?

[QUOTE=SkaBandit]:lol:

thank'ye, you and your ska related threads 'n such are also likeable.

[QUOTE=J_McMeaty]And by "really multi-racial" do you mean overly stereotypical?[/QUOTE]

They wouldn't have to be preformign stereotypes, just be not a bunch of white guys. Be some white, some black, some brown, some women, etc. They don't have to fit their nationalities stereotype or anything. But that would make for an intresting stage prescence.

I also worked on inviting a dance to our music, called the Skazi Skank, which involves Nazi salutes incorporated into skanking.

In the spirit of back to school-itude, I made up a joke today.

What's the difference between communism and erasable pens?



























Communism looks good on paper.

Lolz

Stop complaing you fags, I've been back in school sinc August 18th.

I feel sorry for all you HS kids though, HS sucks so bad.

the only way to find a good drummer is to become one, I quit bass to learn drums for my band, coz we found a bass player who is way better than I was anyway.

Hahaha, sounds like you were ousted.

yeah kinda. I'm still in the band and I enjoy drums more than bass. I volunteered to be demoted to drums, because the new guy Jason's bass skills piss all over mine and im not going to be a totall wanker and make the band sucky becuase I have an ego problem.

At least you have a good attitude about it.

I play bass and I'd like to play drums too...Luckily I totally pwn at bass skills so I don't have any urgency.

Nice and modest Albertron. Bass is way easy.

Technically, yes, but if you want it to sound good it's pretty hard to invent an awesome riff.

[QUOTE=TakeWarning]Technically, yes, but if you want it to sound good it's pretty hard to invent an awesome riff.[/QUOTE]

That's completely wrong. It's just as hard on a guitar and if you create one on a guitar you can just transfer it to bass and vice versa.

School Omg

Well I kick *** at guitar too.

It's just that I fookin rule on bass, unlike most of the people I know, except my teacher.

Albert Do you use proper fingering?

I use pick. That's the only thing I lack :upset:

I can't play fingerstyle fast enough if that's what you mean.

^^^ same with me, with the stuff i play in my band, and the stuff i choose to learn at home on the most part is way too fast for my fingers, and i've got pretty speedy with one o' them plectrum devices. i can still finger perfectly well, and normally finger our more reggae-ish songs, slower songs, and stuff where each note is on a different string if you get me (like ratm - bombtrack).

Pretty much like me. I play slow, mid-tempo songs well with fingers (see rhcp - walkabout) but to play fast things like let's say Streetilight Manifesto, I need pick.

I mean like for your figners you use on the fretboard do you use all of them to move around? or do you have a couple fingers of choice? I find it awkward to use all fingers, I try though.

sublime - santeria is a well good fun song to play with your fingers.

[QUOTE=lynch_me]I mean like for your figners you use on the fretboard do you use all of them to move around? or do you have a couple fingers of choice? I find it awkward to use all fingers, I try though.[/QUOTE]

i predominantly use my index, middle and ring finger, i can use my little finger but i **** it up fairly often because the little bastard aint strong enough yet. and the two normal (index and middle) fingers for fingering, unless i'm doing triplets which needs the ring finger aswell.
