And I think there is even a line on thrashing their own gear, when it comes to thrashing your own gear intentionally to try and pretend your a rock legend or whatever.

Hennyway, i'm starting a quartet with the lovely Charlotte Reid. I'm currently busy arranging swing(ish) versions of my favourite rock songs. Should be fun. I've got down most of Prodigal by Porcupine Tree and The Hole in Me by Blackfield.
I have a whole load of songs I want to do, aswell as the more traditional stuff like In the Wee Hours of the Morning, The Lady is a Tramp, All of Me, Someone to Watch Over Me, In the Wee Small Hours of The Morning ect ect..

I was thinking last night that it would be awesome to create swing versions of Brena by A Perfect Circle and Reflection by Tool.

:cool:

That crash looks so close to where his head would be. Was he using his head to hit it?

Mornin all. Last nite I went to see Electric Eel Shock and I have to say they rocked. and I have to work for 10.30 and I still aint been to bed yet so i'm gonna be knackered lol.

[quote=opethdw;13694230]I don't want to make a new thread for this question, so I'll just post it here. I've been working on my pad for hours on end everyday, and I've been advancing pretty well. My question is, when you start doing rolls at a fast speed (double/triple stroke rolls), do you stop wristing each hit out and start using 1 motion for 2 hits? Like... using the rebound for all the hits instead of wrist at the faster speeds? I hope I explained this well enough, and thanks to anyone who helps me out.[/quote]

Yes, technically speaking it's all single strokes if you are using a wrist motion for each stroke, you are simply using a different stick RRLL, etc

A double stroke is 2 notes in for 1 stroke, triplet stroke would be 3 notes for 1 stroke, etc

You must learn rebound control (this is the essence of our drumming) in order to play any type of closed roll, or even moderate open rolls.


As you advance more, you will find the motions become more fluid like and smooth of course.

Thanks alot for the help man. I've been able to get my double stroke roll pretty consistent over the past few days, now that I know I'm doing it correctly, I'll add it to my practice regiment. Thanks again.

Whoa, I don't know about you but I sit behind my snare, not on it ;)

morning mx!

Just woke up, and no hangover!! yay! First saturday morning in a long time without that one!

You alco, Dave. :p

:D I'm no alco!

It was a wise choise not to drink too much yesterday. Just had a few beers with my mates at the bar. Now I feel so happy! I guess I could get wasted tonight....hmmm...mabey not

That's good man! Havin a few beers and chillin out is all you need. I'm not a big fan of the whole getting trashed idea. Just have a few, watch the footy, chill with mates and yeah, provides for a great night.

totally!

im very up for the getting trashed, but im cutting down

half bottle a weekend instead of a litre bottle

EDIT: dumb things i heard today:

"AHEADS keep cymbals clean"
"the only zildjians worth buying are z customs"
"i have these old shitty hihats, New beats or something"
"my drum kit is really old and nasty, 60s premier"
"o-rings are awesome for playing live"
"aheads cant break cymbals, theyre hollow"

this poor guy is going to BIMM next year, which is a 20 grand plus a year college for music

Dumb thing I heard on the TV today:

"We'll show you how to save money by saving water!"

...well of course you're going to save money if you save water, you idiots.

I guess people will be more inclined to save water if they know they're saving money. Especially with a potential 10x increase in price here in WA.

Yay, just recorded a drum track for our bands new album...now Im gonna go back to the studio and drink beer that i bought today. Yummy

So my cousin sent me Reason.

And i have no idea how to use it. For those of you who don't know what reason is, look here:
[url]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/fbb_maniac/reason.gif[/url]

I'm guessing i need some sort of midi keyboard/input to use it, or am i wrong.

gah, this is so confuzzling!

anyone know anything about reason?

And inkstar, europeans are allowed to drink lots. It's our way of life! I'm in support of not getting trashed though. I'll drink a few beers or something to socialise, but the whole getting trashed thing, whats the point?

You do.
I think if you use the Quantize notes button. That you can put them in like from the computer like you do on FL Studio.

But I think it is most easily done with a MIDI Keyboard.
Reason has a tutorial on their website. Try it out.

I can't give you a link. But go to Propellerhead.se or whatever reasons site is.
And click Reason on the side bar, on the left. Just reason, not the other versions of Reason.
Than click Download Reason
And than theres a guy with a green and orange shirt and a headset. And it says new to reason?
And just download the little video traielr they have, and that's how I learned.
It's very informative.

And I think theres some info manual too down at the bottom.
But I didn't use that.

Omg went to see Tool last night in Manchester, it was ****ing amazing Danny Carey is a God!

dave, get over the fact youre legally allowed to drink

on a related note, im 16, in france legal age to buy drink is 16, but in UK its 18. if i go on holiday to france, can i drink??

Yeah. You should./Can.

Okay so...

I have a Creative Zen Micro Photo. I was riding my bike while listening to music and fell and landed on the MP3 player. The screen cracked and the thing still turns on but i cant navigate the menu to see if the music still plays...suggestions?

Do you have warrenty?

Bring it back...

[QUOTE=Bonham#1!;13691422]Man we have no snow. So uncomon for Canada, and it saddens me. Damn you global warming[/QUOTE]

Wtf.

No snow in Canadia?

It better start snowing like HELL, we're going to Vancouver for Christmas and last year was damnably disappointing...who wants to go snowboarding in the rain and slush?

Depends on where you live. We don't get much snow here and it usually doesn't happen until after the new year.

Creative won't replace it because it was your fault. Unless another road user caused you to fall, or a faulty part on the bike which wasn't caused by you caused you to fall.

But give it a shot anyway if you've stilled got warrenty

Well it very well may be snowing in Vancouver, just not in Kitchener, thats right nobodys heard of kitchener.

It doesn't snow much in Vancouver, it just rains. The west coast is too warm for real winter weather unless you go inland.
