Ok so here's the plan. Tomorrow i'm going to go down to L&M to pick up some heads and a splash. I was thinking that since i'm going to be buying 4 new heads, a splash, and a cymbal grabber I could probally get some sort of deal. How do you guys think would the best way of going about this?

[QUOTE]i need good funk basslines to play along to
any recommendations?[/QUOTE] Victor wooten, Basically all his stuff is fun to play too. Porcupine tree "Halo" has a wierd semi funky bass line.

[QUOTE=Loyton]Speaking of wounds, i have a nasty sumin on the back of my leg calf that looks like a recluse bite. I dont think it is its just annoying. I have to drain it each night. :wave:[/QUOTE]

man, that was just nasty. his hand was like, ripped open. arent recluses the most poisionous spiders in america or something like that. i saw that a few months ago, it made me more afraid of spiders than i already was. i wasnt afraid of them till i saw the movie aracniphobia(sp). i dont really know why a movie did that to me, but it did.

Yeah man, I saw that movie. When I was little, I was already afraid of them, but I think that had a real effect on my developing mind.

anyone? I guess it isn't that important but i'd still like someone to help.

figure out the price before you go in and tell them that you have maby ten bucks less than what it costs. Usually works at guitar center and this one drum shop i go to.

[QUOTE]is there a drum track playing in the background or is it an instrumental that i can fill in?[/QUOTE] Well there is drumming in most of wootens stuff, but im sure you could find a midi file and take out the drumming.

ask them if you can set up a tab or if they can suspend your purchace (we do it at the grocery store i work at. basically they print a recipt that has a barcode with everything you bought on it and you go back when you have the money and finish paying it.)

^ The thing is I have the money, well it depends on which splash I get. I just want to mayb save a bit so I can just have a bit of money left over. Or maybe a pair of sticks or what ever.

I've also bought all my cymbals from them so they have my name and # with a list of like 7 cymbals that i've boughten.

yeah i understand what its like im always saving up. but try what i said just total it up but dont make it suspicious and go oh wait i think i have a few more dollars if you go a bit low, go for a solid number, like 35 or seomthing.

deffentally save up.

heres something to rack your brains:

is this a question?

[QUOTE=Double Bass Jim]The real question is will the new peart dvd come out on time.[/QUOTE]

EDIT:jim, go to the wishlist thread and give me an answer if you could.

[QUOTE]faith, is that the cuban band that swam over or is it your progressive one. I kind of want to see pics of the cuban one.[/QUOTE] :lol: they didnt swim over haha. I still play with them as well, But the band I started is a progresssive rock band.

brown recluse...ugh

yesterday I either stomped on a Wolf spider or a Brown Recluse, I didn't get a good look.

I was lifting a vent out of the floor to run a cable down into the basement, and I look up and from underneath the door a spider trots over and sits a few inches from where my hand was moments ago. STOMP! down the vent.

Gross.


Ok, since Lickety posted that MKII pics last page, here's an update on my busted MKIII...
it's busted.

Well the tape part doesn't work anymore.

But I found (yes, FOUND! on the curb, nothing wrong and it runs!!) a P2 computer, and hooked it up in the basement.
Now using the MKIII simply as a mixer and Audacity acting to record, our recording problems are solved!
:D
yay!


Oh yeah, badass news for my band.
I got an email yesterday asking if we wanted to play with Embrace Today, so of course I said "**** YEAH!"
*Embrace Today = well, [url]http://www.myspace.com/embracetoday[/url] they're pretty big in the metal/hardcore scene*

So now we have a show on October 6th (7 days) and December 3rd, need more in october or november now.

I got Finale notepad and all the drums are latin percussion instruments. Even when I do only one line of bass drum I have the choice of a bunch of latin instruments. This sucks.

Ugh I know, I hate that about finale notepad! But actually, the drumset sounds are waaay down below the staff line. I hate how its like that.

so wrathchild, who voted YOU the hottest drummer?

Oh...dammit I uninstalled it already uninstalled it. Do you think finale 2006 has the same thing?

well at least i have the biggest weiner, thats all that matters.

Haha it was just kind of a joke spawned from this thread:

I'm too uncreative to think of a new usertitle.

So today a super awesome thing happened....

My school is getting a $10 000 grant for our band program!!!

Our band teacher has some major plans for the percussion section. We're gonna get our timpani fixed, buy a gong, rehead ALL the drums, and maybe buy CHIMES!!! I'm so psyched, I love chimes! And also, we're gonna get new cymbals for the set, and I might be able to buy the old ones for cheap. A 20'' A zildjian medium ride, 16'' A zildjian medium crash, and 14'' A custom hats! I'm super excited about all this, I can't wait!

Cool. I remember when my band teacher got 1000 bucks to spend just for the drums. He went straight to me and told me what to get.

Ah K hi hats. :)

Awesome. I'm hoping we'll be getting some K customs, but I doubt my teacher wants to spend that much on cymbals:(

The band department at my school just got a new yamaha set last year. It is pretty sweet, yamaha maple custom. The cymbals suck so much though, B8 hats and crash they got a hhx groove ride which is nice but I don't particularly like it. It is like all wash and there is no real stick definition, which is what I love in a ride, and also the bell isn't very defined either which I also love in a ride. It sounds like a 19"ish crash, eventhough it is 21"

Wow slow night in the stronghold tonight. Well i'm off talk to ya guys tomorrow night. New splash and heads tomorrow wooooo, unless I don't find one I like tomorrow then no splash.

Our school had some nice cymbals for band I rememeber, I think they used all zildjians nice A's and K's.

my school ( i wasnt in band by the way i just always looked at the stuff) has a few sabian HH cymbals.

I was fine looking at the wound and stuff.
But that spider. Ewewewewewewew...

That's why I like [I]tiny[/I] spiders, instead of freakin' huge ones, with long legs.
