Yes, great band. Their sound is really... epic.

I love having them on in the background if I'm doing work or something.

For you, no. You already have decided for yourself.

I have a problem. One of the tension rods on my refinsihed snare keeps loosening after I play. How do I fix this?

its prolly your hoops, they either got done wrong when you redid them (not sure if you got new hoops are not) or the screws are loose, or your shell got warped, i believe those are the main reasons..lol

Hey guys, I got the new Modern Drummer!

Is it the one directly near a rimshot area? That's a common occurence if so.

Nylon washers should elminate that problem for the most part.

Yeah it's where I rimshot. I'd look into the washers.

is it the one with ringo starr?or is there a new one?

Yup, Ringo's the latest...

i thought that magazine was actually one of the better magazines, there all good but i thought it was better

Wicked, I'm excited. I've only just started it.

Well if it has Ringo I might buy it off the shelf.

I'm too poor to afford subscriptions, though if I could I would.

hey styler can you beat this price

the rest of the mapex stuff is on sale too between 20-30 bucks for top of the line stuff.

to the whole drug thing, definately don't take anything until you are 100% ready to take it. without ever having more than a little buzz off of marijuana (while sober) and taking mushrooms, i was completely unprepared for the feeling that mushrooms brought on. for about 3 hours, i had almost no control over myself, and the comedown was terrible. it freaked me out so bad. i had the misconception that mush would be like pot, just stronger. man i was wrong. i'm just glad my parents were gone for that weekend, and that i did them in my own house, or i would have been totally f'ucked.

anyways... i've been cutting back on my eating alot lately, i usually just eat a half bowl of cereal in the morning, a sandwich (on "carb counting" bread) for lunch, and usually a sandwich again for supper. occasionally i'll have a little bit of whatever my mom's cooking, but i'm usually not home for supper anyways. other than that, i'm just drinking water and chewing gum. i find that if i'm chewing gum, i don't have the desire to eat until i'm actually hungry, which is good because i used to eat when i was bored all the time.

Yea im down to one meal a day thats it, I eat one time and then im done. Once in a great while i'll have a snack or somthin. It's pretty easy to do once ya get used to it.

yet you have like 15 cups of coffee a day jim how does that work?lol, and nah, not for that quality poppinfresh, the stands im getting are really bad quality :lol:

Haha hey it works man, get hungry? Start a brewin' :lol:

I'm trying to cut back too, but I have blood sugar problems.

I usually try and stay away from meals, its healthier to spread your food intake across the whole day though, as long as its possible to do so.

is it bad if i'm only getting a fraction of the whole "2000 calories a day" ? in an average day, i'll only get about 5-600 calories, i'm just worried since calories are used for energy, will this affect me in any bad ways?

well i was supposed to work tomorrow, but i'm not so sure i am anymore. last weekend, my dad offered me $200 cash to work this weekend doing inventory and such. but i haven't talked to him since tuesday, so i don't know if he'll remember to take me into work with him tomorrow. oh well. i could go for some rest anyways.

question: would you guys rather work at a place like tim horton's... OR... at a movie rental store? these are the jobs i've narrowed myself down to applying at, but it's kind of like the lesser of 2 evils here.

Dude, how can you eat only 600 calories a day? And, BTW, a 2000 calorie diet is for people who are trying to lose weight- a typical diet is 2500 calories.

I probably eat like 3000, and I'm lovin every minute of it!

That's really not possible to only intake 600 calories a day.

Most people are morons when it comes to food though.


"Calories" really means nothing. You could eat 1,500 calories of great food wich would give you far more energy then 3,000 calories of crap food (IE Double Western Bacon Cheese Burger or starbucks frap)

I try and eat near 5k a day, but I'm growing like a weed and lift a lot. That's a very heavy protein diet as well. Lots of fruits too! And tuna.. love tuna. Also got my multi-vit's and my "mud", wich is protein/oat's mix.

[QUOTE=Sam Bredeson]Dude, how can you eat only 600 calories a day?[/QUOTE]
well i'm trying to catch my weight before i get to the point where i'd call myself "fat". so if i'm hungry, i'll have a sandwich with cheese, lettuce, and a tiny bit of meat instead of putting some pizza pops in the microwave or something. and instead of juice and pop, i'll just drink water all day.

and it is possible for me to intake 600 a day.

a cup and a half of rice krispies is something like 110 calories, and the slices of bread i eat sandwiches on are 70 each.

so that's 110 in the morning, then the rest of the day is 280 + a little bit of cheese, and 2 thin slices of ham.

It's all about the willpower man, you don't need to eat that much in one day. I can sit around and slam down 10 cheesburgers like no one else but thats just not good. Gotta watch what your eating.

You do realize that by not eating your body will actually store more fat then if you ate more?


Your body goes "I'm not getting enough to eat, this isn't good. I don't know when I'll get more. I should store up what I have and try and hold on to it."

Eat a healthy, well balanced diet and excerise. You'll be just fine. Want to look like a star? Well eat very healthy, a lot, work out a lot.

People seem to think it's a 1 facet thing though. It's 2 facets. Diet AND excerise.

You can eat a ton, and run a lot.. you'll be lean. Eat a ton, sit around a lot. You'll be fat.

Eat a nice amount, workout a lil bit. You'll be normal.... actually no, you'll be better then normal cause so many people are fat now.


Of course.. you will always be limited and fighting against your genetics. If you are dutch, don't ever expect to be able to keep a tan.. ya dig?


I won't ever look like arnold, but I got a goal in mind that I think is good.

ya if you want to lose weight eat a half a meal every 2 hours or so. the more often you eat the more likely you can burn fat. :thumb:

so what would you recommend i eat? i know to stay away from fast foods and everything.

what to stay away from? carbs? calories? something else? there's millions of diets out there, each saying to stay away from a different thing, and my mom's tried almost all of them, but she hasn't seen any major results.

and what would be the best workout routine? unfortunately i don't have much at my house (a bike and a one-person trampoline) and it's starting to get cold out here. would you still recommend jogging? how long each day?

(as you can tell, i've never really put myself on a diet, and i work out when i can, but i've never really set a schedule for myself in order to get results)

There is no "likely", it's down to a science of exactness at this point.


sic, just eat normal healthy foods. Have that sandwich, put some meat on it. Some lettace.. etc

By the way, it's not a diet.. it's a lifestyle. It's your everyday eating and movement habits.

When you go somewhere, park your car in the back of the lot so you have to walk a lil bit. Take a walk around the block, maybe just run around it a few times.

It's not too hard really, stay away from very fatty foods, candy, etc.. trim the fat off your steak, chicken.. have some nice brown or mixed rice.

For breakfest I like a bowl of cereal, with maybe 75cc's of plain oats, half/cup of frosted flakes (i know I have a weakness for them), somes trawberries or other fresh fruit. Maybe I'll have an apple or a can of peaches. I'll have a glass of water and a glass of OJ (both 32oz), take my mutli-vit and a few other things.

Of course, I load up on food. But healthy eating is fairly easy and it's CHEAPER then eating fast food!!

I'd recomend checking out the bodybuilding.com forums, there is a TON of nutritional information, meal plans, etc etc on there.

Carbs are underrated. Atkins is an idiot. I love my Carbs (breads, rolls, waffles, muffins, etc.) i probably have more carbs than anything else.

On that note, instead of cutting back one thing (like nowadays its carbs, 10 years ago it was fats) cut back EVERYTHING in balance. Your body needs a certain balance of nutrients to stay healthy. Having low carb intake is not good no matter what.

Well today was awsome. A friday which ment short day at school and I got to go down to L&M after school. I picked up some new heads, coated emps for batters and clear amb for resos. I also got a 10" K splash. I love this thing it fits in really nicely with my other cymbals and is really fun to play around with and accent on every once and a while.

Dammit you make it sound like a normal day! You rich bastard!


So yeah, last night I went clubbing. Now im hungover.
