I agree, another opportunity is sure to come up also. But enjoy what you do don't try to be in it for money or anything.

Money is just a kick *** bonus. I havn't got into that yet.. Right now I just got into a new band and im trying to get them to practice seriously. They like the idea of a serious band, but they aren't commiting to it :(


Also about that audition.. Some bands aren't always looking for the best they can get. Also has to do with their impression of you and such. Cause finding people you can get along with and such all the time can be hard. My last band was a good example of musicians clashing. It was a war...and i won because drummers have more objects :P lhaha nah

i personally join a band cuz i want the money that comes out of it, i drum for the fun of it, being in a band is my way of making what i love my career, to me its a bonus doing that with friends...i guess im just messed up

Oh yes :cool:

Oh man. Your not seriously going for that 22" crash are you!?

Eventually yes :) Im getting my main ones sorted first, all i need is my AAX 20" Stage crash first :)

Dude a 22" Crash, Thats tank...20" Stages are Loud but AWSOME!

I have been using my 20 inch full ride as a crash more than a ride <SHRUG>

Ive been tryin to crash on a heavy 22" ride and its not happening :upset: 22" Crash ahoy

Im getting my second tatto soon. I want something on my left forearm. Not sure yet, I am a fan of abstract art and triip photography, but it is fairly hard to find something that would look good on a forearm.

[QUOTE=Half Life]Are you saying you automatically don't like a band if they make a video? That's kind of ridiculous man. I hate people that think like that or think that a band is selling out if they make a video. It's practically required for almost any band nowadays to make a video, so don't hold that against them.[/QUOTE]

No, I just dont like bands who sell out, I mean it just shows that they just want to be known, and its not about the music

[QUOTE]It is becoming more and more common for bands to release a DVD and many are doing it, its another way to get our money [/QUOTE]Yeah like tool

Tool finally has there DVD coming out of the Schism and Parobola videos. There is also special footage, But I doubt I will get it. Why? Because those videos are so easily accesible, Now if they were to release a live DVD, I would have to snatch that thing up in a heart beat.

^^ Like Lamb of God - Killadelphia. Live dvd's are the best.

i have that 20" AAX Stage crash
BEAST that thing is

if its all about the music why dont they just stay in there garages and play?

selling out is just another way of saying "hey, this band got popular, other people like them now too, **** i dont like them anymore, screw this."

dont make a song, technically that would be selling out, as soon as someone hears you music that is selling out...an actual band that sold out would be kiss, there the only real band thats ever sold out that i can think of.


lol your crazy drum phil, i can understand the double pedal cowbell, and i can understand the awkward setup...but damn man, a 22" crash...thats just crossin the line..:P

i can't stand the whole "sellout" argument. 95% of the time, it's a 14 year old kid who listens to poppy music, and loves the cd until the band makes a video. at this point, the kid hates the band, only because now he knows that this band is being listened to by more than himself. it's always the kid that thinks his favorite band, which usually happens to be on a worldwide tour, is "underground". the kid thinks that the band owes him something, for one reason or another. he thinks the band must consult him with every decision they make.

once someone touring the world (or atleast a continent or two) in a small bus is able to move up to a bigger bus, maybe with showers and a bathroom, and are able to eat every day, they've automatically sold out. because we all know, the point of spending money to record your cd, spending money on advertising, going on tour for months on end, the whole point of all of that is to repeat the same record 50 times over and to never accept any money once you've broken even.

one of my friends even argued that bands that play concerts in large arenas sell out because they "don't need all the money, but they take it anyways". then he started rambling on about he'd rather play for 10 people who really really liked his band instead of 10,000 that kind of liked it. he then continued to say that he determined a band selling out once their t-shirts cost alot.

ignorance. aaaah.

well anyways, i've burned 5 cd's already today, and i'm about to burn a few more.

and i'm finally starting to get good work hours. this week i'm working sunday tuesday thursday, then next week it'll be sunday and 3 weekdays. can't wait for the money to roll on in.

Damn them for making money doing what they love! Bastards!

god damn I wish I can make money from what I love

I took a nap, and woke up with my pillow stuffed between my legs slightly moist.
I can't recall having any dream, and I'm a little worried I was molested and put on tape....

tell him to start doing his job and not accept money for it. we'll see how enthusatic he is about that one.

Kids won't understand until it's time to get a real job and you can't live with the parents anymore lol.

This is quite a rhetorical question, but why does GuitarCenter Suck so much? I went to pick up a pair of sticks (got sick of my year old splintered ones, finally)

I asked to try out the Vic Firth Jazz and some Vaters. I am immediatly given random-brand bulk sticks. Horrible, heavy, and repulsive. I just sort of nudge them back. Then, once I decide on the VF, they decide to try and sell me a bulk pack of vaters.

They have one good employee in the drum section, and he was out sick.

Also, British Boy, how do you like BigDog stuff? I noticed you had that as your avatar for a bit. They intrigue me.

^^
I love it. Really is top quality stuff. Can't go wrong.

Now the trouble is getting it here in the states. I'd like to get a hat stand and a single pedal.

*looks around*

Hey....i'm back :wave:

I kinda recently got like that to. I used to be like lets play songs OMG make more songs. Then we played at the moon festival. and now i dont really care anymore. I have way more fun just jamming and improving with like a keyboard or a guitar. Thats way better than anything a band can give me except for a neverending line of hot babes you cant get that sitting in a garage.

psh

*having a ****ty night.

Hey b_j.

:cool:

Wow mx was super slow yesterday, so slow I didn't even want to wait for it to load. Did that happen to anyone else?

Yeah I've been noticing that for like the past week.

Yeah, it was really slow for me too.

its been really slow for me basically since the forum update. every now and then it will go fast(like today) but its been timing out a lot.

[QUOTE=Seafroggys]yeah I was wondering where you were....

ahh here and there

basically my life is kinda hectic...what with working from 4~11 or 12...and then coming home and just playing games all night.

blahh...but i'm back for now...hope to get some new pics up soon...mainly showcasing my 16" China, and new 14x6.5 snare...what a dream that is. bright, cutting, nice crack...all from a 5+5 maple shell :cool:
