[QUOTE=trunks_punk]they are a fantastic band to make so much out of so little. If you have seen the live dvd, the drummer looks like he's playing one of those beginner kits you get from youe local music store, the bass player is as tight as a clenched ***, and matt, well, he just sounds like hes putting everything he's got into it.

favorites:

keep 'em coming

bleeder[/QUOTE]

derek doesnt look like he's playing a beginner set at all...beginner sets are a solid color and he has the black/red stripes plus a custom kick head plus for 3 of his drums (tom, floor tom, and kick) it's $1500 at least...i know solid colors are $1500 (USD)...he plays C&C Custom Drums from Kansas City...they sound amazing though i'm looking into them...and matt and dan keep it tight with derek...one of the best live dvds i have seen...and in person is even better!

nice song list, i just recently got over my obsession with the song bleeder i had to force myself to quit listening to it so much...

anybody know the b-side(s) for mercy me?

I think he means he has a simple kit, from what i can see he only has a floor tom, normal tom, bass, hi-hat, couple of crashes, and a ride, i think, im not sure. Thats going of the Time to waste video. He's a good drummer though.

oh..on the dvd he only had a 4-piece kit (kick, tom, floor tom, snare), hi hats, crash, and ride...but when i saw them live he had the 4-piece with 2 crashes, hats, ride, china, and i think a splash...its kind of like my set but i have a picollo snare too for when i do ska and i dont have a splash...

That's a third crash, not a china I'm pretty sure.

And he doesn't have a small kit. I mean seriously how many punk drummers play on a kit bigger than a 4 piece?

Alkaline Trio is the only band i can listen to at the moment. I'm getting quite obsessed!

nah, it was a china i was in the front row...i think he uses it in mercy me but i cant remember right now, havent listened to crimson in about a week...i know ive heard a china in one of the crimson songs though

and i never said his kit was small, i just stated its a 4-piece...i usually consider my kit a 4-piece w/ alternate snares cause i usually only use the picollo for effects i consider 5-6 pieces BIG actually...

and i wouldnt call derek a punk drummer...he does ska work and i'm sure with his skill he knows several other styles...as my drum teacher told me: the more styles you have mastered, the more creative you will be in the style you like to play

OHHHH YEAAAHHH!!!


I've just arranged with a lady from the forums to get me a Trio scarf and some gloves. I am rather happy right now. :D

I want to get a Cursive one and a Modest Mouse one.

Yeah I love how in All On Black for example he does these crazy fast ride-bell patterns. He is one of my favorite drummers and seeing him play live was a joy to watch.

All On Black is one of my faovurite trio songs.

It's better acoustic.

On Alk3's acoustic songs, Dan's voice is even more secksi!

the only trio song i cant even remotely play on drums is sundials..way too fast

Is the live dvd worth £12 i saw it yestoday but didnt buy it, i might next time in in manc.

Yeah get it, but i would draw the line at 14

well its 12.99 i think. I could find it for ages in this huge shelf of music dvds, then i noticed i was litteraly staring at it

what is a £ in comparison to a US $?

I would say £6.50=$10 almost. That's just an estimate though.

theyre pretty good my rythm guitar player went to see them.

Live \at the Metro? I paid that for it I reckon. Its £12.99 on Amazon.

Yeah, the halloween one.

I think its well worth the buy, its good to see Matt forget lyrics, and its just great to hear the songs rawer than studio versions. Its a must buy for t3h die hard fans like me though. :thumb:

I wouldnt say im a die hard fan.....

Just yet. I realy want an alk3 tatoo though, i dunno if i want the star, or the heart, and i dunno where, i want it behind my ear.

I'd have the heart on my arm, i think it'd look awesome.

Why would you have it behind your ear?!
