[quote=Jezen;16236497]Hey guys, check out my hihat battle entry

seemed a little stale. i was more of a rudiment solo than anything. basically what i mean is that it wouldn't of been much different had it been played on a drum or counter top.

instead of going for technicality try going for something that sounds nice and incorporates the fact it's on a hi hat.

examples:

yeah, these are technical and use a lot of rudiments, but they exploit the fact it's on a hi hat more.

Jezen actually nicked a couple of ideas I was gonna use :angry:

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=5][SIZE=2] You think its strange, that there's a way
of how you looked, and how you act, and how you think
pretend they're not the same as you.

Do you know about her strength in convictions
or how she puts all her faith in religion.
Did we take the time to really discover,
how little we know about each other.

Keep us from saying anything.
Can't separate from everything.
And all this really means is
you're one in a crowd
and you're paranoid of every sound.
You're not the friend
you won't miss anyhow.

Would black light kill a fish?

hey jezen post moar pix of that one chick that you hook'd up with that i said was hot.


plz

Nah I'm not seein her anymore. She was a bit weird. Half the time she is lovely and dresses like a proper woman, the other half the time she's really immature and dresses like a lil' emo. :confused:

I got another drum video on the way though..

[quote=Mr Pink;16236119]I just sent my quarterly taxes in...$4200 fed and $1350 to state.
Rather huge suckage![/quote]
Heh, well that's quite a bit worse.

How the hell does Mr Pink afford all this?! He's been through a tragedy and is [I]still[/I] giving away drum gear...

Very, very generous.

Guys....will joining a band make me feel more confident about my playing and inspire me?


Just playing music with real people etc etc....

^^^^
Yes.


On another note, my other drum video is now up in G&M.

It sure will RC

definitely join a band. join as many bands as you can. the more experience you get playing with different musicians the better.

T

Cool.


Do any of you find you groove better when playing with people (not playalongs but actual musicians)?

Cos I can't groove at all anymore, my timing has gone to sh!t and I'm just really crap....and I've just noticed this has all happened since I've been without a band...

as long as they're cool people, yes.

Yeah thats true. I have a number of bands n the goat the moment lol

And yes RC. Makes me groove better.

Sweet.

I have 4-5 band oppotunites that I'm gonna go for.


Was thinking about applying to BIMM but I'm not sure.....and neither is my teacher!

you should definitely apply for bimm.

T

No harm in applying. What's the worst that could happen?



(Please don't say "Dr Pepper")

Ok I wont.


Banana hammock

[quote=Jezen;16237053]No harm in applying. What's the worst that could happen?[/quote]

Well my teacher said that if I apply and fail...think what that'll do to my morale (which as you're probably aware is more than low already!)

He did, however, say that I should apply if I could just go along and not care about whether I got in or not.... if I was to have no emotional attachment to the result then it can't harm me.

But for the most part he doesn't think it's a good idea.


Kind of implies to me that he doesn't think I'll get in lol.

expect the worst and you'll never be disappointed.

T

This is true....something I usually live by.

I normally don't give a crap, never put effort into anything. When I was at college doing Media Studies the girls would spend weeks on their presentations, scripting it etc etc. I would perhaps get a rough idea of what I was gonna say (sometimes even what what I was actually gonna talk about lol) then just go infront of the class and....talk.

I'd end up getting higher marks than those who put weeks of time and effort in.

My philosophy was "whatever happens, it'll be fine in the end"


But I just can't do that with drums. Maybe because I DO put so much effort in.....?

All week I've had this horrific urge to listen to black metal and techno.

Happy Hardcore. =/

Happy hardcore stuff sucks balls

I had a random severe craving for rice pudding, so I went up to the store and bought some :D

Dude you cuda just made it. It's easy enough

You're probably pregnant

Chipple how much do you practice a day? or week?


lol, these people who make traffic cops on bbc1 sure do like Fluke...

How do I make rice pudding? Is it made with rice and cream? I have both of those things.

I mainly use my cream for White Russians though..

milk and cream?
