What are you gonna do? Throw Z customs at people? Use Aquarian heads as shields? Use 1B drumsticks to beat off your enemies? Just make sure you don't take any Hydro heads with you 'cause that'd really take the tone out of things.

:lol: nice one rich :lol:

If you are 100% about doing that, join the Royal Marines (if you are from the UK), as they are the best in learning music.

Yeah I live in England. Also, military musicians don't fight...

In the marines you would be trained as a medic, so in theroy you could be a front line troop.

Therefore I don't want to be a marine. I'm quite happy with being alive thanks..

God i love adam carsons drumming

Woot im orderin my xmas snare today :D and going to buy my xmas cymbal tomorrow :D

Woot. I'm selling off school books soon and mum said I can have the proceeds!

God damn im bored

Alright. As most of you probably already know. I am a beginner. I am wonering why people put duct tape on their drums. I dont know what it does or even where exactly it should go. I also want to know what the strategy is behind this. Does it make them louder?

Also could someone give a good description of all the cymbals, what they sound like, what kind of music they are mostly used in, where they should be on the set, if possible even songs that the cymbal is used in.

Althought I know the hi-hat is used in almost every song. Im not so sure about the others.

god damn im bored too...anybody see the lang video yet?ive watched it like 40 times since i last posted

No, it dampens them. Gets rid of overtones, makes it quieter, if anything. Bad overtones can be killed with good tuning, and its best to let your toms ring anyway, especially live.

makes them quieter, it reduces vibrations sent over the drums, its called muffling, and it can go anywhere on the drum, just not where you would actually hit the drum. it reduces ring/overtones

EDIT: beat me too it ^^ nice avatar man, love the christmas spirit

yay its my birthday tomorrow, but i got presents yesterday....not exactly anything drum related, but i'm taking my earnings and getting a new basshead.

Anyways,w hat I got:

steel case that holds 40 CDs
Cream May 2005 Concert DVD (everybody should get this! Ginger still owns at age 65)
Tommy (THe Who)
Help (The Beatles)
Brain Salad Surgery (ELP....DaBJ will like this one)

Tommy is one fine piece of work.

Well i guess my drums arent going to the practice room any time soon :upset: The engine block was forced backwards and left (from the front on) so it nearly punched through the other side. Some woman pulled out of a junction without looking and the roads were slippy so she went into the front corner

Blimey.

At least you're okay.

I wasnt in the car :D Its me dads

[QUOTE=RichHunt]It's his name and I don't see anything wrong with the spelling of it.[/QUOTE]


I agree with poppin here. What the he meant was Where did he learn to spell. He didnt mean where di he learnt o spell his name he just meant where did he learn to spell, for example if I was to say to my friend Hannah Where are you going Hannah? I could also say where are you going? Without adding Hannah, he just qadded Loyton.






















God I hope i'm right :lol:

Dear god...
