[QUOTE=Simple Man]Hey D&P :wave:

EDIT: Jim Fast Fingers wanted me to ask you if you could change his name to MX Dancin' Man.

If that's ok with you.[/QUOTE]
Ok he's set.

Thanks man, Or he says Thanks.

No prob, glad to help ya.

yes, as a late reply DBJ, I'm all about the new Dead movie.

Also, to whoever said Day of the Dead rocked, although it's my least favorite of the three movies I agree it's very underrated. Everybody bashes it but I think it had by far the best effects and visceral feeling to it, which is pretty important in a zombie movie. And you can't beat the opening city scene... always sends a shiver up my spine.

Feel free to IM me if you're ever bored and wanna talk about horror and scifi movies DBJ ... yeah, I'm a dork.

Hmm, talk about off topic... um, drums rock!

[QUOTE=sugarandstripes]Hey everyone, I'm Kristina, I'm 21, I'm a senior chemistry major at SCU here in California. I've been playing drums for about 2 years now and I mostly lurk here on the forum. I just bought a vintage 1964 Ludwig Super Classic today for $575 and I've spent the past 3 hours cleaning the 40 years worth of gunk all over it when I should be doing some homework.:) Here's a pic of my new baby (the treadmill and the weight machine in the back kinda ruin it, I know)

In terms of what type of music I like, I love underground, retro garage type stuff like the Reigning Sound and kickass 60s garage bands. I absolutely adore Charlie Watts. I like the old school style of drumming; for me personally, the simpler, the better. Which is why I love Charlie and why I love vintage kits. :cool:[/QUOTE]


Man, that is a SMOKIN kit!! You found a gem there.

Ok, so is this like a D&P community thread?

[QUOTE=ledpoisoning27]My name is Mike, and i live in a northern Chicago suburb. I've been drumming for a year and a half. My music tastes are classic rock and late folk and blues. my favorite and most influential drummers are John Bonham, Keith Moon, Mitch Mitchell, and Ginger Baker. o and the weather sucks up here right now![/QUOTE]

Love your inspirations, love your avatar. 'Cept mine is better :D

Whatsup everyone?

Yeah exactly Ken.

First post in the Drum Stronghold. w00t and all that. Seems to be a different place to the Guitar Stronghold. Or rather, the Guitar Strong[b]lod[/b] II. First one had over 4000 pages. Think it was the biggest thread on MX. You may have guessed, it was a spamfest. Before it was deleted, I had over 6,000 posts :eek:.

Do I have a point? Ummm, no I don't think so. Hmm. Drums. Ok, I'll tell you about my drum kits. Yes, kits. Result of divorced parents, you get two of everything.

Reasonably old (not vintage) Tama kit. Imperial Star or something. Stewart Copeland used to use a similar kit I think. 9 ply mahogany shells, grey/white/black flecked paint on the inside. Not sure on sizes, but I'll guess. Drums with * have only batter head.

[QUOTE=the thing that should never be]I want your Imperialstar and your JR snare. Give them to me now....[/QUOTE]

Hmmmmmm, nah, I think I'll keep them. D'you wanna hear the best part? The entire second kit was £300. £100 of that was the JR snare.

Yikes 300 bucks! Man thats amazing those were great drums too.

Guitar Stronghold still is a spamfest, It had 1000 post in less than a day, and a bunch of "rep whoring" too. I have 15k and soon I'll be off the first page :lol:

[QUOTE=Double Bass Jim]Yikes 300 bucks! Man thats amazing those were great drums too.[/QUOTE]

Unfortunately, no, not 300 USD, but 300 GBP, which equals 575 USD. Still a pretty good deal I feel.

I didn't say it wasn't, did I? It's a total spamfest.

Haha, No, I was agreeing with you.

Ah right, sorry for the misunderstanding. It is a bit unruly. On the other hand, it stops spam from filtering into the erious threads. Usually.

Yeah true, but no real discussion is held there just, "rep me" and other stupid stuff.

Sometimes discussion goes on. It was better when more 03'ers and other vets hung out, now it's all the danged 04'ers.

Yeah, everyonce in awhile there will be a senseable discussion but not very often.

For sure, thats nothing for a kit like that.

The China is a Wuhan 18"

My band just put the down payment on a Rehearsal Studio today. 12x24 room, soundproof level of 54db, inhouse Recording Studio ($38 per hour). Rent is $250 a month, only $62.50 for each of the 4 of us.

I'm not Hardcore, Emo, a Metalhead, an Old Schooler, as a band we are none of these. We all are ourselves.
