THE STRONGHOLD GOT CLOSED!

**** the establishment, its WAR!

I never got to introduce myself in the original :(

But the establishment luvs u.

OHNO A DIFFERENT THREAD.

I like version 1.1. It's sleeker and sexier.

I like your attitude.

You know what? This is insulting to the old 'hold. Version 1.1? Makes it sound like this thread is an upgrade, like it's supposed to be better than the old one which is assumed to be 1.0.

Yo.... kind of annoys me that my thread was closed, but I guess it was necessary by this point. :(

To bring my own insight to this new stronghold:

Hi, my name is Will Hendrix, I'm 18, and I go to Manhattanville College. I play a variety of styles, including jazz, funk, metal, and a little bit of Latin. I play Tama Swingstar drums, Sabian, Zildjian, and Wuhan Cymbals.

I also enjoy long walks on the beach, and random hot girl pics. (I love you Berk)

I'm diggin the recording gear. :chug:

I don't know if I ever introduced myself in the first thread. Since I am bored, I will do it now.

Hi, my name is Kelsey, I'm 16 and I have no life. All I do is play drums, piano, harp and sing, and on occassion I may go out and get drunk on a Saturday, then go to church to teach sunday school or read scripture hungover. I also enjoy wasting my youth away on the internet.

I like most music as long as it doesn't suck, but mainly progressive rock/metal and jazz I suppose. I play a variety of stuff and I have a 5 piece sonor 3003 and some pretty awesome cymbals that I'm too lazy to list.

That's pretty much everything about me.

You forgot the (.Y.) part.

Yes, I also have boobs but they are small and unimpressive.

Now that's everything.

Might as well introduce myself, since I never got the chance to in the old thread :(

My name is Justin Radford. I am 20 years old, have lived in Portland, Oregon my whole life. I am extremely liberal, a member of the Green Party, and have been drumming for over 7 years. I don't do much with my life except internet, games, and drumming, while working at Target and going to college.

I like Classic Rock. I am not close minded, its just I love this style so much, so I'm sticking with it. I also like swing, non screaming heavy metal, some classical, some jazz, older pop music, some alternative rock....little bits here and there. I like something from everything (except modern rap and hip hop), but those are the styles I tend to go with more. My favorite bands are The Beatles and The Who, and other favorite bands of mine are Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Cream, Hendrix Experience, Black Sabbath, Metallica, and Emerson Lake and Palmer.

Hello to all! It's great having a forum where people actually POST stuff. novel idea.

Already found one drummer i hadn't heard of before, Gavin Harrison. Can anyone tip me off to some of his best work? what porcupine tree album should i start with, too?

why do you have xhibit as your avatar?

Man Froggy's, you are old school!

I didn't post enough in the old stronghold to miss it. Ebe's just trying to help out, so I for one am going to cut him some slack.

Yeah I don't see the big deal about the old stronghold being closed.


[QUOTE=Chippy569;14371803]why do you have xhibit as your avatar?[/QUOTE]

It's Stefon Harris. He's a super awesome jazz/fusion vibraphone player, and seemed to be a really nice guy too.
I think I'm due for a new avatar though.

My fav is In Absentia, its a great place to start.

Wrath.... +rep for bein canadian :D

i say the old 'hold gets deleted and watch the postcounts drop!



I'm David and i'm 18 and I live in Minnesota where it was 66º F yesterday, and will snow tomorrow.
I've been playing drums mainly through my church, St. Joseph the Worker in Maple Grove. [url]http://www.sjtw.net[/url]. I've been playing for about four years now.
Mmm... the history of my kits. My first ever kit was a Tama Stagestar that I loved to death and miss terribly. She was originally just a black wrap but a long time ago I refinished her all by myself.
[img]http://www.inkinc.hostedz.com/images/drums/Stagestar/Top/Top14.jpg[/img]

Not long after that point I started yearning for something bigger. I loved the custom idea so I found a builder @ [url]http://www.drumshed.org[/url] that I liked: Raven Customs. Dan was a great guy, fun to work with, and talented. Got just what I wanted at a price I could definitely work with.

I figured this kit was going to have to last a long time, so I'd get the biggest I could afford with the thought of many possible setups. I love it! Though right now she's packed up since my rehearsal room is getting new carpeting saturday.

I love playing at my church. Guaranteed gig every week, with an audience of 300+ and other musicians I love. Here's the Pearl Forum I refinished for my church, which I adore. Yes, those are saludas.

However my real love is recording. Really, i'm not a good drummer. I'm hardly even a mediocre drummer. But I am a great soundman because I love to listen and tweak. I'm a tweaknut. Here's my current home recording gear.

ok it's not much, but 'ya gotta start somewhere. This fall I'll be going to Michigan Tech to pursue a BA in sound design.

Canada ftw

[QUOTE=Electric Requiem;14371860]My fav is In Absentia, its a great place to start.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. Best album to start with in my opinion. It was the first I got and I fell in love with it immediately.

i live like...an hour away from you:thumb:

I guess I'll introduce myself as well.

Hi, my name is Tom I'm from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, I'm 17 and I've been playing drums for about a year and a half. I guess I am currently prescribing to some social Darwinist ideas. I will be taking first year engineering next year, so I am glad I have an instrument I can play in my dorm (not like I'll have time).
I'm currently playing a Taye Studio Maple and a Synesthesia Mandala drum pad. I have **** cymbals which I will update over the summer if I can make enough.
I love progressive rock and metal, jazz and jazz fusion.

There surely are alot of drummers in the drum forum.

[QUOTE=billdrum;14371808]Man Froggy's, you are old school! [/QUOTE]

Totally. That type of music turns me on in a way no other music does.

I'm surprised no one commented on my hippy-ism, I expected some derogatory 'tree hugger!' comments.

Tree Hugger!!!11!

People shouldn't bash political beliefs.

Fascist Scum!!1!

I was just messing around playing with some ideas for the solo comp and decided to record this.
I know its sloppy, if that's all you want to say don't bother leaving a comment on it.
I hope somebody listens.

I listened bro.I thought it was pretty cool,thats mainly cause I love instruments like that one.Who cares about drums,thats what I like to hear.

Hi, my name is John Samson, i live in Redfern, NSW, Australia. I enjoy playing as inversely staccato as i can, although i wish to try some turks very badly. My home address is 245 Smith Street. My postcode is 2948. My home number is 59384938, and my mobile number is 0493849574. My penis is approximately 5" long, i am young and tender, and i like to visit the Harmony park's bathrooms on friday nights. I am very easily scared into silence, a bit slow, and rather easy to take advantage of. I work at the Macdonald's on the highway (night shifts usually), and like to hang around in the car-park after work. I spend alot of my free time working on my compositions, and trying to aquire tabla. I am an amazing kisser.

Ooooooooh, i have to go. My date (COUGHofsortsCOUGH) is nearly here:P

Ugh, stupid friend making me watch stupid Zodiac.

Redfern? That's on the line that goes from Cronulla to Bondi Junction right? I used to live in Bundeena (across the water from Cronulla) and I used to go to Gymea Tech High.

Sutherland Shire FTW!!!

Hi, I'm Sam, and I've given up college, sleeping and drums to dedicate my life to Ogame.

Good morning children.

Gotta go to the job centre.

Morning 'Hold, I'm still stoked from last night's win \o/

I know it's cruel to laugh at other people's set-ups, but...

I love people who think that because a tom arm goes to a certain length, it needs to be at that length.
