Woah boy, I've pulled Stick Control out of my closet, its been sitting in there for 6 years (since I stopped taking lessons) and I've begun running through it now that I've bought some Viccy MS2s. Its pretty fun, but the flam exercises are **** hard.

And on a side note, for those who even care, I left a message, but no response, so if nothing comes by tomorrow night.....eh, it was worth a shot.

keep trying dude. dont give up yet. call her again. haha.

How was the message, good?

I'd say leave it 'til you get back from vacation, or let her know your contact info for while you're on your vacation.

Seafroggys 08-03-2005 12:49 AM

My message was pretty cool sounding and articulated well (I wrote it out so I wouldn't go ummm too much, though I threw some in to add to the authenticity ;) ). Though I think my voice was higher pitched then normal in the beginning, but it wasn't bad or anything.

I'll try again after I get back though, definatelly.

EDIT: I didn't read what I wrote out word for word, so stop thinking I'm a dork. I used it as a guide to what to say (like notecards for a school speech, references to where you are in your speech).

Seafroggys 08-03-2005 01:43 AM

My college schedule next year sucks ***........

Take a look at this.....

EDIT: Nm that looks like crap. Anyway, on mon, wed, fri, I have a 10-11 class, then on those days i don't have anything until 2 and that class lasts until 4. On mon tues wed I ahve a night class from 6 to 9. Also on mon i have a class from 4 to 5.

So basically, i have a 3 hour wait on mon wed fri between classes, i don't have any classes thur, and only a night class tue. That means i don't have many nights off :(

Luckily they're all fun classes though.

[QUOTE=Carn]hmm..besides beer I only like jägermeister (or other herb-based drinks) and some good wodka..never got into whiskey or tequila.[/QUOTE]

Whiskey* is so veryyyyyy yummy....

[QUOTE=Voodoo Rabbit]Whisky is so veryyyyyy yummy....[/QUOTE]

Ever had Evan Williams? I'm new to drinking really, but it tastes better than Jack and costs about half as much. Good stuff, but I don't drink whiskey really. I like scotch... Johnny Walker Black. But that's the only thing really.

[QUOTE=Ladmo Bags]Hi. New here. I've only read a few messages so far. Are you ALL kids? Jeez, I was hoping this woulda' been a site with some folks with some knowledge, 'cause I desperately need that.

Callin' you old fogies out there. ;-)
Seriously, any help with anyone would be appreciated, young or old. But I need advanced advice.

I'm 33. I just worked my A$$ off for God knows how long, working one sh!+ job after another. Sometimes holding down two and even three jobs at a time!

But it paid off, because now I got over $12,000 and I'm quittin' my day job. I'm keeping the weekend one though (actually getting enough weekend work to almost make-up for the money I'll be losing), but my weeks are totaly free.

I'm building a recording studio. Oh yeah, as good as done. The most high-tech in all of Arizona. Gonna' get me a new computer and invest heavilly in pro-tools gear. But right now, I'm trying to figure out a few things. Trust me, you guys will hear from me in the future. I need a lot of advice.

For one, I'm trying to figure out how to buid my drum kit. I'm no real drummer, I have to put the high-hat on my right. ;-) But I get by.

I found this sweet Gretsch 5-piece with no cymbols or high-hat for $480. I think it's a safe bet I can get the dealer down to $350 at least, esepcially if I mention that I might be back with my twelve grand and that I just might purchase the Fender Jaguar bass hangin' on the wall...

But I'm wondering a lotta' things. Maybe I should go more into detail when I can post my own thread, but I'm just too anxious to figure some o' this S out.

One BIG thing I'm wondering is what's the deal with snare sizes? Bass drums too, I might imagine. Man, it'd be ideal for me if there was a set standard size. I really need to know what the best size is without investing in tons of crap along the way.

I need a better sound than the crap I always had available to me in the past. I always had a real plastic sound with the kits I played with. I need something full.

Maybe getting a few different size snares might be an idea too, I'm toying with. But I'd realy like to keep my spending for each instrument to a minimum, while keeping the highest standard possible.

Then there is the decision on the best sounding cymbols too. And skins, can't forget skins. I really want high quality everything, as I am trying to create studio perfection. If one thing's off, it's gonna' bug the crap outa' me.

Anyhoo, without going into any further detail about who I am, I'll just appologize for the length of this message and end it now. ;-)[/QUOTE]

Not to be offensive grandpa but u myfriend r clueless. that deal u got, no that not a deal with no hats or cymbAls. it seems to me like u have no real musical knowledge. that whole kit with additional drum HEADS are gonna cost u more than u know. also talking about ur life, whats the deal? u cant even find a PERMANENT ( that means: over an endless amount;, long lasting; durable) job at what? 33? dude, u r 33. u have no life. sorry, but u r desperate. i bet ur marrige life is way gone, if there was ever one. u seem like a gambler to me, concidering u have 3 jobs at a time. and ur strategy: saving up and spending till the $ is gone and then save up again... i mean, whats that all about? thats a technique a 7 year old would know is wrong. i mean, what kinda jobs do u do? a garbage man for three different trucks? u might be 33, but u think like u r ....3? anyway,if i were u i would open my eyes, get of my lazy asce, maybe go to some educational courses to actually live a normal life, and maybe get something out of urself u old lazy piece of crap! jeeze..

Ohh man, that would really fukin hurt. Seriously, thats like the death blow, only more painful.

Jezen 08-03-2005 11:32 AM

Haha Red n Black that was funny. I read the first part, but I started losing the words in the second paragraph.

red n black 08-03-2005 11:43 AM

^^^ I think the meanest thing was too say he has Aheads. he he ha

And about that text, I wrote that late in the night, I was a bit tired, so I thought:

why the héll use spaces, capitals or even sentences, FÚCK THAT SHÍT!!!

And you should really read the second part, theres references to Beatles and Pink Floyd I think.

Win A Rabbit 08-03-2005 12:12 PM

well my dad didn't take me into work today, after i specifically asked him yesterday if i could work. :upset: occasionally when he does this though, he pays me for 6 or so hours anyways. oh i wish. i'm still waiting for my paycheck from the last 2 weeks to come in. savin up for my new sonors :thumb:

getting an ipod today...(when i get my fat [B]a[/B]ss of the computer chair) i like how small the ipod shuffle is but im afraid it wont hold enough music, and is it possible to take music off the ipod once you put it into it? like say i fill it up, and i want a different song than one on there, can i take some songs off than replace with a different songs?

swift 08-03-2005 12:52 PM

yes you can replace the songs

Futuro 08-03-2005 01:06 PM

[QUOTE]yes you can replace the songs[/QUOTE] ok thanks!

Jezen 08-03-2005 01:14 PM

I wouldn't get a shuffle. Regular/Mini iPods are that much better because you can use them for practice/gigs.

Voodoo Rabbit 08-03-2005 01:20 PM

You get I-pod sock-ish things now don't you?....
I think it may be a BIT over the top....

Chris 08-03-2005 01:21 PM

Get a Zen!!! Ipods arent that good.

Voodoo Rabbit 08-03-2005 01:46 PM

*Has been listening to the same song for over an hour*....

Jezen 08-03-2005 02:04 PM

That must get annoying. Im listening to Dave Weckl Bands 'Synergy' album.

Ill Mitch 08-03-2005 02:06 PM

Oooh Dave Weckl Band. Good Choice. Have you heard their live album?

Jezen 08-03-2005 02:11 PM

Can't say I have.

Ill Mitch 08-03-2005 02:14 PM

If you want I could send you some of it. It's a fantastic album.

Jezen 08-03-2005 02:16 PM

How would you send it?

Tim 08-03-2005 02:17 PM

dont get an ipod mini. minis suck. the actual ones have so much more space on them and its only like $50 more.

Futuro 08-03-2005 02:19 PM

whats the difference between the mini and shuffle?

Double Bass Jim 08-03-2005 02:21 PM

Weckls band is GREAT, one of the few modern day drummer based bands that are good.
