OBSCURITY!

I just saw your avatar again and I just remembered:
3 Inches of Blood, that guy is no longer the drummer. I think he either quit or got kicked out.

Just days away from their U.S. tour with Chimaira et al, 3 Inches Of Blood have announced the departure of drummer Matt Wood. According to the band, "Matt informed us last month that he would be leaving the band once we got home at the end of June. The reasons given were both musical and personal, but there's no animosity between us. We respect Matt's decision, but are moving forward and still playing." For now, the group has enlisted the services of drummer Alexei Rodriguez (ex-Walls Of Jericho, Catharsis).[/quote]

Whats wrong with Superstars? (in regards to Jims post above).
Thanks.

What ever drummer needs in his practice arsenal!

:cool:
I just picked up the new vic firth pad, i've had the corpsmasters for awhile and the good ole' MA-30 click. I looked all over for my stick control book to add in and can't find it :( I tore the house apart lookin for it too.

Sure beats playin on the top of an old throne like I used to down here :lol:

you need to dump that vic firth stuff and come home to promark ;)

i always end up twirling the sticks and practicing BD combinations with my feet ~ rudiments, i need to practice rudiments! [IMG]http://users.adelphia.net/~d2rook/pics/wut.gif[/IMG]

i need to go out and buy a practice pad.

The Click sounds like a military weapon.

Yeah, those corps masters rule for practice sticks, I picked up a pair for pads (or in my case...pillow), I'm already noticing results when I go back to my usual sticks. Great for building up wrist and finger strength. Stick control is great, I've been working on doing those exercises with the hands and feet, to build chops, and for some awesome beats, rudiments used in beats and grooves can sound pretty awesome.

Deffinlety man, keep workin those fingers!

sorry to change the subject, but how to you pronounce vinnie caluatia (no idea how to spell it)

Ralph's are okay, but everybody uses them. THere's better out there.

Try Jim Cassella Corpsmaster sticks. I fricken love those things.

The best chop builders from my experience are the MS2 Corpsmasters. I just bought a new pair and have been working Stick Control for the past couple of days on my old Ludwig Vacuum pad! :lol:

For good reason ;)

I got some Pro Mark TXDC3SW marching sticks, but I dont use them much I got them to try out different sizes and feel. My question maybe silly and noobish but Im not to proud to ask. Why does the heavy sticks build chops better? Because of the weight? Or the size or the combination, I would love a short explantion please, thank you.

Just like how everybody likes Travis Barker for good reason?

i say it "call - eeee - oo (as in tooth) - ta"

well i just got back from my friends, and we were watching harold and kumar. wow, i saw it before and thought it was funny, but the second time around was torture. i have to say, i hated it this time. and i was supposed to go into work at 7, but now i'm getting a ride in at 10, and working till 5. 3 hours less than i wanted, but money is money i guess. i think i'm mowing again tomorrow, which is a good thing. i can even bring my new discman. :thumb:

did anyone see conan yesterday? max went to ozzfest, and said mastodon, shadows fall, and lamb of god were amazing. i don't like shadows fall, but the other 2 are amazing. i woulda never have guessed max to say that.

Yeah I saw that!

I was like sweet, Max is so gnarly.

By the way, I pronounce it "Call Eh Ou Tah".

Jim, I know your online right now. Tell me your AIM/MSN/ICQ and I will send you Stick Control.

Vinnie Colaiuta.

Cool-ee-aa-taa

It's around here somewhere I don't need a copy.

Not quite.. Call-E-Oo-Ta

That would be the best english pronounceation, though not the true as it is a foriegn name.

It's Italian.. like my last name, Micheletti.

Well ill pronounce it as I do until I meet him, then I will just call him Vinnie.

And Jimmy, if you don't find it, you know who to ask.

Lack of respect to vince is a banable offense!

:lol:

:O

I love Vinnie! He rules! He has always been one of my top favourites.

Very much so!


Vince is a great guy, so passionate about playing drums. Lucky are those who get to meet and talk with such an amazing player.

Ya, so I haven't slept all night, and I have to work in abour 4 hours. I work at my school doing custodial work/housekeeping, and then go work at a theater. My show opens on Friday, so I'm kinda nervous. I do technical work, mostly lighting and sound.

Ohhhhh, good luck (or break a leg or whatever) with your show....


[QUOTE=British Boy]That must get annoying.[/QUOTE]

Naw, not really. It kind of Ambient music, it's really nice but it's making me all sad....

Yeah Break a light......
