Setting up drums is like the most daunting task ever.

I'm glad I play guitar

drums arent hard. Sure, it takes time to be "good", but if you have the foot/hand independance thing down, its no big deal.


Playing in time....

for MOST drummers, this seems like an impossible feat

[QUOTE=Kurrpt]no WAY...



good beer anyway. Im not sure what these other pansies drink. Micro breweries ftw[/QUOTE]

never tasted good beer. besides i drink alcohol to get drunk...

anyway if you mix vodka rum or tequilla with the right juice you won't even taste it.

Having a solid background in piano really leaves you open to pretty much any instrument. You get used to doing multiple things at once.

Ya im just getting used to the whole independance thing, had my drums like a month now

[quote=AG]I want a drumkit.

I want one of those huge Electric Roland ones, though.[/quote]

Those kick arse, I tried one out once.

I bought a nice power tool today, for inlaying :cool:


I'm gonna practise tomorrow.

im with you on the NON-DRUNK thing. I cant stand drunk people, for the most part, and i absolutely hate getting drunk. I drink purely for the taste.



As far as the independance thing, it took me about 3 hours till i had it down "fairly" well. It helped a ton with using a wah pedal

i used to play drums in the 6th grade. so i know a fair ammount of stuff on drums. i can write stuff.

although, i do things backwards on a set, because everytime i play one its set up right handed.

i'm actually fairly interested in bass right now. I dunno if it was just that i was lacking a clean channel for so long, but bass seemed pretty fun, and i tabbed out jeremy from pearl jam like just messing around. the harmonics were wrong but i thought they were guitar so i didn't wanna try and figure that out + i was in a store.

some people should never get drunk...thier mood changes and they forget thier human beings and start pissing on everything and sleeping with anything that has genitals...

i dont get like that...except for laughing a bit more i am totally normal...it's weird...i don't know if it is the same with any other drugs cause i've never tried any...

i've only been super drunk once...when i was having problems with this girl i liked and got super drunk and almost got hit by a car.

haven't been that drunk since...

but getting a little in you and listing to music really changes the way you can look at it...or it can make a band sound even worse like when i got drunk and listened to puddle of mudd's "life on display" album...god that was horrible...

blah blah blah

going to shut up now...

pixplz

I'm assuming it's some kinda dremel/router or something......but i really can't imagine what kinda tool you'd really use for inlaying aside from that

Yeh, it's a dremel type thing, but with a lovely flat base.


32,000 rpm unloaded speed, lmao.

After experiencing what drummers go through.... I don't think we can complaign about floyd roses ever again.

HOWEVER


Setting up a drum kit is fun, it's just like a big kids lego kit


whereas

changing strings on the floyd is jsut damn tedious

They sent me a bunch of shells, the heads and cymbals and then a box of loose hardware.

No instructions

you definitely raise some interesting points. Those are good reasons not to drink. I try not to hang around that scene for the mentioned reason.


My fiancee has alcoholism in her family. Ive had bad experiences with her getting drunk, so i really separate her from it. In the past 2.5 years, ive only had 3-5 instances that i can easily get past.

you knows you want this

ill pass...



but maybe someone else does. I like my overdrive

Have fun, took me like 2 hours to set mine up (first time ever doing it)

So motherfuc[SIZE=2]k[/SIZE]ers, for this telecaster;

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v86/lalalalalalalala/6ea61234.jpg[/IMG]

Angled middle humbucker like in the pic, or reverse angled?

I don't know what I want the middle pickup to do when I add it to the bridge or neck, give more highs or give more lows.


Hmm.

i like the parker-style headstock

AG you gonna inlay the words "LOVE SHACK" down the fretboard?

my girl has that as her ring tone. Drives me fukking bonkers i must say

My phone refuses to save ringtones so i'm stuck with the normal ring ring unless i change it when i turn it on.

reverse-angled middle FTU

(For the Unique-niss)

thats weird about the ring tone thing. Im not too proud of mine, and i really dont like picking the damn thing up

my phone plays wicked-*** techno when a person calls.

I only bought the one i have now cause my old nokia became increasingly unreliable, saw this and it was cheap. I sort of regret it now.
I'll probably look into getting a new one in a couple months, actually new this time, not used.

Hmm, just looked at my paypal account thinking I was £100 up, then I remembered the Telecaster.

Agreed compeltely on that man.

I've never been drunk, and never will - a mate of mine got drunk and started shouting some random [SIZE=2]sh[/SIZE]it, it was so embarrassing I'd rather not go into it.

The other reason is, I'm quite an uptight person in general. People say that alcohol is a depressent and relaxes you, and no doubt that's true for most but for me I just get even worse, I get more nervous. Once I had 2 bottles of beer and just stopped communicating with anyone. I'd hate to think what I'd be like if I was drunk, so - I officially don't drink alcohol at all.

i got stuck with this phone cause of my fiancee. When she updated her phone, her rich g-mom said she could get whatever one she wanted. Naturally i suggested the razor phone, or the itunes phone. She went on the cheap and chose this one.

When she wanted me to switch to her plan, it seemed like a glorified excuse for her to get the pink razor phone

Hmm.[/QUOTE]

Interesting AG, I like it.
What do you use more, and why? I would try to get more highs for the neck in my case. I use the bridge a lot more by itself, so it would be nice to give a little more versatility to the neck pup.

haha, forgot about the flaming ringtones :lol:

good god i wish someone would shoot me at work some times


I mean, every one has that level of STUPID they can put up with before they get perturbed. I think i hit that level at about 10am every morning. At 4:17 p.m., "im a mushroom cloud laying mother fukker"

This guy I go to school with, has this one where it just loops a guy sayin "Pick up the phone!".

the first time I heard it, i was alone and then it started ringing, it scared the shSIZE-2it out of me.

My ringtone is Satch Boogie :thumb:

So who here just worked for about $48/hr

that's right TBF did

Jesus, doing what?

My cellphone has a normal, ringing, sound

but my buddy has this awesome mp3 phone with this ringtone that's just heavy, palm muted chuggachugga and a hetfield-esque voice going "ringringringringringrignringringringringringringring..." in constant eighths

the most annoying, yet hilarious thing ever

so I see tbf was whoring himself out to rich old men again

[QUOTE=The Black Fist]So who here just worked for about $48/hr

that's right TBF did[/QUOTE]


did you work for less than 8 hours?


otherwise, thats like peice work

Sup TBF - was it you who made 'This is not Black Metuhl'?

And if so, could you link me please?

[QUOTE=overturned]Jesus, doing what?[/QUOTE]

gruntwork- Setting up barricades for a concert tomorrow. The rate is actually $12/hr, but it only took an hour to do and we get paid for a minimum of 4 hours so yeah I pretty much win

going back tomorrow for two separate shifts, both of which will be of similar lengths with similar pays
