  1. Re: Post something nobody cares about but you.

    Last night: had to watch the Steelers lose to the Patriots. :angry:

    This morning: a car nearly sideswiped me before cutting me off. On the back of the vehicle: a Patriots decal. :wall:

    Re: Memorial Day Weekend

    I'm going to reflect on my late veteran friend for awhile. (He served in at least one of the world wars, I think he served in both.)

    All the while, I'm taking care of three abandoned kittens we're...

    Re: First Tattoo!

    My brother's a tattoo artist, so I got it for free. :icon_mrgreen:



    No offense taken. I can understand how some people don't like tattoos or even the thought of getting one (or more). I feel...

    First Tattoo!

    On Saturday, I did something that none of my family members thought I'd actually go through with: I got my first tattoo :icon_mrgreen:. It consists of two Chinese symbols which translate to "inner...

    I stayed up until 2 am last night. I seriously considered doing my best Keith Moon impression at midnight, but my daughter talked me out of it. (I should've done it anyway, it's not like anyone...

    Poll: Re: Lets talk Chinas.. Lip up or down?

    Down. I shoulder mine with a light, glancing blow. It's a lot easier on the cymbal (and sticks!) and I still get a good sound and volume (my noise-hating family members yell at me whenever I hit my...

    Re: Test Driving Cymbals

    I totally agree with point number one. That's exactly how I found the perfect ride. I was looking at a 20" ride, but my ears preferred the 22" ride (both were Meinl Byzance Sand Rides). I'm glad I...
  14. Re: Using dark and bright crashes together?

    I myself use a variety of cymbals, both bright and dark. I use 13" Zildjian K custom dark hi-hats, a 18" Zildjian K medium thin dark crash, a 17" Sabian AAXplosion crash, a 10" Sabian APX splash, a...

    Re: Dare you respond to this thread?

    When I first started drumming, I set my rack toms way too high.

    Even worse, (and this is almost too embarrassing to admit to, but I'll be big) when I first got my drum kit, I thought that the...

    I put a pillow in my bass drum to muffle the sound. Not only did it end up looking stupid, it worked way too well. :doh::wall:

    Re: Using ear plugs while drumming.

    I use ear muffs, myself. I found that some ear plugs are too uncomfortable and muffle the sound too much for my liking.

    But I most certainly do not play without hearing protection.

    Another thing that drives me nuts is when I list my cymbal collection and someone says "Ringo Starr has that exact same dark crash! You...
