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:

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...
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...
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...
(Sorry if this isn't very funny. I came up with it myself. Constructive criticism is welcome.)
A young couple is walking down a beach, when they hear someone screaming loudly. Thinking something...
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...

Centipedes are such beautiful and wonderful creatures! :icon_mrgreen:
My own mother was nearly scammed a couple of years ago. Someone called the house claiming to be from Microsoft. They said that they were "looking at her computer and they found several viruses on...
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...
I'm so old, I can't have candles on my birthday cake unless I want the fire department to show up. Again.
1. Drums
2. Ocarina
3. Drums
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...
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...
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:
I would love to find a copy of Super Mario 64 for the N64. Oh the memories.
My best (and worst) memory is when I went to grab a red coin in the haunted house stage. The coin was sitting next to...
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.
Some time...
I've been looking for a new companion for about the last two weeks, and finally, my search ended. When I first decided to get another companion, I decided to get a dog, preferably a Chihuahua to go...
I really hear you on that one! That one sends me into orbit.
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...
a while back, I happened upon a couple of documentaries on YouTube about the most extreme water/amusement park ever created. I watched them out of curiosity (or boredom). While listening to the...
Aside from drums, I enjoy reading (I'm currently reading a very interesting book about the history of the US Supreme court for my book club), studying biology (especially the "darker" aspects),...

Or improper technique, or some combination thereof. Myself, I'm leaning towards flat out abuse of the cymbals.
Case in point: before I got the awesome cymbal collection I have now, I was...
...help when someone in the shop pointed at me and yelled something about a wanted poster.
So, then I...
I favor wood over nylon.
