Re: Dear Guests...
Welcome aboard, Tim (LudwigLifer)!
One of my former radio colleagues had a favorite saying that fits right in with what you said earlier: "It's never too late to start, and it's always too soon to quit." I've been playin' for over 25 years (started as a hobby and I've had a few pro gigs here and there), and there is nothing like a great drum teacher to point you in the right direction!
Don't overlook the links to drum lessons at our sister website DrumBum(dot)com, either!
All the best, bro'!
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!

Of course, no one is an expert on everything!Originally Posted by topdog63
I will say I've been on alot of different forums for video games drums and other things and this is the only one where even someone who's been playing less than a year can offer advice on certain things because we've all had different experiances with things. This forum is really great and dare I say addictive
And anyway...anyone with a Beavis and Butthead icon is alright in my book!

Re: Dear Guests...
The benefit of a drum teacher is they get you doing things you would normally avoid like tackling reading music (avoided that when learning the guitar, more to my shame) and now he got me to perciever with 16ths (I was finding them difficult). He got me to swallow my pride and go back over it and over it and now I love them, in fact enjoy playing them more than a lot of others.

You know Lionheart, it is truly amazing when it all comes together..there IS something to be said to be taught by a professional instructor, thats when it becomes second nature. Keep it up!
Enjoy the Music!

Re: Dear Guests...
Hi, newb question: I just registered and was activated. I started a thread, but it's not showing up for some reason. Is there a 'wait' period or something for newbs before they can post a new thread? Or do I have to wait a while for it to show up? At all other forums I frequent, new threads post immediately. Thanks.
Re: Dear Guests...
Welcome TS. Yes there is a short waiting period which is a built in protection against spammers.
However, this post did show so you may be closer than you think.

Re: Dear Guests...
Hi tselanne. I'm not sure what it is, unless maybe you posted something that triggered the need for a moderator's approval. This is a family friendly forum, and one that does not allow spammers, so there is a program filter that monitors the first few posts of new members. Since it all happens in the first few posts, it is only temporary, and the easiest way to deal with it is to just jump in on other threads so that your first few posts go by very quickly.

Re: Dear Guests...
Thanks for the quick response guys! Any idea how many posts I need before I can start a thread?
Re: Dear Guests...
Nevermind, it posted. Thanks!
Re: Dear Guests...
Yep, once it showed up for the moderators it just needed to be approved and now everyone can see it.

Re: Dear Guests...
Woohoo! Thanks again. If you have any thoughts on my post I've love to hear 'em. It's really driving my nuts. This place seems really cool.... a nice mix between maturity, respect, knowledge, and a slice of nuttiness!
Re: Dear Guests...
How long before a new member can start a new thread without Moderator pre-approval?
Re: Dear Guests...
I'd have thought you can start a thread straight away as there are many threads on here started by people on their first post asking for advice on something.

Re: Dear Guests...
Started a new thread last night still not finding it?
Re: Dear Guests...
It's the spam filter software set up for the first 15 or so posts. This is to stop the haters you see on many other forums making this place such a great place to be.
Your post, if caught by the filter, will go through manual moderation by one of the mods. Once you've posted more than the initial limit (15 ish) then all posts go live immediately.
Hope this helps and welcome to DC.
