| ___________________________________________________ [Aug 7,2008 1:11pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] He should make a post on RttP. Someone will answer it, I'm sure. |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 7,2008 1:18pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] redundant post is redundant post is redundant post |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 7,2008 1:22pm - ouchdrummer ""] did he post and repost every month? It's hard not to pick this post apart... but i'll resist. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 7,2008 1:39pm - aril ""] you've gotta give him credit. dude wants to be in a band. I thought there was a bunch of bands that needed a drummer? what happened? |
| ____________________________ [Aug 7,2008 1:47pm - mOe ""] seriously, all anyone ever says is how theres no drummers around but when one posts on here but has black dahlia murder on his influences they get ignored |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 7,2008 1:50pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i'm resentful cause he doesnt live around here :( |
| ________________________________ [Aug 7,2008 2:41pm - sxealex ""] drummers are stupid assholes |
| ____________________________ [Aug 7,2008 2:46pm - mOe ""] yea, right...stupid dumb fuck dummiebutt heads |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 7,2008 5:04pm - ouchdrummer ""] the reason most drummers get ignored is because when people actually hear them they suck. Most drummers list influences like dillinger, cephalic, and btbam, but when you tell em to play something off of alaska or calculating infinity they dont stand a fucking chance. drummers (musicians) should list bands that they not only like, but they can actually PLAY some of there stuff. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 7,2008 5:07pm - ouchdrummer ""] hate to say it..... but i've met WAY more dumb drummers than smart ones. think about it, who is drawn to drums... people who wanna hit things. hard and fast. people who wanna make a lot of noise, people who wanna be the center of attention. When you think about it, its a miracle there are as many good drummers as there are. With the amount of physical conditioning and boring mind numbing practice you need to do, the testosterone drivin dude-guys who are drivin to playing usaully dont get that good. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Aug 11,2008 1:54pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] I can't understand how people do that "get some agression out by playing the drums" shit. Playing drums is fucking shitty and there's nothing stress-releaving about it. |
| _____________________________ [Aug 11,2008 2:10pm - mOe ""] there is to an extent...usually playing drums will mellow me out if i'm bored or anxious or both...playing a show/set usually puts me in a great mood |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 11,2008 2:40pm - ouchdrummer ""] yeah it puts me in a great mood too. And relieves a lot of stress, but only now that i can actually play what i want to. My drumming was the cause of stress in the begging, why cant i do this, why do i keep slowing down, why won't nile take me as their new drummer? Ya know, the normal questions every drummer asks themself when they start. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Aug 12,2008 2:49pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] I'm just an overly critical perfectionist towards myself, so I will never be happy at anything I do, ever. Therefore, drumming is almost never a stress free experience for me. haha actually, that was a pretty good realization of why I hate myself. Thank you, rttp. Clarity! |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 12,2008 2:52pm - ouchdrummer ""] nice, usually i get that clarity from psychedelics, but RTTP works... And i totally understand about being that hard on yourself, i find if i record myself doing whatever excercises are on my practice regiment for the week, then listen after i have done them every day for a week it makes me feel a little better cause i can see improvement. But yeah, i get pretty hard on myself too. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Aug 12,2008 3:35pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] When I'm confident enough in my bands' songs I usually start video taping them so I can see little inconsistencies I miss while I'm playing. Right now I need to get my 6 stroke rolls louder and more consistent, work on my left hand rimshot blasts, single stroke 4 on bass drum, doubles on bass drum, etc. Lot o' stuff on my drumming to-do list. And that's just chops. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 12,2008 3:41pm - archaeon ""] you suck |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 12,2008 3:44pm - ouchdrummer ""] oh yeah, my list goes on for miles.. And i think that will never change, seeing as when i finish doing an excercise (i usaully do em for about two months, every day for 15min-2hours, depending on how important it is, or how far from doing it i am) i figure out three more variations of it i should be doin. Never ending cycle, but that's what makes it so rewarding i think, the fact that there limit to how much you can put into it. |
| _____________________________ [Aug 12,2008 3:46pm - mOe ""] i wish i lived in a situation where I could setup my kit and jam daily, i kinda could but we share our house with two other people...i dont think they'd like that |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 12,2008 3:57pm - ouchdrummer ""] no, it never works in a house or apartment where there are other people. Even roomates kills it, they might say they're ok with it, but when it gets down to the nitty gritty and your practicing four hours a day, they fucking lose it. They come up with excuses as to why "Nows not a good time" or "I have a headache" or "i just got in a car accident and have a concussion, could you NOT do blast beats for 4 hours"... so on and so fourth. anyways i wake up every day grateful that i took the job living in the practice space, sure the bands playing at 2:30am are irritation, cleaning up bands puke/diareaha sucks/so does kicking out drunk assholes picking fights in the halls. (my place IS in southie) but being able to do flam excercises before i shower in the morning for work is priceless. |
