when i was joining band in 5th grade i wanted to play the drums and my dad wouldn't let me that little fuck.

marleypumpkin 04.04.2006 12:36 AM

That little fuck, indeed. Why wouldn't he let you?

Steve Shelley:

He is the one drummer that I try & immulate. His fantastic drum rolls mezmerize me whenever I hear a SY song.

I have a 6 piece Pearl Session Series in this color with Sabian and Zildjian cymbals. My all time favorite drummer is John Bonham. I have been playing for 14 years. It gets me off.

I've been wondering where you were Krastian. Finally, I can have a meaningful conversation.

Drumming definetly releases tension of any kind.

I've always wanted a DW set. But, Pearl is a great studio sounding drum set.

krastian 04.04.2006 02:30 AM

Yeah DW's are nice. Dave Grohl played those (not necessarily exclusively). He's prob. my second favorite drummer even though he's been the most influential to me....that shit changed my life.

marleypumpkin 04.04.2006 02:37 AM

I never saw any footage of Dave playing DW's, so that is an interesting fact to me. You mostly saw him play Tama's. Yes, Dave was my first inspiring drummer. I'll always remember what Kurt said about why they picked Dave as their new drummer, "He would the drums harder than anyone I've ever seen."

krastian 04.04.2006 02:43 AM

Here is a nice site that shows a bunch of Dave's sets.

I love this picture of Dave....I have it on my wall.



 

marleypumpkin 04.04.2006 02:48 AM

Fuck Yeah! That's a classic photo. I haven't seen it in a while though. Thanks

I'll go check out that site right now.

marleypumpkin 04.04.2006 03:01 AM

Krastian:

That was a pretty cool little site. Thanks for the link.

marleypumpkin 04.04.2006 10:52 AM

Does anyone else want to discuss drumming? I'm in that knid of mood.

noumenal 04.04.2006 11:02 AM

When I was a boy, I was a triangle virtuoso.

At the age of 12, I performed the famous Babbitt Triangle Concerto with The Philadelphia Orchestra. But I quit that life - the money and women were more than I could handle at such a young age.

marleypumpkin 04.04.2006 11:30 AM

I wish that's how things were in my life.

Sigue Sigue Sputnik had two drummers playing identically, the aim being to achieve the impression of 'a robot kicking down a door'.

I thought you'd like to know.
