"Drummers"

I'm just interested to know who else plays the drums on the forums? I know Emitime does as well, but who else?

I'd have shoved this in the Music forum, but it may reach more people this way.

For show i guess, with the future possiblity of mad skillz

Ah, a good point.

I got an acoustic guitar a couple of years ago; learnt a few chords and stuff, and thought 'this doesn't do much for me', so I bought an Electric.

I just haven't got round to selling the acoustic one yet, and anything I do learn is learnt on the Electric.

I don't know about schorching either, I said schmokin' :)

My friend has a good set-up, Mapex kit in a lovely aquamarine and cream combination

He has a couple of splashes, a few high-hats, bass drum (very nice sound), a ride and another drum (can't remember the name at all :( )

He's grade 8. I myself am a complete novice, play occassionally. The drums to some RATM and SOAD isn't too bad, until they start picking up speed, that's me finished

My kit is smelly and pooey, TBH, had it since I began. The kit I would like goes thus: [URL]http://www.drumcentral.com/images_tama_rsc/tama_rp522edf_ccf.jpg[/URL]

I have a crash, a ride, a splash and obviously a pair of 'hats.

My crash rules; 'tis an Octagonal Sabian AAX Cymbal called a Rocktagon. It was made on request, how cool is that? My Splash is a Paiste, the ride came with the kit, as did the hats.

Don't know about scorching, but most songs (that aren't Slipknot or Dream Theater, as the drums are ridiculous) I can have a good go at.

Fills = Drums
Riffs = Guitar

So we're on drums now (fill) :P

If you're nearly grade 8 you must be schmokin', how many drums and symb.(s) does your kit have?

We're on drums now, yeah?

If so, then yes, I'm a fairly good drummer I guess. At the moment I'm learning Grade 8 drums, so after thids grade, I am not longer 'learning to play the drums', I am a 'drummer'.

Syncapation is cool, espeically opening the hi-hat on the off-beats as well; sounds really funky, especially if you swing the cymbal (right hand) rhythm.

Can you play any of the more complex Fills, with that 'unsyncipation' (or something like that) rythm?

It's basically not a steady rhyme

I'm with you.

remember, me = drummer.

Time signatures are the only things I actually know anything about :-p

EDIT: Heh, just learnt the intro to Just A Day by Feeder. 'Twas simple yet fun.

I can play a mix; Sabbath, Nirvana, RATM on Power chords and also the slightly harder All Along the Watchtower in Chords (hard because of weird 12-3 12-3 type timing. Hard to explain)
