Pathetic thread time!
So, who's spending the weekend in front of the computer working! yay! Who's gonna be joining me pressing F5 on O/T?

Should I get chips, now? I'm hungry.

not me, but it looks like it'll just be me and the dog most of the weekend so I'll be bored
it'll probably be you and I clogging up the interwebs

Me!
I've just finished getting ready and my mate isn't up for going out now. Big homme. I think it's gonna be xbox, pizza and a movie tonight.

What would you have with the chips? Some people I know insist on cheese and gravy it looks vile.

thanks to PoD below
curry and sausage in batter

gravy and chips, no, cheese and chips, only if they are the kind of chips in a polystyrene tray

both together is madness

Sorry I'm a forgetful stoner.
I like Mapex kits, I was all geared up to buy one then a Tama Rockstar Custom sat in the corner of the showroom stole my eye. I sold it to buy a vintage premier which sounds so rich it's awesome. I use all Meinl cymbals now.

Do you favour wooden or steel/other for snare?
(, Fri 24 Sep 2010, 18:20, Reply)
I'll probably go for wooden
I don't particularly like some of the overtones on metal snares.

I got my hands on an old 12" wooden snare a few weeks ago. Pretty rubbish, but I replaced the skins, removed the snares and fitted tom skins, so its a shallow tom now.
(, Fri 24 Sep 2010, 18:23, Reply)
That sounds nice
I had a piccolo snare as a second for a time they are really punchy and zingy. Definitely not an all rounder snare. If I had the money I would be in the Birmingham Drum Centre buying lot's of new toys.

Yeah at one point I had two snares, two rack toms, two floor toms
And a rack of three rototoms. I have stripped down to much less now (wahey)

That's good news, it's fun isn't it. I am gonna have a bash in a minute now I'm not going out. I think it will be headphones on drumming along to something. I am thinking Camaros at the moment.
