I hope it works out for you! What kind of music do you play? Peace.

MRX....a hearty well done. I've asked these same exact questions myself. Some answers i get are that cultural differences exist between then and now. This is very true. But I ask why are those same reasonings not applied to where we are today in the U.S. and the world? To me, the guy that...

I think greatness come from being able to speak through your instrument, in whatever language that happens to be. Technical proficiency equals understanding of the language. If you can't play well, you don't have much to say. If you don't understand what people like Vai, Satriani, Petrucci, or...

I use some 2" thick blue upholstery foam in my kick. It's a Pearl ELX 22". The faom sits on the bottom 1/4 of the drum and just touches both heads. I'm not big on really boomy kicks, which is why I dampen mine. I cut a 4" hole in the reso, and the drum sounds fine. Everyone who hears it like...

Go to the music store and try out as many guitars as they have. See if any fit your hands, as in, see how comfortable they are to you. The most important part of buying a guitar is liking how it feels. You may come to the conclusion that strats are what you like. Have an open mind. Plug them...

I'll try to answer both questions at once so you can see what I mean, apl. You have labeled the world "lost". You label others "sinner". This implies that you are somehow more enlightened and on some higher spiritual plane than everyone else. That mentality, meaning labeling others who are not...

You guys still don't get it, and probably never will, And i'm done trying to explain. I'll leave you to work out your own salvation. Please do me the favor, and everyone else you meet as well, by allowing me to do the same thing. I must try to raise one more point though. Nowhere in my...

Sorry to be so blunt, whattaguy, but nowhere in your quote does it mention your name. You are not the author of my salvation. Nor is anyone else. My world does not revolve around the twisted misinterpretation of scripture by well meaning but misguided people. I don't need you to validate my...

Without accurate timing from the drummer, everyone else will be struggling to match his mistakes. This is not good. He should learn to get along with a click or scratch track that is in time. It's not difficult, it just takes a bit of practice. I'd have to say, if you want a decent result, have...

So let me get this straight, apl and Danobi.... There is a formula for reaching God? I was never aware of such a formula. It sounds like going to the phone company to pay your bill, so you can keep your service connected, as it were. Pointing out the speck and pointing a finger while saying...

No worries, Danobi. I was just making my case on a subject that I enjoy talking about. You can PM me and we can discuss this further if you like, so as not to sideswipe this thread. Peace.

Danobi... Jesus also said "judge not, lest you be judged". He went on to ask "how can you remove the splinter from your brothers eye when you have the whole board in your own?" Did he not also state that no one sin is greater than another? As in, homosexuality is no worse than arrogance, or...

Fusion... No worries man. I've come to alot of realizations since '98 when I left that church behind. I realize that I don't believe things the way most christians do. I don't look at Jesus' teachings quite so literally. I don't look at the book in general so literally. I don't look to man for...

I was involved in "christian" music for awhile. I was in a P&W band for a small church in Phoenix, then I went to do sound at a big church in L.A. Both of those gigs were an absolute nightmare. We would play in Phoenix for homeless people every Saturday night. That is, until TBN was showing up...

I had some of those Emad things too. I did'nt like them much. They really did'nt seem to do a whole lot on my drums. I took them off pretty quickly. I guess I just came to the conclusion that for me, tuning and technique were more important than buying more stuff.

Nope, was'nt an Ambassador. It's an EmporerX. Coated, 2 plies, with reverse dot. Very thick head. Those sound quite dead unless you tune them pretty tight. I tuned it to where the glue was cracking audibly. Then it sounded nice, and very loud. I think it'd be better on a deeper snare than my...

Different heads will make different sounds on the same drum. I decided to try a Remo EmporerX after using single ply heads on my snare and it really choked up my snare. I had to crank that head down hard to get good sound out of it. You might try something 2 ply instead of a single ply. Also try...

I agree 100% with that, csus7. Most consumers don't realize that those companies build what they build at the behest of western companies. And by buying those goods, they end up keeping others in a bad situation, such as in sweatshops and dangerous workplaces. In essence, the amerikan consumer...

I'm in Ballard, csus7. So let me get this straight. Because a number of people say that Chinese labor is only worth 30 cents an hour, it's less racist? I don't follow your logic. A number of people, as you yourself claim, say that amerikan workers are underworked and over paid. So then that...

"I'm starting to see who the real Anti-Americans are around here" "As soon as you guys see the Made In USA Label, or even worse, a union label, you immediately think it was made by overpaid and underworked bozos." "Of course, none of you guys are overpaid or underworked for your daily bread"...
