AnsweredBapu's (and others) random thoughts for the day.

G'day, folks.
I just finished putting up my drumkit, and played it through SONAR with EZ Drummer Metal Basic kit 
 

Just have to cut and put a carpet under it for traction..

 

Bubba, you drink coffee like Ken drinks beer....by the gallon?
 
I have a vegetable peeler......wait....it's just a becan slicer...NVM.

Now, when you jam along with Ramstein, the neighbors won't get that (live drums) concert experience?

I haven't put carpet under yet, so I slid around on the floor playing But it's goodanough for me
I have tried to play out of my monitors, so the neighbours might get more than they'd like
But really looking forwards to getting to use it on my own stuff
Plus I'm getting IK ARC2 in a week or so
If I take the migraines away, this has so far been an excellent week

Mmmmhhhh.... Becan (slicer)..

Having your drum kit slide away is part of the experience. Chasing that kick drum around the stage is half of the fun. My favorite was trying to play while trying to keep my ride cymbal from taking off in the wind. Sure, having a 20" cymbal slicing through the crowd would have added a surreal element to the show, but I wasn't done using it.

Shirley, you're not serious?
 
Ride cymbal taking off in the wind? Really? for reals?  

Yep, that's a good start there Ken!  I remember buying the smallest kit Roland made, but I couldn't stop adding things until it was completely maxed out.  Next time I'll start with the larger kit!

If I was a drummer, I'd probably agree.
I've had to chase my hi hat on stage a few times, and didn't enjoy it much
My "rubber drums" would probably not kill anyone

Nice! I've already thought about upgrades to mine

Starting by getting a floor fan?
 
 

 
 

For Reals, Mesh.
 
I was playing an outdoor gig one time (at a small town Octoberfest) when the wind was fairly strong. I had to keep grabbing my ride cymbal (or it's stand) to keep it from flying away. The wind caught it just right to give it some lift while other cymbals just waved madly. Some people crowded closer and started taking pictures, apparently hoping to get a glimpse of some real Death Metal. (Not the genre we were playing, by the way.) Unfortunately, they never got that chance and I was able to finish the gig. Since this predated social media, Internet, and Fire, none of the pictures survived. I still have the cymbal, although it's somewhat shredded. 

Werd!!

Speaking of windy.....I played air drums once and almost broke my nose. Luckily, it was a short gig.

I suffered an air guitar injury once. Nailed the solo from the floor behind the bed, though. 

I also had an air double post once. It didn't count, not that it matters.

An improvement from the guitar solo no doubt?

Does carpet actually work for you?  My kick and hi-hats slide on carpet, just not as much.  I've got the little prickly dealies driving into the fiber...still doesn't stop them.
 
But you know what does?  Screwing them down to a piece of plywood.  And it works out since that means when I break down and set up I get my pedals and stands in the perfect spot, right where I like them.  
 
Just a suggestion....enjoy!

I have some velcro under the kick and the hi hat, so it's not so bad.
But I'll try your suggestion. Sounds like a god plan.
Just wondering how much alterations i'm "allowed", since on holidays, it's my oldest son's room
All the best.

I'm always impressed that drummers can do the same thing over and over and over and over and not get board. 

1) I'm Impressed that Voda actually visited the FSF and posted a "true" helpful post (well done, we aint never seen the likes of ya'll in here) 
 
2) I'm even more impressed at how quickly Voda looped his drums posts to get the TOTP.
 
Impressive I say!!!

Hey, peeps! Good day.
What's new in the world?

I had a nice, short commute this morning. Instead of the usual 1 1/2 - 2 hours, I got to the office in only an hour. I plan to use the extra time drinking coffee. 
 
I'm gonna carpe that diem. 

Good morning gents!!
 
I still need my fix of coffee/breaky.....only Starbuck is close by....I might have to settle for
 

I sees  the diem too.
 
I'm not liking what I sees.

Do we have to take per diem, one day at a time....or can we add a few here and there?

Try closing your eyes, Bapu. The day always looks better that way. The other drivers will be happy to provide audible clues to their presence, so you won't miss anything. 

Going to try that..........on my way to Starbucks.
