It's the bass track for a song he wrote called Morning.  Not even after practicing a little can I play that thing.

Nah, I just wikipedia'd Laplace and that came up.  Damned if I have any idea what that thing means--though I do go to one of the finest high schools in the nation.

And it's called Ushanka now.

Woah...you know what you're playing on it already? That's amazing.

Is Shakes the drummer in this band?  What's your kit like?

I haven't drummed in literally a decade.  I'd like to get an electronic kit someday but for that you need to shell out some serious coin.

Ah.  Then my excuse is that wikipedia didn't exist when I was in high school.  Tongue

I have an electric kit
lol bold claim
I have a second-hand collection of pads you can mount on scaffolds
one of the pedals is so fussy that it can only be played by someone wearing spiked stilletoes
you can assign each pad a ridiculous sample and change its pitch and stuff
kinda neato, but I drum even less well than I formats posts

For Dylan, guitar only track.

I hardly practice, either, Jake.

Lol, silly boy. Do take into the account the advice I gave you in your bring you skill level thread. And also take into account I have taught guitar in the past as well, so I've got some idea of what I'm talking about in terms of teaching instruments like guitar and bass.

My kit is a 6 piece TAMA Bubinga starclassic, previously owned by Bruford. The finish is black with a gold stripe down the centre. It's a sexy piece of sh*t.

It cost me $3200 or $3500 in Canuck dollars, so yeah, that's some serious coin.

That was like me for a long time, until I realised I needed to correct my technique, so off went the computer games and the like, and spent more time practicing, and once you get to a certain level, it's seriously extremely rewarding. But hell, as long as it sounds hilarious on STC, then it ain't badWink

Sweet - in my youth I went crazy accumulating all this sh*t like roto-toms, double pedals, and china-type cymbals, but now I would take a "less is more" attitude.

Yeah, sometimes I want to strip 'er down. The drums, I find, are extremely big, and as you know, Bubinga is an extremely heavy wood, and because of that I find it horribly difficult to get everything exactly where I want it. Also, the way I have everything set up right now kind of awkward. And it's been about a month now with my toms all out of tune, because they're so goddamn hard to tune. I get so frustrated with it that I haven't practiced in almost a month. Every time I sit down to play some, I start tweaking, getting angry, and leave it alone. It's pissing me off.

Wow, I thought my practice habits were bad, but Josh just one-upped me something fierce. 

Gotta love STC.
