Once maybe. But if you want people to take you seriously, get yourself sorted out. You come across as a fucking stupid kid.

Y'know i'm will actually make a valid fucking attempt at sparing what cash i can and pick up a few new things the day if i can. My leads always go on me and i haven't got the means to mend them. More often that not it aint because i've forgotten them, it's just i don't have one.
As for the plectums aye, i lost my fucking wallet wich used to be packed with them and never bothered getting another one so i lost the habit of bringing them. I'll admit im very fucking bad at that.

ArchFlameTera · 11th April 2006, 01:55 PM

think theres been once or twice, out of around 50 gigs ive played that ive forgotten a lead.

i just keep everything in my bag in there permanantley, so i can pick it up straight away.

if leads break on you all the time, why dont you buy a good one, and coil it up properly at the end of a gig, if you wrap leads from your hand to your elbow it fucks them, if you bundle them into a bag in a tangled mess that fucks em too.

If you've got a soldering iron (or know someone that has one) you can make quality leads for about 3 or 4 bucks each.

If you cant afford 3 or 4 quid then you should try going up to folk in the street and telling them you need a pound so you can get the bus to the hospital to see your dying mum, works everytime...

pop punk + double bass doesn't work... learn how to double beat with a single pedal

it makes it easier to check you have your equipment when your bankrolled by daddy and mumsie.....

and for the double bass comment, you are the only person to mention this to us...and I dont agree, and I dont think you are one to judge drumming styles when you are the one that did the same fill every few seconds in every song..

Or its called working for a year, and then buying it when you can afford it.

My mum and dad have bought me NOTHING from my kit thats in my room right now.

Plenty of pop-punk drummers use a double bass pedal.

I don't mind receiving constructive critiscm (although if you want to be a cheeky bastard about it I won't pay attention). I've had plenty of people say they really like my playing as well so I know I'm doing something right.

i'm not a big fan of double pedals used where a single pedal could be, i don't think it sounds good.
Fair enough for blastbeats and fast metal drumming, but if its just for going "boom chh boom boom che" really fast then it just sounds lazy. I'm not slagging off your drumming Ian, i think you are a good drummer and improving at a tremendous rate. It's just lazy double kick players in general. Yeah it sounds gimmiky and you can make people think 'woah, he's really fast' but any drummer can see it doesnt take much skill. There is definately a place for double kick as long as it is used tastefully.

This comment makes me think of Trashlight Vison. theres a song that use's it only at the end and it fits in perfect. Double bass in songs that are of a moderate tempo reallys needs to be placed in well otherwise yeah, it dose sound out of place...
and this aint a dig at you Either Ian, you guys shud know i like 3TR.

Zildjiain · 12th April 2006, 08:44 AM

I have actually been working on heel-toe for a while now, I just can't do it.
I know there's some parts in songs where I'm pretty lazy about using double bass instead of a quick double on one pedal, but I hardly use it at all in the 4 new songs, only in the occasional blast beat and fills.

I forgot my voice at the gig last night. Bad for a backup singer...but no biggie.

nothing at all ???.... *if thats true then i take back the previous comment*

as far as double bass goes...both you and sean jumped on that like it was an attack !! -- it wasn't it was an opinion... i don't think it sounds right with your stuff !

Keerin · 13th April 2006, 09:44 AM

I'm a total shit for borrowing stuff. My cybals are shite and until i get a job i have no means to replace them. I'm always on the lookout for someone to lend me theirs during a set. bad, i know.

cheers guys.
