So your a street musician huh?

Amrawco — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 13:56:27 GMT

I dont have two years of Berkley under my belt, no teachers have mentored me etc. I grew up on the street of hard knocks musically. Simple question here, youve got two weeks to learn 20 tunes and your on stage doing them. OK, its not Steve Vais band nor is it replacing Vinnie for a Jeff Beck tour. The tunes are simple enough but breaks and instrument intros are scattered throughout the list. My plan was the only one i had and that was intense listening and complete memorization for the most part.

Not knowing even basic reading became my personal hell during this period. The gig is tonight and ive felt like ive taken a postal exam each day for two weeks. How do YOU write things out if under this situation. Thanks for some company in my misery.

State taxes

Amrawco — Sat, 03 May 2008 11:36:10 GMT

This is more a rant than a topic but does anyone know WHY when ive worked in another state other than the state i reside in they STILL want to dig in your pockets!. I just sent in 150.00 (additional) dollars because my employer hadnt been taking out quite enough from my residing state. Do they feel that i somehow owe them my living for one reason or another?. Every now and then ill watch the senate meetings on CNN and it enrages me that these power hungry wanna be screw ups have any control whatsoever in the lives of Americans. SO...we had a chance at individual freedoms with a couple of presidential candidates but as it is and may forever be we blew it. Whoever sits in office i hope the voters suck it up when they are disappointed 6 months down the line with their decision.

Drumming injuries

fugga_dugga — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 20:29:59 GMT

Hey guys, I gotta question for ya. I joined a band about 6 months ago and we have been gigging 2-4 times a month. We play 40 +/- songs a night. It is mostly 80s rock stuff. Here is my question. My index finger on my right hand (Im right handed) keeps splitting The skin is actually tearing a little bit, which kind of hurts I have no idea what to do to stop this.

I am using wood sticks, with no tape or anything on them. I am 99% sure my grip is technically very good, and I am not gripping the sticks too tight. Any ideas on what I can do to lessen the tearing?

I am thinking about using Stickum or something to see if that helps. I am outta ideas.

Holla! :hehe:

OT: Jesus was a juvenille

O-Lugs — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 19:29:21 GMT

I have learned through all the well-known paintings and sculptures, that Jesus started out life looking just like a cherub who later became a white man with blue eyes and reddish-brown hair and a well-manicured beard. No wonder he stood out so well in his own community back then! That aside...

Why isn't there any information about toddler Jesus, middle-school Jesus and especially TEENAGE Jesus? What was Jesus like when he was at that awkward phase (puberty), etc. And, if Jesus had playmates as a kid and they all had to pick teams, then would Jesus get picked first or not? What if his team lost? Would it be because he let them lose?

When did Jesus first discover that he was the direct-manifestation of God in human form? I say it was when he was a teenager. And I speculate that he could have been using his powers to gain friendships...You know how teenagers are.

We only know about Baby Jesus and grown-man Jesus from the Bible. Like, DUH!

Well here is a little recap of what is going on with my kit and muscians friend.back on 12-11,i had ordered a sonor force 3005 5 piece kit all maple in black, ,I had asked the lady when I placed my order 4 times if this kit was black and of course she said it was..well...sent me a red sparkle kit instead...well, when I got home from work that night I got on the phone with a supervisor from musican's friend and THOUGHT I had worked it all out.They sent me out the ups labels to send the first kit back,let me keep all the hardware from the first kit,and let me upgrade to a 6 piece kit fot the same price.Okay I think cool,so after calling about once a week to check the status of my order and explain to all the kids there what was going on(upgraded from a 5 to 6 piece since they screwed up)talked again to a superviser on 1-11.He told me that the warehouse had not released the first kit because the was no notation on the kit for the missing hardware.So all this time the kit is on back order.He tells me that half the kit is there and the other half is still back ordered.I'm like wtf how can you have a half a kit on back order.So I quess betwwen 12-11 and 1-11 they had the order on hold because of the hareware issue.After I got off the phone on 1-11 I recieved a e-mail saying that my order had been placed and it was on back order.What should I do?Should I call there and raise holly hell about this?I feel like everytime I call they are like let's look on the computer today and see what's going on.If i didn't get such a good price on this kit i would problably cancel the order and tell to FO.

Called them today,i asked the accounts manager that I talked to who was in charge of the managers and he very,very reluctantly said a guy named Paul Christianson.If anyone know's this guys ext. let me know...please.i was told(by the accounts manager when I asked for pauls ext) that everybody there is capable of handling anything wiether he is a manager or not.Okay if the kit is on back order that's fine,But they can't even tell when the kit will be ordererd.here's the deal I got.Sonor Force 2007 Stage 3 shell pack

Buddy Miles passes

Bill Christy Project — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 06:58:16 GMT

Buddy Miles, the rock and R&B drummer, singer and songwriter whose eclectic career included stints playing with Jimi Hendrix and as the lead voice of the California Raisins, the animated clay figures that became an advertising phenomenon in the late 1980s, has died. He was 60.

Miles died Tuesday of congestive heart failure at his home in Austin, Texas, according to an announcement on his website.

A massive man with a distinctive, sculpted afro, Miles hit his peak of popularity when he joined Hendrix and bassist Billy Cox to form Hendrix's Band of Gypsys, which the New Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll called "the first black rock group." Miles had played with Hendrix on the guitarist's influential "Electric Ladyland" album released in 1968.

The Band of Gypsys made just one album, a live set recorded on New Year's Eve in 1969-70, and two of Miles' songs, "Them Changes" and "We Got to Live Together," were included on the album. He gave the recording a memorable drum riff on one of Hendrix's signature songs, "Machine Gun."

But, according to Miles, the Band of Gypsys association was brief and stormy. He told The Times in 1988 that Hendrix's management, not the guitarist himself, fired him within a month of the concert. He thought Hendrix's managers were leery of continuing with an all-black group.

"It had to be a racial thing," Miles told The Times. "I think it had to scare them because of the political aspect at the time."

Miles was born Sept. 5, 1947, in Omaha. He developed an interest in drums at an early age and by 12 was playing in his father's jazz combo. Within a couple of years he was in demand as a session player and a sideman, working with top-name R&B groups, including Ruby and the Romantics and the Delfonics. According to the Rolling Stone encyclopedia, he played on the session that produced the Jaynetts' 1963 hit "Sally Go Round the Roses."

While playing with Wilson Pickett in 1967, he was approached by guitarist Mike Bloomfield, who asked him to join the blues, rock and soul group Electric Flag. Miles played on three of the band's albums before forming his own group, the Buddy Miles Express, in 1968. Next came his association with Hendrix.

Over the years, Miles recorded two albums with Carlos Santana, one of which went platinum, and worked with other leading music figures, including Muddy Waters and John McLaughlin. He re-formed the Buddy Miles Express in the mid-1970s and had a hit with his song "Them Changes."

By the late 1970s, however, Miles' career came to a halt over convictions for grand theft and auto theft. He served time in the California Institution for Men at Chino and at San Quentin State Prison. He was incarcerated until 1985 and formed bands at both prisons.

After he was released, he sang with Santana's group and got the raisin gig while working on an album with the guitarist. The popular television commercials for the California Raisin Advisory Board featured a quartet of singing and dancing Claymation figures with Miles, as Buddy Raisin, doing the lead singing covering Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine."

The commercial's popularity spawned a million-selling offshoot album of remakes of rock and soul oldies, "The California Raisins Sing the Hit Songs."

Sorry to hear of your troubles. As a divorce survivor I know that it ain't easy. You may not be ready to hear this just yet, but it may well be a blessing in disguise. I know mine was, although I couldn't see it until several years later. Get a good lawyer so you don't get raked over the coals. I wish I had been able to do that.

Play some drums. Take some more lessons, and play some more drums. Hang in there... The closest the band is getting to Pittsburgh (at press time anyway) is to York PA in July.

Snow Skiing

think snow.

Singalongs and Songbooks: Going Back 50 Years.

RonPrice — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:52:05 GMT

This item does not seem to fit in anywhereelse. It's still about music and, if moderators find it should not be in this section they can: (a) delete it or (b) move it to a more appropriate part of this site.-Ron Price, Tasmania:cool:

________________________

I'm sure the traditional, once fashionable, sing along, will surface again. I wrote the following summary of my Baha'i and non-Baha'i experience of sing alongs recently. I include this summary below. I wrote this little piece and revised it several times for some internet sites and it has come to serve several purposes. I trust whoever comes upon this brief essay/posting/comment and reads a good part of it will find my words resonate with/in their life somewhat. If these few words(not few enough I hear some add!) don't resonate by, say, the end of this first paragraph, just stop reading and go somewhere else. Sing alongs may not be your cup of tea....I knew a man once who had 3 bags to make his cup of tea. Can you imagine!!

____________________

The first booklets of music in my life, at least those I remember, go back to the early 50s. But the first booklet of music that I put together myself in order to run sing alongs was in the late 1960s at the end of the counter-culture period in North America as some define

that period of time. From about 1953 to 2005, a period of more than 50 years, from the age of about 9 to 60, I was involved in sing alongs in one form or another. In the last ten years, 1997 to 2007, though, sing alongs using booklets of songs I or others whom I knew-or did not know- became rarer and rarer--and eventually non-existent occasions.

In some ways it was fitting that the last three years of sing alongs in my life, 2002-2005, involved very senior citizens. I thought at the time that William Faulkner's spirit may have been present in those sing alongs. I thought, as I led these old folks in song, that the spirit he had when he wrote his now famous book "As I Lay Dieing" may just be at the back of the leisure-social-room where we had our sing alongs. For all these people all lay, sat up or palely loitered about dieing slowly. Each month that I went back to this old folks home during the three years of these sing alongs someone else had died or was on the edge. The term old folks home was what we used to call these places for the old and dieing when I was a kid.

For these last sing alongs in my life, at least to this point in time, the year 2007, I used published songbooks whose content was mainly for a generation born in the first quarter of the twentieth century the earliest years of Bahai activity in Australia, the religion I have been associated with more than 50 years ago. There was material in my one remaining sing along booklet for all age groups, but I never used it, well, only very rarely for the sing alongs here with very senior citizens in George Town. We used publishing company booklets with glossy covers for the sing alongs. Incidentally, George Town is the oldest town in Australia and so it is fitting again that what very well may be the last ray of light on the mountain top of sing alongs in my life has taken place in this town at may also very well be the g-spot of this island comunity I now call home. And it may be, too, a g-spot that few if any ever find and I can enjoy the pleasures of musical silence.

There is no material in my sing along booklets that originated from about 1977 to 2007. The group of humans born in the years after 1970 I have never tried to cater to with songs that came on board in those years. Their musical experience was, for the most part, not mine. My ears, it seemed, had moved on or out or over--or perhaps "back" is the most accurate word. I had moved back to jazz, classical, the top-40 from 1945 to 1975. The only radio-station here in this old town and whose sound I receive on my very old radio with a clarity denied to all other sources plays only top-40 from that period. Period piece music for a period piece person I sometimes think. I did not listen to the music of the generation that was 5 years old in 1975 and 37 this year, at least not much. I did not listed to their music enough to be familiar with their songs and their lyrics and certainly not well enough to sing them in groups informally in the Bahai community and/or in any other communities of which I was a part of as a teacher in primary, secondary and tertiary educational institutions--or, indeed, any kind of institution or non-institution.

But the resources in my personally prepared, tenderly fostered, oft-repeated and used to the point of utterness are here in my files, my collections now kept tightly held together with a big rubber-band for a future time when, and if, sing alongs ever return to my life and to the groups I am involved with as I head into the middle years of late adulthood and, finally, old age. Old age begins, say some human development psychologists, at the age of 80. I've come to like that model since the 1990s sometime for it gives me, now in 2007, another 18 years before I'm actually, officially, or shall I say psychologically, old.

I have multiple copies of what I have come to call secular song booklets for those not familiar with the Bahai musical experience, for the students in classrooms I once had when I used to teach and for other groups who were notin classrooms with whom I used to sing . I have many editions, too, of song books in multiple copy form that I made for Bahai groups, as I say, as far back as the late 1960s. Im sure that these musical experiences called sing alongs will one day return and, when they do, I will be ready with my little bag of tricks. Who knows when and who knows where!

My wife and son became a little tired of hearing the same old stuff back in the 1980s and 1990s. For I need my song sheets; they have been my bible, my crutch, my only hope of ever generating a sing along: everyone with the same pages, the same words, the same everything---well--as samey as one can get, as one needs to get and, indeed, must get, if the folks in the group are ever to sing at all. As my wife and son moved around Australia with me, again and again they would hear--in halls, in homes, in a strange assortment of places-- the same old stuff. Can you blame them for their musical fatigue?

Singing in groups seemed to become passe, perhaps even slightly declasse, in the wider society in those same 1980s and 1990s. But Im sure such singing will return before my demise, my passing from this mortal coil. Anyway, we shall see. If I live to be old, that is to be 80, good-god the sky is the limit. This limit I may never see but then such is life.

Tama ImperialStar Snare Drum

jada — Fri, 12 Nov 2004 04:53:47 GMT

Posted the below message on BWs site, but give it another try here. Good to be back! Kind of agree with the comment about feeling as in a library over at BWs - although the site was otherwise very nice.

________________

Hi guys, some equipment talk. I bought a used 6.5X14 Tama ImperialStar back in 1989 (yes, getting old). The shell is some kind of metal (steel shell?/chrome finish) and the drum has one of those internal muffling devices as well as two snare adjustment knobs. Serial number is 174344. The drum looks like the one in the attachmet (if that works), except from a slightly different snare bed and the sorry fact that my drum aint in this apparent mint condition..

Me being away from drumming for far too many years, the drum has just been in the closet for most of that period. After taking up drumming again about a year ago, I decided to dust the drum and provide it with a new batter head. I just bought the first I came across in the store, which was a coated Remo Ambassador. So I recently replaced the snare drum that came with my Yamaha Stage Custom Advantage set (which I find to be a very nice bang for the bucks).

Cutting to the chase: The drum sounds absolutely fantastic! Cross-stick may even sound too loud unless I restrict myself, and the rimshots has kind of a "soft"/dampened quality, i.e no metallic overtones. Its easy to tune and the two adjustment knobs give me easy access to a variety of sounds. Furthermore, the internal muffling eliminates the need for any rings or pads etc.

So, does anyone else have experiences with this drum, and can anyone - based on the serial number - date the drum for me?

WHAT A LOAD A BULLSHYTE!!!

You THINK WE are the stewrads of this planet? You think this planet "cares" whether or not we (humanity) is here or not? Let me give you MY "revelation":

The Earth is an organism. It's alive....and covered with "mold" (again, humanity). We are like a virus inside the body of the Earth. When the infection gets bad enough, the Earth sends out "antibodies" to rid the infection. We see an increase in Earth's temperature -just the same as a fever works inside the human body -a "fever", if you will.

We are NOT the stewards of this planet. We are the infection. We are the tumor. As with any living thing, we (the infection) also want to survive...and, just like any other infection, we adapt in ways that allow us to overcome certain obstacles that the Earth might send to sweep up off -like hurricanes which (not too surprisingly) look like white corpusels when seen from space....like flooding.....like tornadoes...and even one more "defense" -each other! We are currently wiping large portions of humanity off the globe, OURSELVES! There are other organisms, on a much smaller scale, that also invade us....sending internal "hurricanes" to sweep out all the pollution we put into our bodies.

So, the next time you shake the dust out of a rug, remember to look at the dust floating in the air....because that's just how significant we are in the universe.

All out deaths are guaranteed. We all will die. The Earth will one day be consumed by the Sun. The Sun will burn out its fuel one day....I don't know why you get excited about a revelation that we are all going to die. After all, we have been dying forever. We will continue to die. So what if a rogue comet comes by and takes us off a little sooner than later? So what if a big bomb gets dropped right in the middle of Rio or Seattle? It'll only "hurt" for a second....then....?????

Don't be a bicha, Mario. All that Nostradamus drama is irrelevant. Get out there TODAY and play the drums, get laid...HAVEW SOME FUN! YOU"RE GOING TO DIE "SOON"!!!!

It looks like I am going to be joining a band that has a pretty decent local following. They have a gig in just over 2 months where they will open up for two famous (in their days) bands. Looks like about 20,000 people... So, how do I get my chops back and better then ever with limited time? I started going through that Stick Control book, and played through it with my hands, then feet, yes I am using a double pedal.. :)

Anyway, I am REALLY rusty. I was just looking for advice on how I can increase dexterity and stamina in the quickest possible way.

Go.

:cool:

great video

I was shocked and saddened by the news of Delp's passing. Somehow, I thought he'd live to be a hundred.
