discord on Greg Saunier on Creativity and Drumming

2011-12-16T08:43:14.426124-07:00-0700

Agreed. His advice was essentially him expressing how he got over some mental crutch that he leaned on. One does not have to remove a drum from the kit to refrain from hitting it. Also, he's sloppy as hell, which is fine for hipster indie music or whatever, but it definitely contributes to his feeling that drumming is like a marathon or biking or whatever. The best drummers can play forever without getting tired. He's giving preference to showmanship over economy of motion. I can't get behind that.

Where can one view supporters of the bill so we know to vote against them in coming elections? Along those lines, why don't we name and shame those reps?

discord on Do you think drumming is more innate to those who are good at it or can it be mastered by practice?

2011-11-22T06:19:04.363310-07:00-0700

It is a fallacy that some people are just "born with it." However, people learn different things at different speeds. Some are more adept learning drumming, for example. Nobody starts out good. Just about any instrument can be mastered through practice. You just gotta put in your 10,000 hours.

Wow, that's pretty blatant ripoff of Sabbath.

discord on Ghost - Con Clavi Con Dio - Not sure if this is stonerrocky enough or not, but I think you guys will appreciate this more than r/metal.

2011-11-08T17:06:15.657445-07:00-0700

Damn, what an anticlimax. They build up this unholy atmosphere and then open with a generic bluesy riff. Their getups don't jive with their sound. Sunn O))) does it better.

discord on Down-tuning question

2011-08-14T07:13:24.450140-07:00-0700

You're right, but he mentioned Meshuggah and they tuned to F# on their newest one, so he's gonna need bigger than 12s.

Slap on a pair of 14s. Adjust neck accordingly.

And here's the floor tom: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3628/3384953855_8bff18701c_z.jpg Never seen anything like that. Is it really just two drums on top of each other or do some drums come like that? I like how they don't require drum hardware. They are free-standing rack/floor toms. I imagine it makes a bigger sound, too.
