    thanks. I'm thinking about picking up a kit this Friday but I'm unsure if my brain can work with percussion. Writing beats for all of the different drums doesn't make much sense to me. I'm going to give it a shot and see how it turns out and worst case I have a kit so an actual drummer can head...

    This is, kind of, the first track that I'm working on for my album where I'm not attached to anyone else's project. It needs some work but I finally got a decent recording of it. First time run through with all strings and about the tenth on the drum but it's the first time that I've ever played...

    that was ridiculous when he Jedied that. This show is just stupid amounts of fun to watch. That knife probably has + to some wizard skill and Dean is going to have to trade in the Impala to pay for rerolling it.

    does anyone have experience with cocktail drum kits? I need a small kit for the corner of my studio for secondary drum tracks and filler and was thinking about picking one up and sticking a normalish sized snare and tom on it. Also, what would be a good set of all around mics for drums, amps and...

    28mm Miniature Tabletop Wargaming Thread

    I always felt that the strong point of Warmahordes was that each army is very adaptable to situation and play style. They all have a core strong suit and grabbing a box set you'll get a good idea of what that is but throwing an extra few model sets, individuals and caster combos into it you can...

    Dean's payday rap was great but I genuinely can't watch through an entire episode anymore. Shirley is a fucking terrible character and any arc with her in it is nails on a chalkboard. I wish that she was a semi successful rapper so she would leave and I could watch an episode of Community...

    The Secret World

    Egypt had its moments but they were spaced out to the point where I ended up rushing towards the end and just cheesing the last boss to move on. I agree that nothing in the game felt as fleshed out as the first zone. Even being in mostly the same setting for all three areas I kept forgetting...

    Thor Von Clemson taught me everything that I know also, fucking pedal steels. This thing is harder than an accordion to play. The extra notation is fucking insane.

    finally found a pedal steel for a not insane price, picking it up this weekend so I'll be spending much time working on my slide shortly. Those things sound terrifying run through distortion pedals.

    I didn't really know much about Ginger Baker going into this other than about Cream and Blind Faith but it ended up being a crazy story. The full doc is on Netflix. A Band Called Death about a proto punk band from Detroit and Soldiers of Paint about these guys that recreate the battle of...

    The Monuments Men - [Holy fucking cast!]

    So this is some pretty well worn hyperbole concerning movies but this was one of the worst movies that I have ever seen. It might be due to a great cast being completely wasted but this felt like it was a movie made by someone who didn't know how to make a movie. Really weird pacing. They did...

    MIM strat or, if you can snipe one, MIJ strats are usually only $100 - $200 more, are on par with American quality and are only going to be missing a few of the really high end extras that you're not really going to need to be handing to a beginner anyways. You'll also get a slow burn...

    The only for sure thing that I learned in college is that if you're a girl and you play guitar you have an Ovation so there must be something to the fact that 100% of girl musicians that I've ever met own one.

    I was setup for post rock before, a ton of echo and reverb and several inline overdrives through a Fender 4x10 hotrod with a Telecaster Plus Deluxe. I'll probably stick with the Tele as a utility guitar since it's kind of chameloen and plays a lot faster than any other Tele that I've picked up...

    Anybody have any experience with old Ampeg amps? I was thinking about picking up a 70's V4 but have only ever heard bass players play through Ampegs. Right now I'm using a Fender hotrod deluxe 112 but I definitely am going to need an upgrade in the next month for playing out again and was...

    metal, the favored music of 15 year olds, 30 year olds with the same jobs as 15 year olds and drunken indians. Really groundbreaking bands generally micro categorize themselves and play shitty off brand guitars in order to get equipment sponsorships.

    I'd say leave the natural on that LP , looks really nice and it's unique. That case looks like you could drop it off of a building and open it to find an in-tact and in tune guitar.

    dammit, I was going to respond the other night then thought ,"who the fuck am I to respond about having confidence in being a good player", then i watched those sweep arpeggio videos and now I'm in the same boat. In the past I just played with people and that maintained my confidence. I...

    There's a rocksmith package that comes with an Epiphone guitar for $200, might be the best option. It's a pretty bare bones looking guitar and probably plays like a brick but $200 for everything probably can't be beat if you're looking for a cost efficient way to get her everything that she'd...

    finally found a Gretsch corvette for a reasonable price and bought it but now I get to freak out for the week while the thing is in transit. I'm glad that the guy insured it but I'm not thrilled about the possibility of trying to find a replacement if the post office fucks up a 45 year old...

    I bought Rocksmith 2014 too about a week ago. There are a ton of songs on it that i have to learn for my work band and I figured this would be more useful than grabbing a hundred different sheet musics. I'm kind of torn on the game. I've learned a lot of songs a lot quicker than I would have...

    ASOIAF is a fun mod but it falls under the same trap as vanilla in that you get really strong really fast and the fights start to become trivial. It's still pretty fun to be able to mercilessly roll over the Lannisters. I would really like to find something similar to PoP as well where they at...

    Woman who was getting her box munched on in public now claiming rape

    It logically still makes sense although it's a stupid argument. If we go by the precedence that anything done while drunk is removed from having personal responsibility attached then a DUI would still hold since you are basically waiving the requirements for your license; being personally...

    the new shift+right click for assigning indefinite jobs seems like it might be bug #4 on your list and also probably be directly related to your bug #3.

    The bandits will indeed proceed to still ruin your shit even if you lock yourself in a building. I think that they either just beat the door down or it actually doesn't lock for them but I remember doing the same thing with my first group and having 4 bandits beat the crap out of my team of...

    that's pretty much it and your guys even suck at that in the beginning. Starting off you really need to exploit a bit to get on your feet.
