Metric - On a Slow Night -
Since no one is responding to my other thread in open Discussion, maybe you guys can rate my drumming. From the other topic: I recently hooked up with my dad to do some drum practice and try recording some stuff. So here I have, for your appraisal, 3 tracks of me busting out my drum skills. I'll tell you right now that I usually sound better, as I'm not used to my dad's kit, and his bass pedals were REALLY different from mine, so in Everything is Automatic, try to ignore the really bad bass. Everything is Automatic: http://s65.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2FMZ0T9...0I1CYFJU5IQXYLR This is....decent. I screw up a few times, but I just wanted to show you guys my approach to the chorus, which I think is really cool. I'm mostly refering to the part during the "it's always what I wanted...." Let me know what you think. Come Over by Limblifter: http://s65.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3OL06DD...EG2U5U7Z1MX1CMB This one is pretty true to the record, though I change a few arrangements, and near the end I just start dicking around, so ignore that. Though if you skip to about 3:00 I like what I'm doing there. Try Honesty by Billy Talent: http://s65.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2ZAC4DN...ZG2KPBEBVRC3R63 Techinically, this is probably the best one, and I screw up like, maybe twice. It's pretty good and I like it. So if you're only gonna listen to on of these, make it this one. I know Billy Talent is one of those bands thats frowned upon, but this song is fun as hell to drum too. Thanks for listening to these if you did, and pllllease give me some feedback.

Oh, and some people were having trouble playing these. If they don't work upon clicking, just drag the file into iTunes and it should be fine.

Not for just ONE bus stop though right? Cuz that would be ridiculous.

What's the difference between havings guts and having balls? Having guts is when a guy comes home at 5am after a night out drinking with his buddies, sees his wife at the front step with a broom in hand ready to murder him, and says "are you just cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?" Having balls on the other hand... Is when the same guy comes home at 5am, except this time there's lipstick on his collar and the smell of perfume. His wife is still ready to kill him. He looks at her, pats her on the shoulder, and says "don't worry, you're next." Heh, I've got a more if you liked that one, though the rest will be pretty tasteless, and I dunno the NF rules about slightly racist/sexist/everyoneist jokes. Oh shit! on another note, did you guys hear about that new camping movie? It's intense!! (ba dum-chh) Heh, I also love this one, though for som reason no one else thinks its funny: An old man and his passengers are pulled over by a police car. The old man tells the officer he just won 5000 dollars in a seatbelt contest. "What are you gonna do with the money?" The officer asks. "Well, I was thinking I would get my driver's licence." the old man replies. The woman in the passenger seat laughs nervously. "Oh, don't listen to him, officer," she says, punching the old guy lightly in his arm. "he's such a kidder when he's drunk." The young man in the backseat sighed heavily. "God, I KNEW we wouldn't get far in a stolen car!" Then there's a knock from the trunk, and a muffled voice says, "Are we over the border yet?"

That's REALLY weird....

I like the harmonica, but the rest of the song....meh, it just seems painfully average and the sound/instrument quality is severely lacking. Sounds like you used a shitty tape recorder in a basement, but all in all, it's not bad. I really like the ending. On another note, with the Haven't Slept in Years cover, does anyone else hear someone having sex in the background? Some guy is squealing about "reena, REENA!" or something. It's weird. Edit: Getting more in depth, during the first verse, your drummer's use of cymbal bells is atrocious. It just sounds like garbage. Get him to play it quiter or not at all. A simple high hat strike would probably work better than the ride or whatever it is he's using. The more I listen to this, the more I like it though. The harmonica is chillin

Drummers That Will Kick Your Ass

Oh! The drummer for Godsmack is quite good actually. Godsmack? Yeah, I think it's them. He's a skinny guy with a lot of tatoos... -

I've been plying drums for about 2 years (self taught) and yeah, Neil Peart is the ultra-god. -
You know what's weird? The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows.

Apparitions .... .... .... AHHH! Sort of a Protest Song. I suppose. But that was retarded.
-
Well that sounds less innapropriate than mine. Let the man have his picture! Also, if anyone was offended by my pic, I apologize, though really, it's not THAT bad. It's just the human body guys, c'mon. Meow.

I had them and then deleted them, but they're easy to find on the hub. Personally, I hated all of them. Does anyone like em?
-
I haven't even seen this 'controversial' picture, but it sounds exactly like mine. Shirtlessness, extreme drunkeness...
-
Man, when I was a kid I had a craaazzzzy imagination. Not only did I have imaginary friends, I had imaginary enemies and I had imaginary battles with them using my imaginary super powers. I'm not joking at all.

hahaha, a buddy of mine has the biggest fridge I've seen in my life. It's this huge black...appliance. We call it the Monolith. It's practically a walk-in!

That cuts so deep... I actually just got a new computer and that's the only picture I could find and I wanted to be on the banner. So quit hatin`.
