  1. 1. Do you do the "Ping!!"? Or "Ting!!"? Or "Ding!!"?

It's very distressing that on a forum of Rush fans we only have ten members who ping all the time, four who ping some of the time, and :facepalm: two who don't know what I am talking about. :facepalm:

 

And an untold number of others who apparently don't care about their civic duty as Rush fans...

 

:yes: Very distressing. :(

I never know what you are talking about.

 

Are you speaking about llamas?

 

:o

 

You don't like Hemispheres anyway if I recall. So you get a pass.

 

The Ping!!! part in the Prelude is what I am talking about. :)

 

I love HEMISPHERES!

 

I just don't rank it as high as most here...butni easily could!

Only sometimes. I don't listen to Hemispheres very much, because after Prelude the whole song goes to s***. I did do it live in Newark.

I didn't have a clue what we were talking about until I played Hemispheres and caught it. I do the "ding" every time and move my finger in the air and I didn't even realize that was the "ding."

The "ding" reminds me of an idea popping up in Neil's head, perhaps sensing trouble with the trees...

Omg Lorraine it's not a ping it's a ding!! Real Rush fans and dialup divas alike should know this!! Lol

 

I'm going to assume it's Neil who does that awesome ding! As for the "ping' maybe check with Portnoy. . :D

is this the part in Hemispheres where Neil hits the triangle?

For the technically curious, it's not a triangle, but a crotale, which is a small Tibetan cymbal, usually found on pairs as a finger-held "ting" machine...

...or as part of larger orchestral set..

Rock drummers will use a single one (like this one made by Zildjian) as part of their kit...

To me, it's more a Ting! than a "Ding", but yes, nearly all the time.

Ting is Irish for "Thing"...so Ye'll have to leave that Ting alone

I like Hulk's new haircut.

Well, this is supposed to be a throwback to the early days. So technically, it's his old haircut.
