    Long time bassist, first drum kit (advice please=)

    in Making Modern Music

    Posted · Edited by TacRedline

    Sam Ash here too wink.gif

     

    A drummer buddy and I have been looking around online and Sam Ash (he's getting a new kit too).

     

    I know what I want to hear in a drum kit but being a smart bass player I am ultimately listening to my drummer friend.

     

    Also note I am bass player but very new to drums, so, I can't really PLAY a kit to hear it (I need someone else to do that lol unsure.gif )

     

    Thanks for all the advice! cool.gif

    the drama continues:

     

    So FedEx delivered 2 boxes this afternoon.

     

    Totally trashed.

     

    The kit was all dinged and scratched to hell, bent cymbals etc.

     

    BLEEP!

     

    So I called SurfCity and Dave there within one hour sent out a replacement *updgraded* Duke kit ($140 more) at no extra charge:

     

    http://surfcitymusic.com/product/HB59-56

    (Plus an extra boom for the ride cymbal like i already ordered)

     

    We already started the claim to FedEx for the damages.

     

    Dave was really cool about it all. Perfect customer service and I can be a hardass about that angry.gif

     

    question 1: What are "HB oil filled mylar heads" ? and should I upgrade the heads to Remo's anyway?

     

    question 2: its there a huge difference between wrapped shells and painted ones?

     

    Once I we get it set up i'll have my (real drummer) friend post what he thinks about the kit...

     

    Thanks trink39.gif

    Maybe the debt is the burden of being doomed to repeating ourselves because we don't learn from history.

    (great thread btw, good song choice too)

     

    "History's debt won't be repaid."

     

    Maybe it means: Regardless of what an ascended society does NOW they can not repay for the deeds it took for them to get there. (ahem, American Indians...)

     

     

    QUESTION:

     

    "Ten score years ago, defeat the kingly foe"

     

    Can anyone narrow down who/what year this is? Is Neil talking about the US/UK revolutionary war? (~1776?)

    "Spindrift" -- Dark, midtempo tune. Not terribly melodic. "What am I supposted to say / What are the words to answer you / When you talk that way."

    Spin Drift: "What am I supposted to say..."

     

    You can clearly hear this at the end of the Spin Drift sample on Rush.com bncegrn.gif

    Faith does not always mean "faith" in *religion*.

     

    "i don't have faith in faith" I think he means he does not have confidence in the verb 'Faith' as a tool or method of observation.

     

    *edit*

     

    I had a longer response but I'll just summarize it: Your opinion is totally retarded. sarcasm.gif

    Music Recording Software?

    in Making Modern Music

    Posted · Edited by TacRedline

    Ok, so I went to a competitor of Guitar Center and found this awesome software:

     

    http://www.finalemusic.com/printmusic/

     

    Got it for $59.

     

    The only issue is it is midi input ONLY (as Bluefunk said above) so I'll have to play keyboard to see the music created as I write it.

     

    If I want to this on bass I'd have to add a Midi Pickup TO my bass, about $600.

     

    I'm going to stick with the keyboard approach first and maybe add the midipickup on my acoustic bass later on.

     

    thanks for the help

     

    see ya

    *bass* - Easier Rush Songs?

    Freewill.It sounds hard,but it's actually easy.The solo section might be tough,but if you practice,you'll be able to play it.It's also really fun,you feel like you've accomplished something.

    but there are tons of crazy bass fills in Free Will, I can hear every note in my head (from memory), but I can't play it. scared.gif

     

    unless there is a way to cheat those fills? maybe just play the root notes? (i can never find the root notes unsure.gif )

    Posted · Edited by TacRedline

    I am waaay out of practice eh.gif

     

    So I'm just looking for suggestions of easier bass songs.

     

    Songs that are easier but also have a fast part THAT YOU CAN CHEAT ON will work too (those dam fills are so hard! scared.gif )

     

    I have no problem with time changes/odd times (Jacobs Ladder FTW 1022.gif)

     

    How Easy? I can play Tom Sawyer but my hands cramp on the repeating fast part...

     

    Thanks! ph34r.gif

    Music Recording Software?

    in Making Modern Music

    Posted · Edited by TacRedline

    Cool, All look very powerful, some expensive

     

    But all I want to do is record bass only (1 track) and have the software SHOW ME what I just played by notation and/or tabulature without paying for a whole studio software system.

     

    Any of the above actually do this specifically? unsure.gif

     

    Thanks! 1022.gif
