Musician thread

I bought my SVT-4Pro and some other rack effects at Guitar Center, but I prefer to go to the little Mom & Pop Guitar Stores to purchase my guitars. I like customizing my guitars to be unique as possible, and typicaly the smaller stores deal directly with whomever (I prefer Schecter, Carvin, Ernie Ball MusicMan) can get custom orders.

I usually go to this store on Pacific St in downtown Santa Cruz by the Metro. Dun remember the name tho :dunno

Are you still playing?

EDIT: Stupid me, I left the El cerrito GC without asking for the tremolo bar and so I have to wait until they order one and "it arrives." :rolleyes Seems like they remove all the arms from their guitars so that neighborhood street rats won't come in and swipe them, like they do with the switch tips. No really, wtf are you going to do with stolen switch tips?! :wtf

Oh, and a salesman told me that all the instruments they have are on display. :| Right...stop lying you worthless sack of s**t, I know you have more in the back. Sometimes I really hate going to GC, they're like Golden Gate Cycles for musicians. :thumbdown

I heard that, I was like:

The bands I "Played along side" were the bands on the bill. I met most of them. Death By Stereo and Rise Against both were awesome ppl. My favorite being Efrem, he DJ's down in Fullerton, CA and I went to see 1 of his gigs. Awesome, funny guy.

Not a metal head ;) Just appreciative of their music. I was into Punk at the time, but now I'm favoring more of the Anberlin / Alexisonfire stuff.

No one ever said you had to do fills. You don't have to be like Buddy Rich to be a good drummer. :thumbup

haha true. i never said i was any good. in fact, i'm not great at all, i can do basic beats, but nothing special. i'm trying to learn how to do the whole, separating each hand and foot and having them all do different things at the same time, but with different beats and it's nuts!@! I have good rhythm with guitar and bass (where the hands are synchronized), but where they're separated, it's hard. I just wish i had the money and time to learn as I don't have a set and the only time I can try to learn is when I go to a friend who has a set or just d*ck around at guitar center haha
 
It's part of the house. You can tell the prior owner of the home added this stuff on. My old man and I basically just put the window separating the drum room from the monitoring room. That and shit loads of acoustic treatment!

The drum room gets no A.C. (poor drummer dude lol)and even the monitoring room doesn't get cool. Rest of the house stays nice and cool tho. All the equipment heat doesn't help either.
