Yeah, you are talking about the action. I used to have some trouble, but then my fingers got stronger, and I can do them now no sweat. Get an electric anyway though, so you can shred people up!Originally Posted by StoneChucker

There wasn't enough musical talent to go around in my family, so rather than do an equitable divvy-up, my sister got the lot! Piano lessons went really well until I was supposed to use two hands at the same time... I have about as much rhythm as a father of 17 and sing like one of the rejects from NZ Idol. In school choir I was always the wannabe baritone with the partially broken voice who got hidden in the back row. However I am a sucker for a good tune and a clever lyric (although I don't always hear them right, but that's usually due to the singer's piss poor diction, rather than my bad ear!).

Hmm been playing drums for about oh i dunno 5 years now. Got the good old pearl forum 5 piece with some pretty good cymbals. Looking for a band to join at the moment(well have been for about a year now hahahahaha)
Oh and i have a set of the mighty bongo's. maybe if i can transport them i can bring them on the waikato rally.

Stop LOOKING for a band and get off your arse and form one. Then provide the motivation to keep it going. Looking for a band is a bit like looking for sex. Just do it, cope with the 300:1 rejection ratio and you'll end up with compatible band mates. No freaking excuses now either. And no endless practices. Practice in public and fall on your arse sometimes. It's the only way to learn.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Yip tried forming a band .....twice. First time just fell apart cause guys got board. Second time we had a good group of muso's but then the guitarist left and the new guy that the others brought played a different style. Pretty soon it was death metal band. I like playing a bit of everything but i just got bored i suppose. :spudwhat:
Forum whore
That's only a couple of people dude - excuses I say. If the musical direction skews from what you are after in the band YOU formed, fire the dude causing the problem, or even better be REALLY, REALLY, clear about what you want from YOUR band when you recruit people. Don't take the first monkey that turns up unless they are the right person of course. Now stop arguing with me and don't post again until you have a band together (j/k).
Keep at it 'til you find the right people. It is harder than getting married.

I'd rather be thinking
And with just about everything else.
I think when it comes to music there are 2 kinds of people: those who play and those who wished they could. The difference between listening to music and making it is the difference between sitting on a bike and actually riding it...
As for me, it was piano lessons at the age of 5, terminated after 6 weeks when it became apparent that I was more interested in making my own than in practising scales. Some years later, I began to teach myself. I still prefer making my own music...
Age is too high a price to pay for maturity

The late Cozy Powell rode an RC30. Serious bike for a serious drummer. Apparently he was pretty bloody quick, too.

Yeah, a dreadful pity that one so talented behind the drum kit and on two wheels dies behind the wheel of a Saab.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
