Fox drums are fun, they are the basis of any good music and make dancing much easier, how else would we find rhytm? 020212

Reverend Lough drums are the liason between the soul and rhythm. drumming can open up new doors of perception.
drumming at the edge of magic.

stomach acid this irritates me:

the braggart who thinks, "hey, if i can play the guitar, i can play the drums! it can't be that hard!" and then proceeds to sit down at my kit and play so loudly and horribly that i have to fight myself not to get up and start strangling them.

you cannot just smash random drum heads and sound decent. it's a lot more complicated than a lot of people assume. some are born without any sense of rhythm, some are drunk when they attempt to play, and some have egos as bloated as they come, effectively causing anything they do to sound magical. "lookit me go! i's makin' noise!" even one who can bang out a rudimentary 4/4 beat annoys the hell out of me, because they often hammer it out until their arms fall asleep, or i force them to stop. what about polyrhythms? 7/4? 10/5?

STAY AWAY FROM MY DRUMS! i don't want a hole in my snare drum. volume does not necessarily equal talent.

finis.

F. Lee Ukulele :: Atty. at Slaw what is a fifth note?
10/5?

i'm genuinely interested and could find almost nothing in a web search.

ps i'm familiar with standard music notation, so couch your answer with that in mind.

stomach acid 10/5 was a typographical error on my part.

i was speaking in terms of time signatures, and how few drummers outside of the jazz camp employ rhythms other than the universal 4/4, 2/4 or the occasional 3/4 or 6/8. it should have been 10/4, along with 7/4 and 5/4. i know there are other, even more unusual time signatures...9/7 and 12/10, perhaps? most of them seem relegated to avant-garde and avant-classical music, along with more out-there jazz. i can think of only one "contemporary" artist that employed some of those time signatures, but his best work had nothing in common with conventional pop or the mainstream. hence his obscurity.

not even YOU or this feeling that you

Thought I was so good
Couldn't match up with shit
Don't know jack about music
Can't play worth a damn
Suck balls I'm out of this

In case you couldn't tell, I think very poorly of my percussive skills. I've been playing tons of drum/percussion instruments as well as piano for about 6 years now, and I suck. I grow tired of my large amount of suckage. Just make me want to quit. But if I did that, I wouldn't really have anything to live for now would I? I'm out

small_girl_with_purple_hair the more i learn about playing drums the more i realise how bad i am

especially with jazz. you can play rock or basic swing rhythm and feel like you know everything, and then you hear an amazing jazz player and see how much you suck

it makes me want to practice hard
