Rock on, dude!!!




I haven't played drums in public in... mumblemumble... must have been fun for you.

Oi, I play a show at least once every week. It's not very fun anymore. My hearing is seriously deminishing.

I'll see if I can find a pic of me rockin' out. The club I play in, the stand for the drumset is way in back, past the front row of the crowd. So pics are always dark. I do believe I have at least one though.

At first I was going to say it's Buddy Rich with his sticks!!

 But after seeing the of the pics it's looks more like Keith Moon!! 8-)  Party On!!

 Looks like it was a great time for all!! 8-)

Next stop Woodstock 8-)

We've got to get a Teamspeak jam going one day. Looks like everyone had a great time. Nice to hear you got a guitar, wonder if it's got any "blues" in it.  ;)

Take it from an old drummer with a touch of tinnitus: get good hearing protection NOW, and use it religiously!!!

For me, it turned out not to be the drums themselves, but my monitor wedge that did the damage- my left ear still "shreds" on occasion, especially if I'm listening to live music... and my ringing is very mild, but could be worse.
And the drums and cymbals certainly can damage your ears over time.
It's no fun.

Let's put it this way: you know that ringing you get for a few hours after a show or whatever? Now imagine it never going away...when I do notice it, it's annoying.

My range of hearing is still very good after all those years drumming and mixing live sound (tops off at about 18 KHz, last time I checked), but there's definitely some damage, and I wish I'd been more careful.

I used to use ear plugs from time to time, but not every time... gotta do it every time.

It's quite suprising that even mods know how to party properly.  ;)

Looks like a great time Dave ...  [smiley=beer.gif]

Didn't know you could drum ...  :D

My wife has had tooooo much!!!!!!

There can be some short term advantages to that ..  [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=evil.gif]

We so need to have a SimV jam session!  I can bring my guitar and bass guitar (just started with the bass), you can play drums, Jared can strum out on his 12 string....

Ozzy singing? No bats allowed though...

No doves either...

Here is one of me I took a few days ago. The band I play in plays mostly country, and classic rock. I play lead, my wife plays bass, and of course we have a rhythm guitarist and a drummer
