What do you beat beats out of?

I will poast my hobokit when i find where i have put my pictures.

In the meantime, you poast yours!

Spot reserved.

Current arrangement of drum kit.

Primary objective: GRIND!

I forgot i already imageshack'd mine.

As a five piece:


And as they currently stand now as a blurry fourpiece:

I see traffic cones.

No blinkies, though. Chris needs blinkies.

They are way better than cinder blocks.

I wouldn't mind some blinkies.

A friend of mine absconded with one of those big yellow DPW sawhorse/blinkie things way back in the day. That fucking thing blinked for a lonnnnnnnnng time before its battery died. It may still have been blinking when he got rid of it months later, actually. I only ever remember seeing it blinking, never off.

I miss my drums.

Fucking blinkies. Glorious. Those fuckers were so hard to stash or get rid of. Those and golf course flags. What do I do with this? Fuck?! There's no on/off switch.

Random question I want to know the answer to: traffic cones or barrels: what demands the switch between the two? Is this someone's choice or a legal regulation? Why not one or the other?

Probably largely due to the fact that you can fit hundreds of cones on a truck and can install them in minutes over several miles, with one worker and one driver. Conversely, you can only fit tens of barrels in the same truck, and if they are sand-filled, they might require a backhoe as well as a couple more workers to install. Also, a lot of times you will see the cones go out, later to be replaced with barrels every ten or so of them, later to be replaced with Jersey barriers. So it probably is a combination of how quickly they can get them out there, and proper written regulation compliance.

I would also assume that construction sites and the like would just have them drawn on the blueprint. Probably depends on how permanent/temporary the area is to be cordoned off, whether or not the barrier will separate people/pedestrians/workers from cars, that sort of thing. And it is probably dictated at some engineering level by some obscure-ass legal/safety/OSHA regulations. I am sure the DPW has a huge encyclopedia-like set of volumes just of traffic barrier rules someplace. For worksites, probably the unions also have regulations re: what is required before workers can begin working in sufficient safety, etc.

It would totally bring lulz to set a row of poles in cement, sticking up about 24-30" them drop a cone on it in a nice conish type line and sit back and watch the look on the faces as people hit the cones to find, they no haz movement. Maybe even fill teh cone with cement to make a nice cone mold. With a warning sign, Please Don't Hit Cones. How could people not hit them?

I like way you think. It reminds me of a story I heard once about some kids going around knocking people's mailboxes off with a baseball bat... some enterprising person purchased two mailboxes and a large metal pole to mount them on, the smaller inside the larger with cement filling the gap. They were rewarded with a nice, if moderately scuffed aluminum baseball bat for their troubles.

Need more cymbals..
It's a blank canvas begging to be filled.

I think you should move the snare left. It looks like your leg might have to do some real snaking to get at that pedal.

My skinny little legs hardly even touch the snare..

They shouldn't be touching the snare at all to begin with. Snare in the center is for double-kick setups...

I seem to like it there.


I've always had it my lap when I would first play so I am used to it.

I just moved it to the left for a moment and I've concluded it makes little to no difference in terms of leg movement.


It just angles me towards the left side of the kit is all.
