I'm going to kill my Bandmates. slowly...painfully.

I don't know if any of you will know where I'm coming from with this, it's more of a musician thing than an auto enthusiast thing...but I play Drums/percussion in a Band. For some reason the *fine young men* I play with refuse to accept me as a true Musician, simply because My Drum Kit doesn't produce "notes that change" (direct quote From Bassist)
One of their favorite past times is to sit behind my instrument and BEAT THE LIVING HELL out of it using the Wrong end of the stick. I've tried explaining that Human Skin oil is basically SULFURIC ACID to each one of my Cymbals (each one well over 170 Bucks each, up to 250, and I have 9) yet they continue to Grab, Smack, Handle, and generally grime up my precision engineered equipment with no regard for what I've told them more then 40 times this year already.
They don't seem to realize that a drum kit is an instrument too, and the simple fact is that My drumkit cost more than everyone else's instruments put together. yet somehow, since it doesn't produce "notes that change" it's cheap, easily replaced, and impossible to break.

You may ask why I don't just leave the band...well...I don't know. I guess I'm a mental Masochist or something. as bad as my mood is when I AM playing music, it gets worse when I'm not.

in closing, don't let the lack of Cursing fool you. I manage to express myself very well (In real life anyway) without Curse words...when you see me Curse, then run for the hills, cause the world will be coming to a flaming horrible death.

Ugh. that bassist is gonna get a Fretboard up his ass.

I want to see curse words ! I want to feel your anger ! Let us help you relase your pain !

If you don't come back and curse me I will know you have no soul.......



j/k:D it's not fair the way muso's treat drummers!

im suprised that BASSIST said that to ya, man. Must not be a very good bassist, cause everyone knows the bassist and drummer work together on the rythm and speed of the song. And drums sure as hell can produce differnt sounds....that's why you have more than one drum. Dude, dont take that shit from them. If they aren't willing to respect your equipment, then leave. You KNOW how anal they get if you even look at their guitar the wrong way. So why should you act any different?

Got news for you Dustin.

You are an idiot. Does your momma still make sack lunchs for you too? Be a man and tell then to not touch things that don't belong to them..FIRMLY. Sheesh, what a fruit. Its like seperating kids when one is yelling "Billy keeps touching me!"

I didn't need to curse either to tell you that.

Oh, Sham, I've tried your way. They just get angry over the fact that I must think I can tell them not to mess with my stuff.

and Taranaki? Damn, those were funny. but, in the interest of Keeping my soul,

You Muther-fuggin Ass-rat! I'm gonna shove a 2-B Marching Stick up your ass, Mushroom-Tip FIRST! :D

Steel- The Bassist and I usually do get along, everywhere except a musical environment. He's one of them "Lead Bass" players...heard of theM?:rolleyes: :bloated: Ya know, the Kind that don't even realize Frets 1 through 12 exist?

Well, no band is complete with out a drummer. So I say jump ship and see what happens next time they try to play somewhere.

oh, lead bassit. those guys are greeeeeat. :rolleyes: Tell ya what, every song ive ever heard with a "lead basssist" sucks. Excpet for in the case of Flea, but he doesnte ven lead, he just does some wild crap that sounds good. Now, bass intro's are cool, but not when the bassist doesnt want to leave the guitar octave. yessh.

Oh yeah, and if they dont respect your instrument, don't let them use it. simple as that. I don't mid people using my bass, as long as they dont screw aroudn with it, and BREAK THE FREAKING E STRING!! (yes! this happened the other day?) how the hell does one break an E string on a bass guitar?! I think it's a combinatiion of stupidity, disrespect for anothers instrument, and thinking that they know how to play slap bass when they really dont ( hey look, i can play slap...Pwoow pwoow.....pOWWWWOwwww "hey man, quit that, you'll break it" "naw i wont" Pwoow PWOO PWSNAP!)

LOL!!!!!

steel, I know where you're coming from- I've seen morons actually break the B on a 5 String...but at the time it was tuned to an Earth shattering D. Costly as it probably was, I have to say it sounded cool...VERY cool...and I agree with the Flea statement. that man can PLAY! I just wish he'd put some clothes on.:bloated:

beat the shit out of them with your drum sticks and when you brek one stab them with the pointy end:biggrin2: :cry:

yeah, and bass trings arent exactly cheap. This kid owes me 30 bucks for the new set. Yes, i changed the set, cause when you have 1 new string and 3 old ones, it just doesn't sound good.

the way i'd do it is if they mess with your shit, you punch them in the nose..either that or mess up their shit ...yeah why don't you just do that?......the fucks with your shit?! you just put everything out of tune and totally fuck their strings up.....when they ask "WTF?!" you just say ...you shouldn't have messed with my drums you fuckin moron....:evillaugh :evillaugh :evillaugh :evillaugh :evillaugh

preach on!!!!

I must say... everyone who plays an instrument in the city of Milwaukee, except me... needs a beating. I've tried out for, or at least considered every band here... they all stink. No one has any motivation, everyone just wants to be a famous rock star before they even write a song. I constantly put up ads that say I like... for example... brit pop... and will get replies from people wanting me to play lead guitar in their rap-metal group. I don't get it. I am fed up. I hate being a musician.

Oh, and the "lead bassist" statement... well, I sorta agree... but there is a band called Ned's Atomic Dustbin, they have two bassits. One that plays the traditional boring root-note quarter notes. And another that does melody stuff. It's not solo at all, pure melody, and it's really really good. However, bass solos (when the rest of the band is off stage and just the bassits) along with drum solos, guitar solos... all need to go. Masturbate at home, not on stage when I paid $20 to see it.
