Of course, playing a drum beat isn't about skill, your brain simply has to comprehend how the simultaneous movement is applied correctly.

Yeah, thanks Spock... but doesn't that apply to ALL instruments? And isn't that, y'know, a type of skill?

CLUE: Yes

Drumming requires a lot of skill. Being able to play a 'basic beat' does not a drummer make. Trust me, I know.

Please dont act like a tard on my behaf. Oh this is your natural self? Sorry, apologies.

As i said a simple drum beat requires coordination not skill, unlike something like simple saxophone melodies, that require technique but not much coordiantion.

Your personal attack has been duly noted.

And you're wrong. Seriously. Almost to the point that it seems like you're making things up as you go along. Saxaphone melodies require technique but not much co-ordination? Really? That statement shows that your grasp of either Music or the English language is pretty woeful.

Forget him. he doesn't know what percussion is, and thinks its limited to little drummer boy.
Each instrument is different. Each instrument is easy until you try to play it.

Exactly. I play Drums, Guitar, Bass, Piano (terribly), Organ (see piano), Latin/African Percussion and am a classically-trained vocalist - each one presents it's own series of unique challenges. Some people have an aptitude for certain instruments, mine was drums - I picked it up really quickly and was gigging at 14.
Does that make it easy? Hell. No. I know virtuoso guitarists who can't even manage a straight 4/4 rock beat on the kit. It isn't easy to do it well, no matter what the instrument.

The boy does Marumba, Vibes, keyboards, piano, snare, and kettle. I play a wicked, and I mean wicked smart kazoo.

Nice one! We should start a Dakka Band!


I want to play the spoons though. That's my only stipulation.

Yes, the Baldurs Gate games was pure gold. Shame there will be nothing that can live up to them..

I havent played baldurs gat. im talking kotor onwards.

Bacon officially tastes good with everything. That is all.

Dutch snackbars completely own any kind of fast food chain.

Even though the food looks even more disgusting.

Point in case:The most common snack.


It's like a hamburger in wiener form, but better.

That looks disgusting? I think it looks extremely awesome.

Sir, spoons and kazoo were made for each other! now we just have to get someone to play the comb and we have our own backyard nuthouse prison band.

Just when I thought it was all over, no more testing for the rest of the year.. I find I was wrong.

Two more days of testing, this time to determine placement.

OK, bitterballen (yes, that's bitterballs) and yes, thats what's inside, crusty things with unidentifiable meaty paste stuff inside.

I wouldn't eat that, and I'm British.

Assuming those aren't testes of some kind or another, they still look good.

Then again, everything looks good after you've eaten military rations.

They aren't testes, their meat industry waste processed into paste if i'm not mistaken (though this is somewhat diminished by getting proper brands).

And they are a parties best friend and worst nightmare.

Best friend: their damn tasty, everyone wants.

Worst nightmare: You try cleaning that stuff up, be it just dropped, or projectile vomited across the place(which is bound to happen if you eat to many).

OH, stick version btw, called a kroket

So... battered Hot dogs in ball form?

Count me freakin' in!

metallifan wrote:So... battered Hot dogs in ball form?

It's semi liquid... with chunks. xD

All deep fried btw.

I think I'll stick to my roast dinners, thank you very much.

The kroket sounds alot like a corndog.

You're not really selling this to me at all - and I'm not crazy about Dutch food to begin with! That said, I DID have some rather excellent ribs in an all-you-can-eat rib joint in Amsterdam. That place was awesome - you can eat an unlimited amount of ribs whilst drinking beer and watching football! Glorious.

I'll eat anything, you have to if you want to survive in this fething world.

Hell I've even eaten alligator and snakes.

Would you eat yourself? You might have to someday.

Amsterdam is about as dutch as the North Pole.

This is how the selection "board" in a dutch snackbar looks:

My fav RPG is Summoner anyway.

@Cheese

Maybe, just alittle though ill start with my ear, as I need my hands to play guitar.

I would eat a person though if I had a chance.


Also this gorgeous girl I've known for about 2 years just mentioned she plays 40k.

I thought it was sweet.

Mmm tasty person And the girly part sounds awesom Shadowbrand. And today i fel on my face in a pile of horsegak... YAY

My high school math (which I did 3 years ago now) wasn't good enough to get me into Computer Science. I have to either take a remedial math course really fast (I'm having trouble finding one that qualifies) or take something else.

Apparently taking a humanities can be a good way to get into the video game industry, so I'm looking at doing philosophy. Writing, analysing video games, and talking about non-technical ideas are really the only three things that can I claim to be genuinely good at, so I figure thats as good a path as any.

Also, I'm playing Mass Effect 2. I want to write for Bioware, they seem to genuinely understand the need for games to explore complex ideas. Oh, I guess the gameplay is pretty good too.
