Members backtodrum Posted November 14, 2006 Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 My next passion would have been car and boat racing. I grew up with my Father racing boats and I have loved it ever since. But I find music a much less expensive and self sustaining hobby than racing, especially boats. Racing is very expensive! drums pay for themselves and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rockbeat Posted November 14, 2006 Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 Yeah, I would still be a musician, singer/guitarist most likely. If you're talking outside of music completely, I would probably do what I do now, painting and drywall. Meh, it's a living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sidereal Posted November 14, 2006 Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 All I know is I don't want to buy, sell, or process anything. Or buy anything sold or processed.

Members the DW Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 Believe it or not, I probably would have ended up being an engineer of some kind. That was the path my life was taking before I got sidetracked by music (and the associated lifesyle, know what I mean?) Just say no, kids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members manoeuver Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 I was brewing beer before I joined the band I'm in. liked it quite a bit. once weekly rehearsals started, dropped it like a leaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tmetaler Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 well... i havent really gotten to a point in my life where i had to choose between music and anything else considering im 17... so.... music-wise: i think i would play bass or try to be a lead singer... i think i would definately have the stage presence, just not the vocal talent!!

Members twosticks Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 ROFL Aqua!! I remember getting some flack from dad when I was younger about how I could "sling burgers a McDs and play drum on the corner with a tin cup hanging out" I really did work at McDs during my HS senior year and that's what made you post all the more funny! Something other in music? radio, recording, something in broadcasting? Outside of music for a career? I don't know. I would still scuba as a hobby but would only be a career if I was instructor at a tropic resort. ( high paying gigs in that field are rare also) Maybe a McDs manager?LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Old Steve Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 I never worked in fast food, but I did work at a couple of pizza places when I was younger. Nothing wrong with ANY work...a guy needs to make some money, so that means getting a job. I love the Spinal Tap reference to lead things off, thank WillyRay. I've got too many hobbies and not enough time. If I didn't play the drums, and if my wife and kids didn't gobble up the free time that quitting would generate, I'd Actually, I don't think I'd gain that much more free time. Right now, we rehearse once a week, and if I stopped doing that, I'd probably spend Wednesday nights watching TV. Gig-wise, a couple nights per month, I'd be in bed a helluva lot earlier, but that's about all. Of course, I wouldn't be hanging at HC either.

Members FitchFY Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 Fun thread! I'd be mountain biking way more - kinda my other passion. Probably playing guitar more, as well. I'd also be about 15 pounds heavier; I had to cut my weight lifting down to 2 days a week when I started playing regularly, which killed my heavy lifting and bulk muscle. I went from 190 down to 172 in about two months. Now I'm 180 pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Plainswalker Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 I'd probably be playing bass. It's weird, I started from rhythm guitar, to bass, to drums... getting deeper in the rhythm section as I go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hell, if the drums weren't taking up so much time, I'd probably be doing YOUR MOM. :D :D . I'm sorry, but I just realized no one took advantage of a perfect setup, and as junvenile and sad as it was... well, I took one for the team and went out there. My bad.

Members kvon Posted November 16, 2006 Members Share Posted November 16, 2006 Originally posted by WillyRay Well, I don't know, what are the hours? One of my favorite ending lines (or any lines, for that matter) of a movie. If I didn't play drums, I'd like to take martial arts as a hobby. Hell, I'd be taking it right now if I had the time/money.

You might be surprised at how it's also helped my drumming and other aspects of my life as well. Although, I'm kind of getting out of it now as far as actively practicing it ( except when some foo' forces me to practice on him. j/k. ). There was one martial arts school here in town when I moved here, and now it's closed. The guy was a good teacher, too. He just couldn't get enough students to keep it open.
