Members pconn171 Posted March 22, 2005 Members Share Posted March 22, 2005 Just wanted to say that not only have I not seen a whole lot of bashing of certain drummers on here lately, but I also took a stroll over to the recording forum and asked some questions and I've decided that 80% of those people are a$$holes. This forum is always so helpful and useful with tons of people giving good advice, but over there nobody tried to really help out. I hope the drum forum never turns into that.

Members rockbeat Posted March 22, 2005 Members Share Posted March 22, 2005 Curiousity got the best of me and I tracked down the thread you're talking about and I see what you mean. That guy came off like a real ass. I peruse other forums as well and it's been my experience for the most part that there is a much smaller percentage of a--holes here than anywhere else.

Members Ignited Posted March 22, 2005 Members Share Posted March 22, 2005 Your statements really do have a good deal of merit. Since I'm a drummer, I may be a little biased, but I've always felt as though drummers are part of a more tight-knit community. There are many reasons for this, but I think the main reason is that there just aren't as many drummers out there, compared to the over-abundance of guitarists, bassists, etc. That gives us a little more sense of pride, and we enjoy sharing that with other drummers.

Members pconn171 Posted March 22, 2005 Author Members Share Posted March 22, 2005 I'm glad everyone agrees - and I'm glad to hear that the bass forum is cool too because the bass player in my band actually sticks by me pretty tight too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then there are bassists who play bass because they couldn't play guitar in their band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I don't think Thunderbroom(and his G&L L-2000) fit into that catagory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members headmasterchaos Posted March 23, 2005 Members Share Posted March 23, 2005 I agree. The last time I was in the recording forum, they were complete assholes. Well, perhaps gear snobs is a better term. That was quite a while ago so maybe its improved. The kind of people that tell you if you don't use a Neve pre, you're waisting your time. Meanwhile they're using some Behringer POS... I've been around a lot of online recording forums and that seems to be a trend. This area seem to be much more helpful than others on this board. I think we all know what's up. Its the drums and the bass that make up a band. 'Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRuM Posted March 24, 2005 Members Share Posted March 24, 2005 Actually reading kiwiburgers replies in other threads, he doesn't seem so bad. I think pconn got a bit unlucky with his response from kiwiburger. Then again, if they really do get a whole load of people conning them into advice when they're actually only trying to get votes for their songs, I could understand his point. Nevertheless, I think he could have made more effort to actually try giving some advice even against his better judgement. So in this instance at least, yes, he's an ass.

Members portnoyfan84 Posted March 24, 2005 Members Share Posted March 24, 2005 Originally posted by pconn171 [/quoteOh yeah - the guy with the DW's that didn't even own them. I always thought his advice was somewhat credible too - it's a shame he was a sham. Wasn't he supposed to be a psychologist or something? yes thats the one:D . yes he said that he was a psychologist. I trusted him for a while and he seemed ok but then it came out he was a sham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
