Well kiddies!...Day ONE is about to begin!  (Honey!! Come in here we're going to do Day One!!...) HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!  Should be heading down to the beach after breakfast but the Princess is still fast asleep so I have NO idea when that might be!!  I will try to locate a place that can put our pics on disc today. Should have some great stuff. I fell asleep around quarter to nine last night and awoke to the sound of fireworks!  We looked out off the balcony and a HUGE fireworks display was going on out over Mission Bay!!!  HA!!!!!!!!!!!!! We snapped a few pictures of THAT,too. It lasted about twenty minutes so I am assuming it will be a nightly occurence.

		I sort of have the same problem as you do in regard to fills and solos. Those exercises (solo 1 2 &3) they help to sort of regulate that especially if you use a metronome whilst practicing. The notations on the net are horrid! I agree that writing them out in your own music book is much much better. I don't know if you get Drummer or Modern Drummer magazine where you are? They usually have some great exercises in the back and usually a song or two. I seriously recomend the Pearl kit if you are unsure.. you'll love it!      Becks wrote: Timing is my thing I always need to work on too! An earpiece metronome sounds cool. I admit when it comes to drumming hardware I am a novice, I just want a standard kit to start with and I'll take it from there haha. With timing, whenever I am playing a wee solo and a fill comes up, I almost get over excited and go through it a tiny bit too fast LOL! I'm finding it so hard to find any good notation too, what I am going to do is by music sheets and try to write some Priest notation myself by ear, and by using Rock Band (as strange as that sounds). On the expert level every drum note is used so that may help. Figuring out what time signature songs are may stuff me up though LOL!      joedraper wrote: I'm getting more practice with timing now that I've got a decent metronome. One that clips into my ear (anything else you just can't hear lol)  I can't wait for you to get an acoustic kit. I am very happy with the Pearl Vision series. It is excellent value for money although there are so many good kits out there. Noooo! You cannot banish it to the garage when it comes! What's wrong with the living room floor? lol j/k. If you very worried about upsetting neighbours/spouses with the volume you can get those rings that go on the drums to mute them? like studio rings? Or you can get those jazz type drum sticks the ones that have brushes on the ends. You just put a hair band around the brushes so you can still hit the drums and it sort of mutes the sound enough to keep the neigbourhood off your back lol. I am very fortunate that my neighbours are either very tolerant, very deaf or I just can't hear them when they bang on the door to complain.      Becks wrote: Heya Joe! Sounds like there's some bizarre albums at your house, LOL! How's your drumming coming along? Mine is ok, and I think I have worn Craig down enough that he will let me buy a normal drum kit if I get this job I'm waiting to hear about, YAY! As long as it lives in the garage is the only condition I think, LOL! Electronic is good, but I want something to bash on properly!      joedraper wrote: Becks, I have some simalarly tormenting/demented albums in my CD collection. I have a husband who likes to taunt me and sneaks in things like:  Pat Boone: In A Metal Mood (nearly chocked on my coffee first time that had a spin).  William Shatne: Has Been (ok so that title is so self explanetory in more ways than one lol) Strummin' With The Devil: The Southern Side Of Van Halen ( has anyone seen that clip of Diamond Dave performing this song with these guys on the Conan 'O Brian show? and if the answer is yes why the hell was he grinning like the Chesire cat on extremely good quality acid?) He's now threatening to get something he found on amazon called The Dub Side Of The Moon.. It's like deep reggae/dub version of some Pink Floyd songs.. Scary what's out there waiting to jump out of the closet!      Becks wrote: Very nice pics MG! Night, sleep well! Argh I was just looking up Judas Priest stuff on the main New Zealand auction website, and a copy of Hayseed Dixie - Weapons of Grass Destruction is for sale on there. LMAO yuck!!!!      ~ MG_Metalgoddess~ wrote: LMAO  I was so mad I forgot the 2 nd pic... LOL Well Iam off to bed ... Long day... longer day tomorrow.. LOL Hugs to all... MG~
