Re: Drummer joke
I once read an article on how to become a drummer, and it went something like this.....
1. Get a drum kit
2. That's it, you're a drummer.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: Drummer joke
True story, I bought a new tap on Saturday. I asked the guy if he could recommend anyone to instal it for me and he thought about it for a while then said “a plumber”.
I beat him to death with the tap.

Re: Drummer joke
Grading term papers right now and a student argued that singers, because they don't play musical instruments, are considered lesser figures. I responded that singers aren't the second-class citizens of the music world; that would be drummers.

Re: Drummer joke
Singing is fucking hard. It's not like you know you'll hit the right note because your finger is depressing the string at the right point. I guess brass instruments are similar. When I listen to demos of shit that I record, I can always hear my voice bend to be in tune on the first note. I guess you can train yourself to not be that way, but it's not natural for me.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑12 Dec 2018, 11:27amThe singer is also the one who almost everyone stares at.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: Drummer joke
You shouldn't bother trying to sing in tune if you can't. Just let what ever naturally comes out come out and work with that. Because this is how you sound.matedog wrote: ↑12 Dec 2018, 11:37amSinging is fucking hard.
