stuff I don't know.: Why? Unless you find my stupidity endearing then I accept! and many lovely returns too! xo


I only have met guitarists soI don't know how is a drummer personality is? Is the sexy part the subjective quality? As some people find quitarists sexy? ( I don't) ( I find them my total opposite so why I attract them I have no idea)

or maybe he was just quite literally sex on a stick?

yeah, probably

No doubt the natural reference to sexy clarinetists simply slipped your mind.

[sweetwater]

Do drummers like Blue Man Group and Stomp performances, or is there an unbearable professional compromise going on of which the rest of us are unaware?

Oooooooo, yes! the clarinetist! Very sexy beasts---orally fixated no doubt

[SteveDallas]

Umm, not so much.

Here's something I don't know: Why the hell would somebody buy an SUV and then mince along at 3MPH over a road that's being resurfaced?

I'm a drummer. I've only seen DVDs of these guys at Fry's, and I thought they were neat.

Cool gadgets; and group drumming doesn't need ultra-coordinated supermen, because you've got all these different brains controlling all these different arms and legs and instruments. All it takes is practice to get down the together-ness. Hours and hours of practice.

Although, drummers may prefer more technically-oriented group performances, like the Hip Pickles:



I read a recent article about the Blue Man Group in Modern Drummer. They talked about recruiting new Blue Men, and the options were either to #1 recruit someone with theater experience who could be taught to drum, or #2 to recruit someone with drumming experience who could be taught to act. Both types of recruits have been successful, in that type of "performance art" act.

Now, I have a question:

Why is the amount that an audio amplifier boosts a signal refered to as "Volume" ???

The "Volume" of what? This doesn't make sense with what the term "Volume" means in other contexts.

Is it because of the volume of air displaced by the speaker cone? You couldn't know that at the amp, because it depends on the frequencies in the signal; bass frequencies having a higher "volume" than tiny tweeter frequencies. Also depends on the ability of the driver to reproduce those frequencies. And the efficiency of the driver. etc.

Could it refer to the "volume" of tubes or something in some archaic technology?

[SteveDallas]

It's the "volume" of graph paper under the curve when you chart the sound waves.

[Undertoad]

It certainly is more volume of air, and I guess RMS power, because it doesn't matter if it's adding volume of bass or trebly frequencies, it's adding volume of either it encounters.

I bought an olde powere ampe and it doesn't have any attenuation knob! It can only amplify and never lower volume!

This happens once or twice a week, around 1 or 2 or so. It lasts for about 15-20 minutes. The heavy energy sapping tiredness is so powerful, I almost fall asleep at my desk sometimes. I have been startled awake before. It's frightening.

too much coffee throughout the day and not enough H2O? Circadian rhythms? Too much "night activity"? Could it be that 32 bar of cadbury fruit and nut chocolate you always eat at 2:30?

Hello again. I don't know how to extract the audio from a DVD to an mp3 file on my computer. I use iTunes with satisfactory success to rip my cds to mp3, but this didn't work for a recent acquisition of a Rick Wakeman audio DVD. There are other examples of audio on DVD that I'd like to have grace my iTunes library too, but.. I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA
